Psalms 135
1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord;
Msifuni Bwana. Lisifuni jina la Bwana, msifuni, enyi watumishi wa Bwana,
2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
ninyi ambao mnatumika ndani ya nyumba ya Bwana, katika nyua za nyumba ya Mungu wetu.
3 Hallelujah; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is lovely.
Msifuni Bwana, kwa kuwa Bwana ni mwema, liimbieni sifa jina lake, kwa maana hilo lapendeza.
4 For Jacob hath the Lord chosen unto himself, Israel, as his peculiar treasure.
Kwa maana Bwana amemchagua Yakobo kuwa wake mwenyewe, Israeli kuwa mali yake ya thamani.
5 For I well know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
Ninajua ya kuwa Bwana ni mkuu, kwamba Bwana wetu ni mkuu kuliko miungu yote.
6 Whatsoever the Lord willeth, hath he done in the heavens, and on the earth, in the seas, and in all the deeps.
Bwana hufanya lolote apendalo, mbinguni na duniani, katika bahari na vilindi vyake vyote.
7 He causeth clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with the rain; he bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries.
Hufanya mawingu kupanda kutoka miisho ya dunia; hupeleka umeme wa radi pamoja na mvua na huleta upepo kutoka ghala zake.
8 [He it is] who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and of cattle;
Alimuua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Misri, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa wanadamu na wanyama.
9 Who sent signs and wonderful tokens into the midst of thee, O Egypt, against Pharaoh, and against all his servants;
Alipeleka ishara zake na maajabu katikati yako, ee Misri, dhidi ya Farao na watumishi wake wote.
10 Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;
Aliyapiga mataifa mengi, na akaua wafalme wenye nguvu:
11 Sichon the king of the Emorites, and 'Og the king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
Mfalme Sihoni na Waamori, Ogu mfalme wa Bashani na wafalme wote wa Kanaani:
12 And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people.
akatoa nchi yao kuwa urithi, urithi kwa watu wake Israeli.
13 O Lord, thy name [endureth] for ever: O Lord, thy memorial is throughout all generations.
Ee Bwana, jina lako ladumu milele, kumbukumbu za fahari zako, Ee Bwana, kwa vizazi vyote.
14 For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and concerning his servants will he bethink himself.
Maana Bwana atawathibitisha watu wake, na kuwahurumia watumishi wake.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of the hands of men.
Sanamu za mataifa ni fedha na dhahabu, zilizotengenezwa kwa mikono ya wanadamu.
16 Mouths they have, but they speak not; eyes they have, but they see not;
Zina vinywa, lakini haziwezi kusema, zina macho, lakini haziwezi kuona;
17 Ears they have, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.
zina masikio, lakini haziwezi kusikia, wala hakuna pumzi katika vinywa vyao.
18 Like them are those that make them, every one that trusteth in them.
Wale wanaozitengeneza watafanana nazo, vivyo hivyo wale wote wanaozitumainia.
19 O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord.
Ee nyumba ya Israeli, msifuni Bwana; ee nyumba ya Aroni, msifuni Bwana;
20 O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
ee nyumba ya Lawi, msifuni Bwana; ninyi mnaomcha, msifuni Bwana.
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, even he that resideth at Jerusalem. Hallelujah.
Msifuni Bwana kutoka Sayuni, msifuni yeye aishiye Yerusalemu. Msifuni Bwana.
