< Zaburi 148 >
1 Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.
2 Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi, msifuni yeye, enyi nyota zote zingʼaazo.
Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
4 Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens
5 Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
Praise the name of the Lord. For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
6 Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
7 Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
8 umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds which fulfill his word:
9 ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
10 wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
11 wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
12 wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord:
13 Wote na walisifu jina la Bwana, kwa maana jina lake pekee limetukuka, utukufu wake uko juu ya nchi na mbingu.
For his name alone is exalted.
14 Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people. A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
