< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise Yah. Praise Yhwh, O my soul.
Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.
2 While I live will I praise Yhwh: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Ninamsifu Mungu maisha yangu yote; nitamuimbia sifa Mungu wangu ni ngali ni hai.
3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
Msiweke imani katika wakuu au wanadamu, ambaye katika yeye hamna wokovu.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Wakati uhai wa pumzi ya mtu unapokoma, hurudi aridhini; siku hiyo mipango yake hufikia mwisho.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yhwh his God:
Amebarikiwa yule ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake liko katika Yahwe Mungu wake.
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
Yahwe aliumba mbingu na nchi, bahari, na vyote vilivyomo; huitazama kweli milele.
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. Yhwh looseth the prisoners:
Yeye hutekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya walioonewa na huwapa chakula wenye njaa. Yahwe huwafungua waliofungwa;
8 Yhwh openeth the eyes of the blind: Yhwh raiseth them that are bowed down: Yhwh loveth the righteous:
Yahwe huyafungua macho ya kipofu; Yahwe huwainua walioinama; Yahwe huwapenda watu wenye haki.
9 Yhwh preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
Yahwe huwalinda wageni katika nchi; huwainua yatima na wajane, bali huipinga njia ya wasio haki.
10 Yhwh shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelu jah.
Yahwe atatawala milele, Mungu wako, Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Yahwe.
