2 Mshukuruni Mungu wa miungu.
Give thanks to the God of gods; for his loving kindness endures forever.
3 Mshukuruni Bwana wa mabwana:
Give thanks to the Lord of lords; for his loving kindness endures forever:
4 Kwake yeye pekee atendaye maajabu makuu,
To him who alone does great wonders; for his loving kindness endures forever:
5 Ambaye kwa ufahamu wake aliziumba mbingu,
To him who by understanding made the heavens; for his loving kindness endures forever:
6 Ambaye aliitandaza dunia juu ya maji,
To him who spread out the earth above the waters; for his loving kindness endures forever:
7 Ambaye aliumba mianga mikubwa,
To him who made the great lights; for his loving kindness endures forever:
The sun to rule by day; for his loving kindness endures forever;
9 Mwezi na nyota vitawale usiku,
The moon and stars to rule by night; for his loving kindness endures forever:
10 Kwake yeye aliyemuua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Misri,
To him who struck down the Egyptian firstborn; for his loving kindness endures forever;
11 Na kuwatoa Israeli katikati yao,
And brought out Israel from among them; for his loving kindness endures forever;
12 Kwa mkono wenye nguvu ulionyooshwa,
With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm; for his loving kindness endures forever:
13 Kwake yeye aliyeigawa Bahari ya Shamu,
To him who divided the Red Sea apart; for his loving kindness endures forever;
14 Na kuwapitisha Israeli katikati yake,
And made Israel to pass through its midst; for his loving kindness endures forever;
15 Lakini alimfagia Farao na jeshi lake katika Bahari ya Shamu,
But shook off Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea; for his loving kindness endures forever:
16 Kwake yeye aliyewaongoza watu wake katika jangwa,
To him who led his people through the wilderness; for his loving kindness endures forever:
17 Ambaye aliwapiga wafalme wenye nguvu,
To him who struck great kings; for his loving kindness endures forever;
18 Naye aliwaua wafalme wenye nguvu,
And killed mighty kings; for his loving kindness endures forever:
19 Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori,
Sihon king of the Amorites; for his loving kindness endures forever;
20 Ogu mfalme wa Bashani,
Og king of Bashan; for his loving kindness endures forever;
21 Akatoa nchi yao kuwa urithi,
And gave their land as an inheritance; for his loving kindness endures forever;
22 Urithi kwa Israeli mtumishi wake,
Even a heritage to Israel his servant; for his loving kindness endures forever:
23 Aliyetukumbuka katika unyonge wetu,
Who remembered us in our low estate; for his loving kindness endures forever;
24 Alituweka huru toka adui zetu,
And has delivered us from our adversaries; for his loving kindness endures forever:
25 Ambaye humpa chakula kila kiumbe.
Who gives food to every creature; for his loving kindness endures forever.
26 Mshukuruni Mungu wa mbinguni,
Oh give thanks to the God of heaven; for his loving kindness endures forever.
