< Psalms 148 >
1 Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.
Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi, msifuni yeye, enyi nyota zote zingʼaazo.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are 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 And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.
Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
8 Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;
umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
9 Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;
ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
10 Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;
wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
11 Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;
wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
12 Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —
wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above 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 exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.
Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
