Psalms 136

1 Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good; for his loving kindness endures forever.

Mshukuruni Bwana, kwa kuwa ni mwema.

2 Give thanks to the God of gods; for his loving kindness endures forever.

Mshukuruni Mungu wa miungu.

3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Mshukuruni Bwana wa mabwana:

4 To him who alone does great wonders; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Kwake yeye pekee atendaye maajabu makuu,

5 To him who by understanding made the heavens; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Ambaye kwa ufahamu wake aliziumba mbingu,

6 To him who spread out the earth above the waters; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Ambaye aliitandaza dunia juu ya maji,

7 To him who made the great lights; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Ambaye aliumba mianga mikubwa,

8 The sun to rule by day; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Jua litawale mchana,

9 The moon and stars to rule by night; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Mwezi na nyota vitawale usiku,

10 To him who struck down the Egyptian firstborn; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Kwake yeye aliyemuua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Misri,

11 And brought out Israel from among them; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Na kuwatoa Israeli katikati yao,

12 With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Kwa mkono wenye nguvu ulionyooshwa,

13 To him who divided the Red Sea apart; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Kwake yeye aliyeigawa Bahari ya Shamu,

14 And made Israel to pass through its midst; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Na kuwapitisha Israeli katikati yake,

15 But shook off Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Lakini alimfagia Farao na jeshi lake katika Bahari ya Shamu,

16 To him who led his people through the wilderness; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Kwake yeye aliyewaongoza watu wake katika jangwa,

17 To him who struck great kings; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Ambaye aliwapiga wafalme wenye nguvu,

18 And killed mighty kings; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Naye aliwaua wafalme wenye nguvu,

19 Sihon king of the Amorites; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori,

20 Og king of Bashan; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Ogu mfalme wa Bashani,

21 And gave their land as an inheritance; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Akatoa nchi yao kuwa urithi,

22 Even a heritage to Israel his servant; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Urithi kwa Israeli mtumishi wake,

23 Who remembered us in our low estate; for his loving kindness endures forever;

Aliyetukumbuka katika unyonge wetu,

24 And has delivered us from our adversaries; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Alituweka huru toka adui zetu,

25 Who gives food to every creature; for his loving kindness endures forever.

Ambaye humpa chakula kila kiumbe.

26 Oh give thanks to the God of heaven; for his loving kindness endures forever.

Mshukuruni Mungu wa mbinguni,
