Zaburi 148
1 Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
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 hosts.
3 Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi, msifuni yeye, enyi nyota zote zingʼaazo.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all stars of light.
4 Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens.
5 Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were made.
6 Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
And he fixed them for ever and ever by a law which they dare not transgress.
7 Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
Praise the Lord from the earth: you depths, with your monsters, all.
8 umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
Fire, hail, snow and ice, and stormy wind doing his word.
9 ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
All you mountains and hills, all you fruit trees and cedars,
10 wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
all you wild beasts and tame, creeping things, birds on the wing.
11 wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
All you kings and nations of earth; all you princes and judges of earth:
12 wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
young men and maidens together, old men and children together.
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 name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted. Over heaven and earth is his glory.
14 Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
He has lifted his people to honour. Wherefore this chorus of praise from his saints, from Israel, the people who stand in his fellowship. Hallelujah.
