Zaburi 146

1 Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.

Praise the Lord! With my whole being I praise the Lord!

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

I will praise the Lord while I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have breath.

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

Don't put your confidence in human leaders—they cannot save you.

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

Once they breathe no more, they go back to dust. On that very day everything they planned dies with them.

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

Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them—their hope is in the Lord their God—

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

the one who made heaven and earth, and the sea along with everything it contains. He is trustworthy forever.

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

He makes sure the oppressed receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.

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

The Lord makes the blind see. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down. The Lord loves those who do what is right.

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

The Lord takes care of strangers among us. He looks after widows and orphans. But he makes life difficult for the wicked.

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

The Lord will reign forever. Zion, he will be your God for all generations. Praise the Lord!
