< Psalms 146 >
1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.
Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.
2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
Ninamsifu Mungu maisha yangu yote; nitamuimbia sifa Mungu wangu ni ngali ni hai.
3 Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.
Msiweke imani katika wakuu au wanadamu, ambaye katika yeye hamna wokovu.
4 When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.
Wakati uhai wa pumzi ya mtu unapokoma, hurudi aridhini; siku hiyo mipango yake hufikia mwisho.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,
Amebarikiwa yule ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake liko katika Yahwe Mungu wake.
6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.
Yahwe aliumba mbingu na nchi, bahari, na vyote vilivyomo; huitazama kweli milele.
7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,
Yeye hutekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya walioonewa na huwapa chakula wenye njaa. Yahwe huwafungua waliofungwa;
8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.
Yahwe huyafungua macho ya kipofu; Yahwe huwainua walioinama; Yahwe huwapenda watu wenye haki.
9 The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.
Yahwe huwalinda wageni katika nchi; huwainua yatima na wajane, bali huipinga njia ya wasio haki.
10 The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
Yahwe atatawala milele, Mungu wako, Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Yahwe.
