< Psalms 146 >
1 Praise JAH. Praise YHWH, my soul.
Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.
2 While I live, I will praise YHWH. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.
Ninamsifu Mungu maisha yangu yote; nitamuimbia sifa Mungu wangu ni ngali ni hai.
3 Do not put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help.
Msiweke imani katika wakuu au wanadamu, ambaye katika yeye hamna wokovu.
4 His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish.
Wakati uhai wa pumzi ya mtu unapokoma, hurudi aridhini; siku hiyo mipango yake hufikia mwisho.
5 Blessed is the one who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in YHWH his God,
Amebarikiwa yule ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake liko katika Yahwe Mungu wake.
6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;
Yahwe aliumba mbingu na nchi, bahari, na vyote vilivyomo; huitazama kweli milele.
7 who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. YHWH frees the prisoners.
Yeye hutekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya walioonewa na huwapa chakula wenye njaa. Yahwe huwafungua waliofungwa;
8 YHWH opens the eyes of the blind. YHWH raises up those who are bowed down. YHWH loves the righteous.
Yahwe huyafungua macho ya kipofu; Yahwe huwainua walioinama; Yahwe huwapenda watu wenye haki.
9 YHWH preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
Yahwe huwalinda wageni katika nchi; huwainua yatima na wajane, bali huipinga njia ya wasio haki.
10 YHWH will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise JAH.
Yahwe atatawala milele, Mungu wako, Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Yahwe.
