Psalms 148
1 Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;
Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
2 Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;
Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
3 Praise 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, O 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 Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;
Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
6 So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.
Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
7 Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;
Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
9 Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;
ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
10 Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;
wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
11 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;
wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
12 Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.
wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
13 Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.
Wote na walisifu jina la Bwana, kwa maana jina lake pekee limetukuka, utukufu wake uko juu ya nchi na mbingu.
14 Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
