Zaburi 146

1 Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

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

Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

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

Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

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

Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

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

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

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

Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
