Psalms 146

1 Praise Yah. Praise Yhwh, O my soul.

Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

2 While I live will I praise Yhwh: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

Nitamsifu Bwana maisha yangu yote; nitamwimbia Mungu wangu sifa wakati wote niishipo.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

Usiweke tumaini lako kwa wakuu, kwa wanadamu ambao hufa, ambao hawawezi kuokoa.

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

Roho yao itokapo hurudi mavumbini, siku hiyo hiyo mipango yao yote hukoma.

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yhwh his God:

Heri yeye ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake ni katika Bwana, Mungu wake,

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

Muumba wa mbingu na nchi, na bahari na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake: Bwana anayedumu kuwa mwaminifu milele na milele.

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. Yhwh looseth the prisoners:

Naye huwapatia haki walioonewa na kuwapa wenye njaa chakula. Bwana huwaweka wafungwa huru,

8 Yhwh openeth the eyes of the blind: Yhwh raiseth them that are bowed down: Yhwh loveth the righteous:

Bwana huwafumbua vipofu macho, Bwana huwainua waliolemewa na mizigo yao, Bwana huwapenda wenye haki.

9 Yhwh preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

Bwana huwalinda wageni na kuwategemeza yatima na wajane, lakini hupinga njia za waovu.

10 Yhwh shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelu jah.

Bwana atamiliki milele, Mungu wako, ee Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Bwana.
