Psalms 148
1 Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
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 ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi; msifuni yeye, nyota zote zing'aazo.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu zaidi na maji yaliyo juu ya anga.
5 Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
Na vilisifu jina la Yahwe, 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.
Pia ameviimrisha milele na milele; naye alitoa amri ambayo haitabadilika.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
Msifuni yeye kutoka nchi, ninyi viumbe wa baharini na viumbe vyote katika kina cha bahari,
8 Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:
moto na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, upepo wa dhoruba ukitimiza neno lake.
9 Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
Msifuni yeye, enyi milima na vilima, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
10 Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
wanyama pori na wanyama wafugwao, viumbe vitambaavyo na ndege.
11 Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
Msifuni Yahwe, wafalme wa nchi na mataifa yote, wakuu na watawala wote wa nchi,
12 Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
wote vijana wa kiume na vijana wa kike, wazee na watoto.
13 For his name alone is exalted.
Na walisifu jina la Yahwe, kwa kuwa jina lake pekee limetukuka na utukufu wake umeongezwa 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.
Naye ameyainua mapembe ya watu wake kwa ajili ya sifa kutoka kwa waaminifu wake wote, Waisraeli, watu wa karibu naye. Msifuni Yahwe.
