< Psalms 148 >

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.
Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani iNkosi lisemazulwini, idumiseni endaweni eziphezulu.
2 Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.
Idumiseni lonke zingilosi zayo. Idumiseni lonke mabandla ayo.
3 Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars.
Idumiseni langa lenyanga. Idumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhanyayo.
4 Praise Him, O highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for He gave the command and they were created.
Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.
6 He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.
Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, all great sea creatures and ocean depths,
Dumisani iNkosi lisemhlabeni, migobho yolwandle, lani zinziki zonke,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,
mlilo lesiqhotho, liqhwa elikhithikileyo lenkungu, siphepho esenza ilizwi layo;
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
10 wild animals and all cattle, crawling creatures and flying birds,
zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth,
Makhosi omhlaba, lani zizwe zonke, ziphathamandla, lani babusi bomhlaba,
12 young men and maidens, old and young together.
majaha, lani-ke zintombi, maxhegu labatsha.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His splendor is above the earth and the heavens.
Kabadumise ibizo leNkosi, ngoba ibizo layo lodwa liphakeme; ubukhosi bayo buphezu komhlaba lamazulu.
14 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!
Njalo iphakamisile uphondo lwabantu bayo, indumiso yabo bonke abangcwele bayo, eyabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu abaseduze layo. Dumisani iNkosi!
