Zaburi 148
1 Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!
2 Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!
3 Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi, msifuni yeye, enyi nyota zote zingʼaazo.
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
Praise him, you heavens of heavens, you waters that are above the heavens.
5 Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
Let them praise the LORD’s name, for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.
7 Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
Praise the LORD from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths,
8 umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind, fulfilling his word,
9 ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
wild animals and all livestock, small creatures and flying birds,
11 wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth,
12 wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
both young men and maidens, old men and children.
13 Wote na walisifu jina la Bwana, kwa maana jina lake pekee limetukuka, utukufu wake uko juu ya nchi na mbingu.
Let them praise the LORD’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.
14 Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise the LORD!
