Zaburi 146

1 Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

Praise ye Yah, Praise, O my soul, Yahweh.

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

I will praise Yahweh while I live! I will make melody to my God while I continue!

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

Do not ye trust in nobles, in a son of man who hath no deliverance:

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

His spirit, goeth forth, he returneth to his ground, 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,

How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh 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 faithfulness to times age-abiding:

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

Who executeth justice for the oppressed, who giveth food to the famishing, Yahweh, who liberateth prisoners;

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

Yahweh, who opened [the eyes of] the blind, Yahweh, who raiseth the prostrate, Yahweh, who loveth the righteous;

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

Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth, —but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.

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

Yahweh, will reign, to times age-abiding, Thy God, O Zion, to generation after generation. Praise ye Yah!
