Zaburi 146

1 Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

Praise YAH! Praise, O my soul, YHWH.

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

I praise YHWH during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

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

Do not trust in princes—in a son of man, For he has no deliverance.

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

His spirit goes forth, he returns to his earth, In that day his thoughts have perished.

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

O the blessedness of him Who has the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on his God YHWH,

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

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth for all time,

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

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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

YHWH is loosing the prisoners, YHWH is opening (the eyes of) the blind, YHWH is raising the bowed down, YHWH is loving the righteous,

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

YHWH is preserving the strangers, He causes the fatherless and widow to stand, And He turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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

YHWH reigns for all time, Your God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise YAH!
