< Psalms 148 >
1 Praise Yahweh - praise Yahweh from the heavens praise him in the heights.
Dumisani iNkosi! Dumisani iNkosi lisemazulwini, idumiseni endaweni eziphezulu.
2 Praise him O all angels his praise him O all (hosts his. *Q(K)*)
Idumiseni lonke zingilosi zayo. Idumiseni lonke mabandla ayo.
3 Praise him O sun and moon praise him O all [the] stars of light.
Idumiseni langa lenyanga. Idumiseni lonke zinkanyezi ezikhanyayo.
4 Praise him O heaven of the heavens and the waters which - [are] above the heavens.
Idumiseni mazulu amazulu, lani manzi aphezu kwamazulu.
5 Let them praise [the] name of Yahweh for he he commanded and they were created.
Kakudumise ibizo leNkosi; ngoba yona yalaya, kwasekudalwa.
6 And he established them for ever for ever a decree he gave and not it will pass away.
Yakumisa kuze kube nini lanini; yakhupha isimiso esingayikwedlula.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth O sea monsters and all [the] deeps.
Dumisani iNkosi lisemhlabeni, migobho yolwandle, lani zinziki zonke,
8 O fire and hail snow and smoke wind of storm [which] does word his.
mlilo lesiqhotho, liqhwa elikhithikileyo lenkungu, siphepho esenza ilizwi layo;
9 O mountains and all hills tree[s] of fruit and all cedars.
zintaba lamaqaqa wonke, zihlahla zezithelo lemisedari yonke,
10 O animal[s] and all livestock creeping thing[s] and bird[s] of wing.
zinyamazana zeganga lezifuyo zonke, zinto ezihuquzelayo lenyoni eziphaphayo.
11 O kings of [the] earth and all peoples of icials and all rulers of [the] earth.
Makhosi omhlaba, lani zizwe zonke, ziphathamandla, lani babusi bomhlaba,
12 O young men and also young women old [people] with youths.
majaha, lani-ke zintombi, maxhegu labatsha.
13 Let them praise - [the] name of Yahweh for [is] exalted name his to only him splendor his [is] above earth and heaven.
Kabadumise ibizo leNkosi, ngoba ibizo layo lodwa liphakeme; ubukhosi bayo buphezu komhlaba lamazulu.
14 And he has raised up a horn - for people his praise for all faithful [people] his for [the] people of Israel a people kinsmen his praise Yahweh.
Njalo iphakamisile uphondo lwabantu bayo, indumiso yabo bonke abangcwele bayo, eyabantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu abaseduze layo. Dumisani iNkosi!
