Zaburi 146

1 Msifu Yahwe. Msifu Yahwe, ee nafsi yangu.

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh, my soul.

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

While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

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

Don’t put your trust in princes, in a 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 spirit departs, and he returns to the 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 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.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps truth forever;

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

who executes justice for the oppressed; who 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.

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

Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, but he turns the way of the wicked upside down.

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

Yahweh will reign forever; your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise Yah!
