Zaburi 147
1 Msifuni Yahwe, kwa maana ni vyema kumwimbia sifa Mungu wetu, ni kuzuri, kusifu kwa faa sana.
Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise.
2 Yahwe huijenga tena Yerusalemu, huwakusanya pamoja watu wa Israeli waliotawanyika.
The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Huponya mioyo iliyopondeka na kuganga majeraha yao.
Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.
4 Huzihesabu nyota, naye huzipa majina zote.
Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth 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 power: and of his wisdom there is no number.
6 Yahwe huwainua wanyonge, huwashusha chini wenye jeuri.
The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.
7 Mwimbieni Yahwe kwa shukurani, mwimbieni sifa Mungu wetu kwa kinubi.
Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.
8 Huzifunika mbingu kwa mawingu na huiandaa mvua kwa ajili ya nchi, akizifanya nyasi kukua juu ya milima.
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth. Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.
9 Huwapa wanyama chakula na wana kunguru waliapo.
Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10 Hapati furaha katika nguvu ya farasi, wala haridhii miguu imara ya mwanadamu.
He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 Yahwe huridhia katika wale wanao muheshimu yeye, watumainio katika uaminifu wa agano lake.
The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
12 Msifuni Yahwe, Yerusalemu, msifuni Mungu wenu, Sayuni.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
13 Maana yeye huyakaza mapingo ya malango yako, huwabariki watoto wako kati yako.
Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 Huletamafanikio ndani ya mipaka yako, hukutosheleza kwa ngano bora.
Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
15 Huipeleka amri yake juu ya nchi, amri zake hupiga mbio sana.
Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
16 Huifanya theluji kama sufu, huitawanya barafu kama majivu.
Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
17 Hutupa mvua ya mawe kama makombo, ni nani awezaye kuhimili baridi aitumayo?
He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
18 Hutuma amri zake na kuziyeyusha, huvumisha upepo wake na hutiririsha maji.
He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
19 Hutangaza neno lake kwa Yakobo, amri zake na hukumu zake kwa Israeli.
Who declareth 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 hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
