< Psalms 148 >

1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
Msifuni Yahwe. Msifuni Yahwe, ninyi mlio katika mbingu; msifuni yeye, ninyi mlio juu.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
Msifuni yeye, enyi malaika wake wote; msifuni yeye, majeshi ya malaika wake wote.
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi; msifuni yeye, nyota zote zing'aazo.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu zaidi na maji yaliyo juu ya anga.
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:
Na vilisifu jina la Yahwe, maana aliamuru, navyo vikaumbwa.
6 And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
Pia ameviimrisha milele na milele; naye alitoa amri ambayo haitabadilika.
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Msifuni yeye kutoka nchi, ninyi viumbe wa baharini na viumbe vyote katika kina cha bahari,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;
moto na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, upepo wa dhoruba ukitimiza neno lake.
9 Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;
Msifuni yeye, enyi milima na vilima, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
wanyama pori na wanyama wafugwao, viumbe vitambaavyo na ndege.
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
Msifuni Yahwe, wafalme wa nchi na mataifa yote, wakuu na watawala wote wa nchi,
12 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —
wote vijana wa kiume na vijana wa kike, wazee na watoto.
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.
Na walisifu jina la Yahwe, kwa kuwa jina lake pekee limetukuka na utukufu wake umeongezwa juu ya nchi na mbingu.
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!
Naye ameyainua mapembe ya watu wake kwa ajili ya sifa kutoka kwa waaminifu wake wote, Waisraeli, watu wa karibu naye. Msifuni Yahwe.
