< Zaburi 136 >
1 Mshukuruni Bwana, kwa kuwa ni mwema.
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good.
2 Mshukuruni Mungu wa miungu.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
3 Mshukuruni Bwana wa mabwana:
Give thanks to the Lord of lords.
4 Kwake yeye pekee atendaye maajabu makuu,
He alone does great wonders.
5 Ambaye kwa ufahamu wake aliziumba mbingu,
By His insight He made the heavens.
6 Ambaye aliitandaza dunia juu ya maji,
He spread out the earth upon the waters.
7 Ambaye aliumba mianga mikubwa,
He made the great lights—
9 Mwezi na nyota vitawale usiku,
the moon and stars to govern the night.
10 Kwake yeye aliyemuua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Misri,
He struck down the firstborn of Egypt
11 Na kuwatoa Israeli katikati yao,
and brought Israel out from among them
12 Kwa mkono wenye nguvu ulionyooshwa,
with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.
13 Kwake yeye aliyeigawa Bahari ya Shamu,
He divided the Red Sea in two
14 Na kuwapitisha Israeli katikati yake,
and led Israel through the midst,
15 Lakini alimfagia Farao na jeshi lake katika Bahari ya Shamu,
but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.
16 Kwake yeye aliyewaongoza watu wake katika jangwa,
He led His people through the wilderness.
17 Ambaye aliwapiga wafalme wenye nguvu,
He struck down great kings
18 Naye aliwaua wafalme wenye nguvu,
and slaughtered mighty kings—
19 Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori,
Sihon king of the Amorites
20 Ogu mfalme wa Bashani,
and Og king of Bashan—
21 Akatoa nchi yao kuwa urithi,
and He gave their land as an inheritance,
22 Urithi kwa Israeli mtumishi wake,
a heritage to His servant Israel.
23 Aliyetukumbuka katika unyonge wetu,
He remembered us in our low estate
24 Alituweka huru toka adui zetu,
and freed us from our enemies.
25 Ambaye humpa chakula kila kiumbe.
He gives food to every creature.
26 Mshukuruni Mungu wa mbinguni,
Give thanks to the God of heaven!
