Zabbuli 148
1 Mutendereze Mukama! Mumutendereze nga musinziira mu ggulu, mumutenderereze mu bifo ebiri waggulu.
Praise 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 him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts.
3 Mmwe enjuba n’omwezi mutendereze Mukama, nammwe mwenna emmunyeenye ezaaka mumutendereze.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.
4 Tendereza Mukama ggwe eggulu eriri waggulu ennyo, naawe amazzi agali waggulu w’eggulu.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.
5 Leka byonna bitendereze erinnya lya Mukama! Kubanga ye yalagira, ne bitondebwa.
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.
6 Yabinywereza ddala mu bifo byabyo ennaku zonna, n’ateekawo etteeka eritaliggwaawo.
And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
7 Mumutendereze nga musinziira ku nsi, mmwe balukwata n’ebifo byonna eby’omu buziba bw’ennyanja,
Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
8 mmwe okumyansa, n’omuzira ogw’amakerenda, n’omuzira ogukutte era n’olufu, naawe kikuŋŋunta, mugondere ekiragiro kye,
Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
9 mmwe agasozi n’obusozi, emiti egy’ebibala n’emivule;
All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
10 ensolo ez’omu nsiko era n’ente zonna, ebyewalula n’ebinyonyi ebibuuka,
all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
11 bakabaka b’ensi n’amawanga gonna, abalangira n’abafuzi bonna ab’ensi,
All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
12 abavubuka abalenzi n’abawala; abantu abakulu n’abaana abato.
young men and maidens together, old men and children together.
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. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
14 Abantu be abawadde amaanyi, era agulumizizza abatukuvu be, be bantu be Isirayiri abakolagana naye. Mutendereze Mukama.
He has lifted his people to honour. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
