< Psalms 111 >
1 Praise Yahweh! I will thank Yahweh with my entire inner being, every time I am with a large group of godly/righteous people.
Msifuni Bwana. Nitamtukuza Bwana kwa moyo wangu wote, katika baraza la wanyofu na katika kusanyiko.
2 The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.
Kazi za Bwana ni kuu, wote wanaopendezwa nazo huzitafakari.
3 [Because of everything] that he does, people greatly honor him and respect him because he is a great king; the righteous/just things that he does will endure forever.
Kazi zake zimejaa fahari na utukufu, haki yake hudumu daima.
4 He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
Amefanya maajabu yake yakumbukwe, Bwana ni mwenye neema na huruma.
5 He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
Huwapa chakula wale wanaomcha, hulikumbuka agano lake milele.
6 By enabling his people to capture the lands that belonged to other people-groups, he has shown to [us], his people, that he is very powerful.
Amewaonyesha watu wake uwezo wa kazi zake, akiwapa nchi za mataifa mengine.
7 He [MTY] faithfully [does what he has promised] and always does what is just/fair, and we can depend on him [to help us] when he commands us to do things.
Kazi za mikono yake ni za uaminifu na haki, mausia yake yote ni ya kuaminika.
8 What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
Zinadumu milele na milele, zikifanyika kwa uaminifu na unyofu.
9 He rescued [us], his people, [from being slaves in Egypt], and he made an agreement [with us] that will last forever. He [MTY] is holy and awesome!
Aliwapa watu wake ukombozi, aliamuru agano lake milele: jina lake ni takatifu na la kuogopwa.
10 Revering Yahweh is the way to become wise. All those who obey [his commands] will know what is good [for them to decide to do]. We should praise him forever!
Kumcha Bwana ndicho chanzo cha hekima, wote wanaozifuata amri zake wana busara. Sifa zake zadumu milele.
