Zaburi 146

1 Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

Praise all of you the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

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

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

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

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

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

His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

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

Happy is he that has the God of Jacob for his help, 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.

Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keeps truth for ever:

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

Which executes judgment for the oppressed: which gives food to the hungry. The LORD looses the prisoners:

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 raises them that are bowed down: the LORD loves the righteous:

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

The LORD perserves the strangers; he relieves the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turns upside down.

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

The LORD shall reign for ever, even your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise all of you the LORD.
