Zabbuli 148

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

Praise you the LORD. Praise you 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 you him, all his angels: praise you him, all his hosts.

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

Praise you him, sun and moon: praise him, all you stars of light.

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

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters that be 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 has also established them for ever and ever: he has made a decree which shall not pass.

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

Praise the LORD from the earth, you dragons, 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 vapors; 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 flying fowl:

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

Kings of the earth, and all people; 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 excellent; 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.

He also exalts the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise you the LORD.
