Psalms 148
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
2 Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi, msifuni yeye, enyi nyota zote zingʼaazo.
4 Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
5 Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
6 He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
9 Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
10 wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
11 earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
12 young men and women, old people and children—
wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
13 Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
Wote na walisifu jina la Bwana, kwa maana jina lake pekee limetukuka, utukufu wake uko juu ya nchi na mbingu.
14 He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
