< Zaburi 148 >
1 Msifuni Bwana. Msifuni Bwana kutoka mbinguni, msifuni juu vileleni.
Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
2 Msifuni, enyi malaika wake wote, msifuni yeye, enyi jeshi lake lote la mbinguni.
Praise ye Him, all His messengers, 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 ye Him, all stars of light.
4 Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu sana, na ninyi maji juu ya anga.
Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Vilisifu jina la Bwana kwa maana aliamuru navyo vikaumbwa.
They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
6 Aliviweka mahali pake milele na milele, alitoa amri ambayo haibadiliki milele.
And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
7 Mtukuzeni Bwana kutoka duniani, ninyi viumbe vikubwa vya baharini na vilindi vyote vya bahari,
Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, 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 vapour, Whirlwind doing His word;
9 ninyi milima na vilima vyote, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,
10 wanyama wa mwituni na mifugo yote, viumbe vidogo na ndege warukao,
The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and winged bird,
11 wafalme wa dunia na mataifa yote, ninyi wakuu na watawala wote wa dunia,
Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,
12 wanaume vijana na wanawali, wazee na watoto.
Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths,
13 Wote na walisifu jina la Bwana, kwa maana jina lake pekee limetukuka, utukufu wake uko juu ya nchi na mbingu.
They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens.
14 Amewainulia watu wake pembe, sifa ya watakatifu wake wote, ya Israeli, watu walio karibu na moyo wake. Msifuni Bwana.
And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
