Zaburi 146

1 Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.

Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah, O my soul.

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

As long as I live will I praise Jehovah; I will sing psalms unto my God while I have my being.

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

Put not confidence in nobles, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

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

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his purposes perish.

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

Blessed is he who hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Jehovah his God,

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

Who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is therein; who keepeth truth for ever;

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

Who executeth judgment for the oppressed, who giveth bread to the hungry. Jehovah looseth the prisoners;

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

Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;

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

Jehovah preserveth the strangers; he lifteth up the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked doth he subvert.

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

Jehovah will reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah!
