< Mapisarema 148 >
1 Rumbidzai Jehovha. Rumbidzai Jehovha kubva kumatenga, murumbidzei panzvimbo dzokumusoro-soro.
Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights;
2 Murumbidzei, imi vatumwa vake vose, murumbidzei, imi hondo dzake dzose dzokudenga.
Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;
3 Murumbidzei, imi zuva nomwedzi, murumbidzei, imi nyeredzi dzose dzinopenya.
Praise him, sun and moon, Praise him, all ye stars of light;
4 Murumbidzei, imi matenga ari kumusoro-soro, nemi mvura zhinji iri pamusoro pamatenga.
Praise him, O ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens;
5 Ngazvirumbidze zita raJehovha, nokuti akarayira, izvo zvikasikwa.
Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;
6 Akazviisa panzvimbo yazvo nokusingaperi-peri, akapa chirevo chisingazombopfuuri.
So caused he them to stand perpetually—age-abidingly, A decree, hath he given, and it passeth not beyond.
7 Rumbidzai Jehovha imi nyika, imi zvisikwa zvikuru zvegungwa nokwakadzika kwenyanza,
Praise Yahweh, out of the earth, sea monsters, and all resounding deeps;
8 nemi mheni nechimvuramabwe, chando namakore, dutu remhepo rinoita zvaakareva,
Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling his word;
9 imi makomo nemi zvikomo zvose, miti inobereka nemisidhari yose,
Ye mountains, and all hills, fruit trees, and all cedars;
10 mhuka dzesango nemombe dzose, zvisikwa zvidiki neshiri dzinobhururuka,
Thou wild-beast, and all ye cattle, crawling creature, and bird of wing;
11 Madzimambo enyika nendudzi dzose, imi machinda nemi vatongi vose panyika,
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Rulers, and all judges of earth;
12 majaya nemhandara, vatana navana.
Young men, yea even virgins, elders, and children.
13 Ngavarumbidze zita raJehovha, nokuti zita rake iye oga iguru; kubwinya kwake kuri pamusoro penyika namatenga.
Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for lofty is his Name alone, His splendour is over earth and heavens.
14 Akasimudzira vanhu vake runyanga, iyo rumbidzo yavatsvene vake vose, yaIsraeri, vanhu vari pedyo nomwoyo wake. Rumbidzai Jehovha.
Therefore hath he exalted a horn for his people, a praise for all his men of lovingkindness, for the sons of Israel—a people near him, Praise ye Yah!
