Zabbuli 148
1 Mutendereze Mukama! Mumutendereze nga musinziira mu ggulu, mumutenderereze mu bifo ebiri waggulu.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
2 Mumutendereze mmwe mwenna bamalayika be, mumutendereze mmwe mwenna eggye lye ery’omu ggulu.
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
3 Mmwe enjuba n’omwezi mutendereze Mukama, nammwe mwenna emmunyeenye ezaaka mumutendereze.
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Tendereza Mukama ggwe eggulu eriri waggulu ennyo, naawe amazzi agali waggulu w’eggulu.
Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
5 Leka byonna bitendereze erinnya lya Mukama! Kubanga ye yalagira, ne bitondebwa.
Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
6 Yabinywereza ddala mu bifo byabyo ennaku zonna, n’ateekawo etteeka eritaliggwaawo.
He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
7 Mumutendereze nga musinziira ku nsi, mmwe balukwata n’ebifo byonna eby’omu buziba bw’ennyanja,
Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
8 mmwe okumyansa, n’omuzira ogw’amakerenda, n’omuzira ogukutte era n’olufu, naawe kikuŋŋunta, mugondere ekiragiro kye,
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
9 mmwe agasozi n’obusozi, emiti egy’ebibala n’emivule;
Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
10 ensolo ez’omu nsiko era n’ente zonna, ebyewalula n’ebinyonyi ebibuuka,
wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
11 bakabaka b’ensi n’amawanga gonna, abalangira n’abafuzi bonna ab’ensi,
earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
12 abavubuka abalenzi n’abawala; abantu abakulu n’abaana abato.
young men and women, old people and children—
13 Bitendereze erinnya lya Mukama, kubanga erinnya lye lyokka lye ligulumizibwa; ekitiibwa kye kisinga byonna eby’omu nsi n’eby’omu ggulu.
Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
14 Abantu be abawadde amaanyi, era agulumizizza abatukuvu be, be bantu be Isirayiri abakolagana naye. Mutendereze Mukama.
He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
