< Psalms 136 >
1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is eternal.
Mshukuruni Bwana, kwa kuwa ni mwema.
2 Confess to the God of gods, for his mercy is eternal.
Mshukuruni Mungu wa miungu.
3 Confess to the Lord of lords, for his mercy is eternal.
Mshukuruni Bwana wa mabwana:
4 He alone performs great miracles, for his mercy is eternal.
Kwake yeye pekee atendaye maajabu makuu,
5 He made the heavens with understanding, for his mercy is eternal.
Ambaye kwa ufahamu wake aliziumba mbingu,
6 He established the earth above the waters, for his mercy is eternal.
Ambaye aliitandaza dunia juu ya maji,
7 He made the great lights, for his mercy is eternal:
Ambaye aliumba mianga mikubwa,
8 the sun to rule the day, for his mercy is eternal:
Jua litawale mchana,
9 the moon and the stars to rule the night, for his mercy is eternal.
Mwezi na nyota vitawale usiku,
10 He struck Egypt along with their first-born, for his mercy is eternal.
Kwake yeye aliyemuua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Misri,
11 He led Israel away from their midst, for his mercy is eternal:
Na kuwatoa Israeli katikati yao,
12 with a powerful hand and an outstretched arm, for his mercy is eternal.
Kwa mkono wenye nguvu ulionyooshwa,
13 He divided the Red Sea into separate parts, for his mercy is eternal.
Kwake yeye aliyeigawa Bahari ya Shamu,
14 And he led out Israel through the middle of it, for his mercy is eternal.
Na kuwapitisha Israeli katikati yake,
15 And he shook off Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, for his mercy is eternal.
Lakini alimfagia Farao na jeshi lake katika Bahari ya Shamu,
16 He led his people through the desert, for his mercy is eternal.
Kwake yeye aliyewaongoza watu wake katika jangwa,
17 He has struck great kings, for his mercy is eternal.
Ambaye aliwapiga wafalme wenye nguvu,
18 And he has slaughtered strong kings, for his mercy is eternal:
Naye aliwaua wafalme wenye nguvu,
19 Sihon, king of the Amorites, for his mercy is eternal:
Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori,
20 and Og, king of Bashan, for his mercy is eternal.
Ogu mfalme wa Bashani,
21 And he granted their land as an inheritance, for his mercy is eternal:
Akatoa nchi yao kuwa urithi,
22 as an inheritance for his servant Israel, for his mercy is eternal.
Urithi kwa Israeli mtumishi wake,
23 For he was mindful of us in our humiliation, for his mercy is eternal.
Aliyetukumbuka katika unyonge wetu,
24 And he redeemed us from our enemies, for his mercy is eternal.
Alituweka huru toka adui zetu,
25 He gives food to all flesh, for his mercy is eternal.
Ambaye humpa chakula kila kiumbe.
26 Confess to the God of heaven, for his mercy is eternal. Confess to the Lord of lords, for his mercy is eternal.
Mshukuruni Mungu wa mbinguni,
