< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.
Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
2 Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise Him, all His hosts.
Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
3 Praise Him, sun and moon, Praise Him, all stars of light.
Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi, msifuni yeye, enyi nyota zote zingʼaazo.
4 Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.
Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
5 They praise the Name of YHWH, For He commanded, and they were created.
Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
6 And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.
Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
7 Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor, Whirlwind doing His word;
umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
10 The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
13 They praise the Name of YHWH, For His Name alone has been set on high, His splendor [is] above earth and heavens.
Wote na walisifu jina la Bwana, kwa maana jina lake pekee limetukuka, utukufu wake uko juu ya nchi na mbingu.
14 And He exalts the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, A people near Him. Praise YAH!
Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
