Zabbuli 148

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

Hallelujah. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.

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 ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light.

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

Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are 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 commanded, and they were created.

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

He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed.

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

Praise the LORD from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

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

Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling 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,

Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

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.

Both young men and maidens, old men 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 praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory 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 hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah.
