Zaburi 147
1 Msifuni Bwana. Tazama jinsi ilivyo vyema kumwimbia Mungu wetu sifa, jinsi inavyopendeza na kustahili kumsifu yeye!
Praise YAH! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant—lovely [is] praise.
2 Bwana hujenga Yerusalemu, huwakusanya Israeli walio uhamishoni.
YHWH [is] building Jerusalem, He gathers the driven away of Israel.
3 Anawaponya waliovunjika mioyo na kuvifunga vidonda vyao.
Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
4 Huzihesabu nyota na huipa kila moja jina lake.
Appointing the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them.
5 Bwana wetu ni mkuu na mwenye uwezo mwingi, ufahamu wake hauna kikomo.
Our Lord [is] great, and abundant in power, There is no narration of His understanding.
6 Bwana huwahifadhi wanyenyekevu lakini huwashusha waovu mpaka mavumbini.
YHWH is causing the meek to stand, Making the wicked low to the earth.
7 Mwimbieni Bwana kwa shukrani, mpigieni Mungu wetu kinubi.
Answer to YHWH with thanksgiving, Sing to our God with a harp.
8 Yeye huzifunika anga kwa mawingu, huinyeshea ardhi mvua, na kuzifanya nyasi kuota juu ya vilima.
Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing rain for the earth, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
9 Huwapa chakula mifugo na pia makinda ya kunguru yanapolia.
Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
10 Furaha yake haipo katika nguvu za farasi, wala furaha yake kwenye miguu ya mwanadamu.
He does not delight in the might of the horse, He is not pleased in the legs of a man.
11 Bwana hupendezwa na wale wamchao, wale wanaoweka tumaini lao katika upendo wake usiokoma.
YHWH is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
12 Mtukuze Bwana, ee Yerusalemu, msifu Mungu wako, ee Sayuni,
Glorify, O Jerusalem, YHWH, Praise your God, O Zion.
13 kwa maana huimarisha makomeo ya malango yako na huwabariki watu wako walio ndani yako.
For He strengthened the bars of your gates, He has blessed your sons in your midst.
14 Huwapa amani mipakani mwenu na kukushibisha kwa ngano safi kabisa.
Who is making your border peace, He satisfies you [with] the fat of wheat.
15 Hutuma amri yake duniani, neno lake hukimbia kasi.
Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, His word runs very speedily.
16 Anatandaza theluji kama sufu na kutawanya umande kama majivu.
Who is giving snow like wool, He scatters hoarfrost as ashes.
17 Huvurumisha mvua yake ya mawe kama changarawe. Ni nani awezaye kustahimili ukali wa baridi yake?
Casting forth His ice like morsels, Who stands before His cold?
18 Hutuma neno lake na kuviyeyusha, huvumisha upepo wake, nayo maji hutiririka.
He sends forth His word and melts them, He causes His wind to blow—the waters flow.
19 Amemfunulia Yakobo neno lake, sheria zake na maagizo yake kwa Israeli.
Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
20 Hajafanya hivyo kwa taifa lingine lolote, hawazijui sheria zake. Msifuni Bwana.
He has not done so to any nation, As for judgments, they have not known them. Praise YAH!
