Zaburi 146

1 Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.

Praise ye the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul!

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

I will praise the LORD, as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God, while I have my being.

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

Put not your trust in princes, In the son of man, in whom is no help!

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

His breath goeth forth; he returneth to the dust; In that very day his plans perish.

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

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help; 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 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 food to the hungry. The LORD setteth free the prisoners;

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

The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind; The LORD raiseth up them that are bowed down; The LORD loveth the righteous.

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

The LORD preserveth the strangers; He relieveth the fatherless and the widow; But the way of the wicked he maketh crooked.

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

The LORD shall reign for ever; Thy God, O Zion! to all generations! Praise ye the LORD!
