Zaburi 147
1 Msifuni Yahwe, kwa maana ni vyema kumwimbia sifa Mungu wetu, ni kuzuri, kusifu kwa faa sana.
Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!
2 Yahwe huijenga tena Yerusalemu, huwakusanya pamoja watu wa Israeli waliotawanyika.
The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.
3 Huponya mioyo iliyopondeka na kuganga majeraha yao.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
4 Huzihesabu nyota, naye huzipa majina zote.
He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.
5 Ukuu ni wa Bwana wetu na nguvu zake ni za kutisha, ufahamu wake hauwezi kupimika.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.
6 Yahwe huwainua wanyonge, huwashusha chini wenye jeuri.
The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.
7 Mwimbieni Yahwe kwa shukurani, mwimbieni sifa Mungu wetu kwa kinubi.
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,
8 Huzifunika mbingu kwa mawingu na huiandaa mvua kwa ajili ya nchi, akizifanya nyasi kukua juu ya milima.
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.
9 Huwapa wanyama chakula na wana kunguru waliapo.
He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.
10 Hapati furaha katika nguvu ya farasi, wala haridhii miguu imara ya mwanadamu.
He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legpower of the man.
11 Yahwe huridhia katika wale wanao muheshimu yeye, watumainio katika uaminifu wa agano lake.
The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.
12 Msifuni Yahwe, Yerusalemu, msifuni Mungu wenu, Sayuni.
Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!
13 Maana yeye huyakaza mapingo ya malango yako, huwabariki watoto wako kati yako.
For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.
14 Huletamafanikio ndani ya mipaka yako, hukutosheleza kwa ngano bora.
He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.
15 Huipeleka amri yake juu ya nchi, amri zake hupiga mbio sana.
He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.
16 Huifanya theluji kama sufu, huitawanya barafu kama majivu.
He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;
17 Hutupa mvua ya mawe kama makombo, ni nani awezaye kuhimili baridi aitumayo?
He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?
18 Hutuma amri zake na kuziyeyusha, huvumisha upepo wake na hutiririsha maji.
He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.
19 Hutangaza neno lake kwa Yakobo, amri zake na hukumu zake kwa Israeli.
He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.
20 Hajafanya hivyo kwa taifa linginelo lolote, na kama ilivyo amri zake, hawazijui. Msifuni Yahwe.
He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!
