Zabbuli 148

1 Mutendereze Mukama! Mumutendereze nga musinziira mu ggulu, mumutenderereze mu bifo ebiri waggulu.

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.

2 Mumutendereze mmwe mwenna bamalayika be, mumutendereze mmwe mwenna eggye lye ery’omu ggulu.

Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

3 Mmwe enjuba n’omwezi mutendereze Mukama, nammwe mwenna emmunyeenye ezaaka mumutendereze.

Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars and light.

4 Tendereza Mukama ggwe eggulu eriri waggulu ennyo, naawe amazzi agali waggulu w’eggulu.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.

5 Leka byonna bitendereze erinnya lya Mukama! Kubanga ye yalagira, ne bitondebwa.

Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.

6 Yabinywereza ddala mu bifo byabyo ennaku zonna, n’ateekawo etteeka eritaliggwaawo.

He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.

7 Mumutendereze nga musinziira ku nsi, mmwe balukwata n’ebifo byonna eby’omu buziba bw’ennyanja,

Praise the Lord from the earth, ye serpents, and all deeps.

8 mmwe okumyansa, n’omuzira ogw’amakerenda, n’omuzira ogukutte era n’olufu, naawe kikuŋŋunta, mugondere ekiragiro kye,

Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.

9 mmwe agasozi n’obusozi, emiti egy’ebibala n’emivule;

Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:

10 ensolo ez’omu nsiko era n’ente zonna, ebyewalula n’ebinyonyi ebibuuka,

wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:

11 bakabaka b’ensi n’amawanga gonna, abalangira n’abafuzi bonna ab’ensi,

kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:

12 abavubuka abalenzi n’abawala; abantu abakulu n’abaana abato.

young men and virgins, old men with youths:

13 Bitendereze erinnya lya Mukama, kubanga erinnya lye lyokka lye ligulumizibwa; ekitiibwa kye kisinga byonna eby’omu nsi n’eby’omu ggulu.

let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,

14 Abantu be abawadde amaanyi, era agulumizizza abatukuvu be, be bantu be Isirayiri abakolagana naye. Mutendereze Mukama.

and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
