Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah. Praise, O my soul, the Lord.

Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

2 I will praise the Lord throughout my life: 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, in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

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

4 When his spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his [native] earth: on that very day perish his thoughts.

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

5 [But] happy is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is on the Lord his God;

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

6 Who hath made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

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

7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed: who giveth bread to the hungry: the Lord looseneth the prisoners;

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

8 The Lord causeth the blind to see; the Lord raiseth up those who are bowed down; the Lord loveth the righteous:

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

9 The Lord guardeth the strangers; the fatherless and widow he helpeth up; but the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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

10 The Lord will reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Hallelujah.

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