Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

2 As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

Nitamsifu Bwana maisha yangu yote; nitamwimbia Mungu wangu sifa wakati wote niishipo.

3 Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

Usiweke tumaini lako kwa wakuu, kwa wanadamu ambao hufa, ambao hawawezi kuokoa.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

Roho yao itokapo hurudi mavumbini, siku hiyo hiyo mipango yao yote hukoma.

5 Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

Heri yeye ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake ni katika Bwana, Mungu wake,

6 Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

Muumba wa mbingu na nchi, na bahari na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake: Bwana anayedumu kuwa mwaminifu milele na milele.

7 Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

Naye huwapatia haki walioonewa na kuwapa wenye njaa chakula. Bwana huwaweka wafungwa huru,

8 Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

Bwana huwafumbua vipofu macho, Bwana huwainua waliolemewa na mizigo yao, Bwana huwapenda wenye haki.

9 Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

Bwana huwalinda wageni na kuwategemeza yatima na wajane, lakini hupinga njia za waovu.

10 Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!

Bwana atamiliki milele, Mungu wako, ee Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Bwana.
