< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
3 Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi, msifuni yeye, enyi nyota zote zingʼaazo.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
5 Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
6 He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:
umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
11 Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
13 For his name alone is exalted.
Wote na walisifu jina la Bwana, kwa maana jina lake pekee limetukuka, utukufu wake uko juu ya nchi na mbingu.
14 The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
