< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.
Msifuni Yahwe. Msifuni Yahwe, ninyi mlio katika mbingu; msifuni yeye, ninyi mlio juu.
2 Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise Him, all His hosts.
Msifuni yeye, enyi malaika wake wote; msifuni yeye, majeshi ya malaika wake wote.
3 Praise Him, sun and moon, Praise Him, all stars of light.
Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi; msifuni yeye, nyota zote zing'aazo.
4 Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.
Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu zaidi na maji yaliyo juu ya anga.
5 They praise the Name of YHWH, For He commanded, and they were created.
Na vilisifu jina la Yahwe, maana aliamuru, navyo vikaumbwa.
6 And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.
Pia ameviimrisha milele na milele; naye alitoa amri ambayo haitabadilika.
7 Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons and all deeps,
Msifuni yeye kutoka nchi, ninyi viumbe wa baharini na viumbe vyote katika kina cha bahari,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapor, Whirlwind doing His word;
moto na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, upepo wa dhoruba ukitimiza neno lake.
9 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
Msifuni yeye, enyi milima na vilima, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
10 The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
wanyama pori na wanyama wafugwao, viumbe vitambaavyo na ndege.
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
Msifuni Yahwe, wafalme wa nchi na mataifa yote, wakuu na watawala wote wa nchi,
12 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
wote vijana wa kiume na vijana wa kike, 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.
Na walisifu jina la Yahwe, kwa kuwa jina lake pekee limetukuka na utukufu wake umeongezwa 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!
Naye ameyainua mapembe ya watu wake kwa ajili ya sifa kutoka kwa waaminifu wake wote, Waisraeli, watu wa karibu naye. Msifuni Yahwe.
