< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise you the LORD. Praise you the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
2 Praise you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.
Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
3 Praise you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.
Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi, msifuni yeye, enyi nyota zote zingʼaazo.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be above the heavens.
Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
5 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
6 He has also established them for ever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.
Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
7 Praise the LORD from the earth, you dragons, and all deeps:
Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling 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; creeping things, and flying fowl:
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 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
Wote na walisifu jina la Bwana, kwa maana jina lake pekee limetukuka, utukufu wake uko juu ya nchi na mbingu.
14 He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise you the LORD.
Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
