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.

While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises to my God while I have any being.

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

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there 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 his earth; in that very day his thoughts 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 in them: 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 looseth 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 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 widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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

The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
