Zaburi 146

1 Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.

Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. My soul, praise the Lord.

2 Ninamsifu Mungu maisha yangu yote; nitamuimbia sifa Mungu wangu ni ngali ni hai.

While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

3 Msiweke imani katika wakuu au wanadamu, ambaye katika yeye hamna wokovu.

Trust not in princes, nor in the children of men, in whom there is no safety.

4 Wakati uhai wa pumzi ya mtu unapokoma, hurudi aridhini; siku hiyo mipango yake hufikia mwisho.

His breath shall go forth, and he shall return to his earth; in that day all his thoughts shall perish.

5 Amebarikiwa yule ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake liko katika Yahwe Mungu wake.

Blessed is he whose helper is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Yahwe aliumba mbingu na nchi, bahari, na vyote vilivyomo; huitazama kweli milele.

who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all things in them: who keeps truth for ever:

7 Yeye hutekeleza hukumu kwa ajili ya walioonewa na huwapa chakula wenye njaa. Yahwe huwafungua waliofungwa;

who executes judgement for the wronged: who gives food to the hungry. The Lord looses the fettered ones:

8 Yahwe huyafungua macho ya kipofu; Yahwe huwainua walioinama; Yahwe huwapenda watu wenye haki.

the Lord gives wisdom to the blind: The Lord sets up the broken down: the Lord loves the righteous: the Lord preserves the strangers;

9 Yahwe huwalinda wageni katika nchi; huwainua yatima na wajane, bali huipinga njia ya wasio haki.

he will relieve the orphan and widow: but will utterly remove the way of sinners.

10 Yahwe atatawala milele, Mungu wako, Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Yahwe.

The Lord shall reign for ever, [even] your God, O Sion, to all generations.
