< Zabbuli 148 >
1 Mutendereze Mukama! Mumutendereze nga musinziira mu ggulu, mumutenderereze mu bifo ebiri waggulu.
Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
2 Mumutendereze mmwe mwenna bamalayika be, mumutendereze mmwe mwenna eggye lye ery’omu ggulu.
Praise ye Him, all His messengers, 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 ye Him, all stars of light.
4 Tendereza Mukama ggwe eggulu eriri waggulu ennyo, naawe amazzi agali waggulu w’eggulu.
Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Leka byonna bitendereze erinnya lya Mukama! Kubanga ye yalagira, ne bitondebwa.
They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
6 Yabinywereza ddala mu bifo byabyo ennaku zonna, n’ateekawo etteeka eritaliggwaawo.
And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
7 Mumutendereze nga musinziira ku nsi, mmwe balukwata n’ebifo byonna eby’omu buziba bw’ennyanja,
Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, 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 vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
9 mmwe agasozi n’obusozi, emiti egy’ebibala n’emivule;
The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
10 ensolo ez’omu nsiko era n’ente zonna, ebyewalula n’ebinyonyi ebibuuka,
The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
11 bakabaka b’ensi n’amawanga gonna, abalangira n’abafuzi bonna ab’ensi,
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
12 abavubuka abalenzi n’abawala; abantu abakulu n’abaana abato.
Young men, and also maidens, Aged 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.
They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens.
14 Abantu be abawadde amaanyi, era agulumizizza abatukuvu be, be bantu be Isirayiri abakolagana naye. Mutendereze Mukama.
And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
