Zaburi 146

1 Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.

Praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh, my soul.

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

I give praise to Yahweh with all my life; I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

Do not put your trust in princes or in mankind, in whom there is no salvation.

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

When a person's life's breath stops, he returns to the ground; on that day his plans end.

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

Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh his God.

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

Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; he observes trustworthiness forever.

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

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners;

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

Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind; Yahweh raises up those who are bowed down; Yahweh loves the righteous people.

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

Yahweh protects the foreigners in the land; he lifts up the fatherless and widow, but he opposes the wicked.

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

Yahweh will reign forever, your God, Zion, for all generations. Praise Yahweh.
