Zaburi 148
1 Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.
2 Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
Give praise to him, all you his angels: give praise to him, all his armies.
3 Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi, msifuni yeye, enyi nyota zote zingʼaazo.
Give praise to him, you sun and moon: give praise to him, all you stars of light.
4 Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.
5 Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
Let them give praise to the name of the Lord: for he gave the order, and they were made.
6 Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
He has put them in their places for ever; he has given them their limits which may not be broken.
7 Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
Give praise to the Lord from the earth, you great sea-beasts, and deep places:
8 umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
Fire and rain of ice, snow and mists; storm-wind, doing his word:
9 ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
Mountains and all hills; fruit-trees and all trees of the mountains:
10 wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
Beasts and all cattle; insects and winged birds:
11 wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
Kings of the earth, and all peoples; rulers and all judges of the earth:
12 wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
Young men and virgins; 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 give glory to the name of the Lord: for his name only is to be praised: his kingdom is over the earth and the heaven.
14 Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
He has put on high the horn of his people, for the praise of all his saints; even the children of Israel, a people which is near to him. Let the Lord be praised.
