Zaburi 147
1 Msifuni Yahwe, kwa maana ni vyema kumwimbia sifa Mungu wetu, ni kuzuri, kusifu kwa faa sana.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, because the psalm is good. Delightful and beautiful praise shall be for our God.
2 Yahwe huijenga tena Yerusalemu, huwakusanya pamoja watu wa Israeli waliotawanyika.
The Lord builds up Jerusalem. He will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Huponya mioyo iliyopondeka na kuganga majeraha yao.
He heals the contrite of heart, and he binds up their sorrows.
4 Huzihesabu nyota, naye huzipa majina zote.
He numbers the multitude of the stars, and he calls them all by their names.
5 Ukuu ni wa Bwana wetu na nguvu zake ni za kutisha, ufahamu wake hauwezi kupimika.
Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. And of his wisdom, there is no number.
6 Yahwe huwainua wanyonge, huwashusha chini wenye jeuri.
The Lord lifts up the meek, but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
7 Mwimbieni Yahwe kwa shukurani, mwimbieni sifa Mungu wetu kwa kinubi.
Sing before the Lord with confession. Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.
8 Huzifunika mbingu kwa mawingu na huiandaa mvua kwa ajili ya nchi, akizifanya nyasi kukua juu ya milima.
He covers heaven with clouds, and he prepares rain for the earth. He produces grass on the mountains and herbs for the service of men.
9 Huwapa wanyama chakula na wana kunguru waliapo.
He gives their food to beasts of burden and to young ravens that call upon him.
10 Hapati furaha katika nguvu ya farasi, wala haridhii miguu imara ya mwanadamu.
He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.
11 Yahwe huridhia katika wale wanao muheshimu yeye, watumainio katika uaminifu wa agano lake.
The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him and with those who hope in his mercy.
12 Msifuni Yahwe, Yerusalemu, msifuni Mungu wenu, Sayuni.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion.
13 Maana yeye huyakaza mapingo ya malango yako, huwabariki watoto wako kati yako.
For he has reinforced the bars of your gates. He has blessed your sons within you.
14 Huletamafanikio ndani ya mipaka yako, hukutosheleza kwa ngano bora.
He has stationed peace at your borders, and he has satisfied you with the fat of the grain.
15 Huipeleka amri yake juu ya nchi, amri zake hupiga mbio sana.
He sends forth his eloquence to the earth. His word runs swiftly.
16 Huifanya theluji kama sufu, huitawanya barafu kama majivu.
He provides snow like wool. He strews clouds like ashes.
17 Hutupa mvua ya mawe kama makombo, ni nani awezaye kuhimili baridi aitumayo?
He sends his ice crystals like morsels. Who can stand firm before the face of his cold?
18 Hutuma amri zake na kuziyeyusha, huvumisha upepo wake na hutiririsha maji.
He will send forth his word, and it will melt them. His Spirit will breathe out, and the waters will flow.
19 Hutangaza neno lake kwa Yakobo, amri zake na hukumu zake kwa Israeli.
He announces his word to Jacob, his justices and his judgments to Israel.
20 Hajafanya hivyo kwa taifa linginelo lolote, na kama ilivyo amri zake, hawazijui. Msifuni Yahwe.
He has not done so much for every nation, and he has not made his judgments manifest to them. Alleluia.
