Psalms 148
1 Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
Msifuni Yahwe. Msifuni Yahwe, ninyi mlio katika mbingu; msifuni yeye, ninyi mlio juu.
2 Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
Msifuni yeye, enyi malaika wake wote; msifuni yeye, majeshi ya malaika wake wote.
3 Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi; msifuni yeye, nyota zote zing'aazo.
4 Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu zaidi na maji yaliyo juu ya anga.
5 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
Na vilisifu jina la Yahwe, maana aliamuru, navyo vikaumbwa.
6 He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
Pia ameviimrisha milele na milele; naye alitoa amri ambayo haitabadilika.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
Msifuni yeye kutoka nchi, ninyi viumbe wa baharini na viumbe vyote katika kina cha bahari,
8 lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
moto na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, upepo wa dhoruba ukitimiza neno lake.
9 mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
Msifuni yeye, enyi milima na vilima, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
10 wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
wanyama pori na wanyama wafugwao, viumbe vitambaavyo na ndege.
11 kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
Msifuni Yahwe, wafalme wa nchi na mataifa yote, wakuu na watawala wote wa nchi,
12 both young men and maidens, old men and children.
wote vijana wa kiume na vijana wa kike, wazee na watoto.
13 Let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
Na walisifu jina la Yahwe, kwa kuwa jina lake pekee limetukuka na utukufu wake umeongezwa juu ya nchi na mbingu.
14 He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
Naye ameyainua mapembe ya watu wake kwa ajili ya sifa kutoka kwa waaminifu wake wote, Waisraeli, watu wa karibu naye. Msifuni Yahwe.
