Zaburi 111
1 Msifuni Yahwe. Nitamshukuru Yahwe kwa moyo wangu wote katikati ya kusanyiko la wanye haki, na katika mkutano.
Praise Yahweh! I will thank Yahweh with my entire inner being, every time I am with a large group of godly/righteous people.
2 Kazi za Yahwe ni kuu, zikisubiriwa na wale wazitamanio.
The things that Yahweh has done are wonderful! All those who are delighted/pleased with those things desire to (study/think about) them.
3 Kazi yake ni adhama na utukufu, na haki yake yadumu milele.
[Because of everything] that he does, people greatly honor him and respect him because he is a great king; the righteous/just things that he does will endure forever.
4 Hufanya mambo makuu ambayo yatakumbukwa; Yahwe ni mwenye huruma na neema.
He has [appointed/established festivals in which] we remember the wonderful things that he has done; Yahweh [always] is kind and merciful.
5 Huwapa chakula wafuasi wake waaminifu. Siku zote atalikumbuka agano lake.
He provides food for those who revere him; he never forgets the agreement that he made [with our ancestors].
6 Alionesha uweza wa kazi zake kwa watu wake kwa kuwapa urithi wa mataifa.
By enabling his people to capture the lands that belonged to other people-groups, he has shown to [us], his people, that he is very powerful.
7 Kazi za mikono yake ni za kuaminika na haki; maagizo yake yote ni ya kuaminika.
He [MTY] faithfully [does what he has promised] and always does what is just/fair, and we can depend on him [to help us] when he commands us to do things.
8 Yamethibitika milele, yamefanywa katika uaminifu na vizuri.
What he commands must be obeyed forever; and he acted in a true and righteous manner when he gave us those commands.
9 Aliwapa ushindi watu wake; aliliteuwa agano lake milele; jina lake ni takatifu na lakutisha.
He rescued [us], his people, [from being slaves in Egypt], and he made an agreement [with us] that will last forever. He [MTY] is holy and awesome!
10 Kumcha Yahwe ni mwanzo wa hekima; wale washikao maagizo yake wana uelewa mzuri. Sifa yake yadumu milele.
Revering Yahweh is the way to become wise. All those who obey [his commands] will know what is good [for them to decide to do]. We should praise him forever!
