Psalms 148

1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.

Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani iNkosi lisemazulwini, idumiseni endaweni eziphezulu.

2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.

Idumiseni lonke zingilosi zayo. Idumiseni lonke mabandla ayo.

3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.

Idumiseni langa lenyanga. Idumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhanyayo.

4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.

5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:

Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.

6 And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.

Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.

7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

Dumisani iNkosi lisemhlabeni, migobho yolwandle, lani zinziki zonke,

8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy 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 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.

11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;

Makhosi omhlaba, lani zizwe zonke, ziphathamandla, lani babusi bomhlaba,

12 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —

majaha, lani-ke zintombi, maxhegu labatsha.

13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.

Kabadumise ibizo leNkosi, ngoba ibizo layo lodwa liphakeme; ubukhosi bayo buphezu komhlaba lamazulu.

14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!

Njalo iphakamisile uphondo lwabantu bayo, indumiso yabo bonke abangcwele bayo, eyabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu abaseduze layo. Dumisani iNkosi!
