Zaburi 146

1 Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.

2 Nitamsifu Bwana maisha yangu yote; nitamwimbia Mungu wangu sifa wakati wote niishipo.

I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3 Usiweke tumaini lako kwa wakuu, kwa wanadamu ambao hufa, ambao hawawezi kuokoa.

Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

4 Roho yao itokapo hurudi mavumbini, siku hiyo hiyo mipango yao yote hukoma.

When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.

5 Heri yeye ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake ni katika Bwana, Mungu wake,

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

6 Muumba wa mbingu na nchi, na bahari na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake: Bwana anayedumu kuwa mwaminifu milele na milele.

the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

7 Naye huwapatia haki walioonewa na kuwapa wenye njaa chakula. Bwana huwaweka wafungwa huru,

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,

8 Bwana huwafumbua vipofu macho, Bwana huwainua waliolemewa na mizigo yao, Bwana huwapenda wenye haki.

the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.

9 Bwana huwalinda wageni na kuwategemeza yatima na wajane, lakini hupinga njia za waovu.

The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.

10 Bwana atamiliki milele, Mungu wako, ee Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Bwana.

The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!
