< Psalms 146 >

1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.
Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.
2 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.
Ninamsifu Mungu maisha yangu yote; nitamuimbia sifa Mungu wangu ni ngali ni hai.
3 Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.
Msiweke imani katika wakuu au wanadamu, ambaye katika yeye hamna wokovu.
4 His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.
Wakati uhai wa pumzi ya mtu unapokoma, hurudi aridhini; siku hiyo mipango yake hufikia mwisho.
5 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,
Amebarikiwa yule ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake liko katika Yahwe Mungu wake.
6 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,
Yahwe aliumba mbingu na nchi, bahari, na vyote vilivyomo; huitazama kweli milele.
7 Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.
Yeye hutekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya walioonewa na huwapa chakula wenye njaa. Yahwe huwafungua waliofungwa;
8 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,
Yahwe huyafungua macho ya kipofu; Yahwe huwainua walioinama; Yahwe huwapenda watu wenye haki.
9 Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.
Yahwe huwalinda wageni katika nchi; huwainua yatima na wajane, bali huipinga njia ya wasio haki.
10 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
Yahwe atatawala milele, Mungu wako, Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Yahwe.
