< Zaburi 148 >
1 Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the LORD from the heavens: praise him in the hights.
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, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that [are] above the heavens.
5 Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
He hath also established them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
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 deeps:
8 umeme wa radi na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, pepo za dhoruba zinazofanya amri zake,
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling 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; creeping animals, and flying fowl:
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.
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 name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.
14 Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; [even] of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise ye the LORD.
