< Psalms 146 >
1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,
2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Nitamsifu Bwana maisha yangu yote; nitamwimbia Mungu wangu sifa wakati wote niishipo.
3 Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.
Usiweke tumaini lako kwa wakuu, kwa wanadamu ambao hufa, ambao hawawezi kuokoa.
4 When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.
Roho yao itokapo hurudi mavumbini, siku hiyo hiyo mipango yao yote hukoma.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Heri yeye ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake ni katika Bwana, Mungu wake,
6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.
Muumba wa mbingu na nchi, na bahari na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake: Bwana anayedumu kuwa mwaminifu milele na milele.
7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,
Naye huwapatia haki walioonewa na kuwapa wenye njaa chakula. Bwana huwaweka wafungwa huru,
8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.
Bwana huwafumbua vipofu macho, Bwana huwainua waliolemewa na mizigo yao, Bwana huwapenda wenye haki.
9 The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.
Bwana huwalinda wageni na kuwategemeza yatima na wajane, lakini hupinga njia za waovu.
10 The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
Bwana atamiliki milele, Mungu wako, ee Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Bwana.
