Zaburi 147
1 Msifuni Yahwe, kwa maana ni vyema kumwimbia sifa Mungu wetu, ni kuzuri, kusifu kwa faa sana.
Praise ye the LORD! For it is good to sing praise to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is becoming.
2 Yahwe huijenga tena Yerusalemu, huwakusanya pamoja watu wa Israeli waliotawanyika.
The LORD buildeth up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel.
3 Huponya mioyo iliyopondeka na kuganga majeraha yao.
He healeth the broken in heart, And bindeth up their wounds.
4 Huzihesabu nyota, naye huzipa majina zote.
He counteth the number of the stars; He 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 mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
6 Yahwe huwainua wanyonge, huwashusha chini wenye jeuri.
The LORD lifteth up the lowly; He casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Mwimbieni Yahwe kwa shukurani, mwimbieni sifa Mungu wetu kwa kinubi.
Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; Sing praises upon the harp to our God!
8 Huzifunika mbingu kwa mawingu na huiandaa mvua kwa ajili ya nchi, akizifanya nyasi kukua juu ya milima.
Who covereth the heavens with clouds, Who prepareth rain for the earth, Who causeth grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 Huwapa wanyama chakula na wana kunguru waliapo.
He giveth to the cattle their food. And to the young ravens, when they cry.
10 Hapati furaha katika nguvu ya farasi, wala haridhii miguu imara ya mwanadamu.
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse, He taketh not 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 those who fear him, In those who trust in his mercy.
12 Msifuni Yahwe, Yerusalemu, msifuni Mungu wenu, Sayuni.
Praise the LORD. O Jerusalem! Praise thy God, O Zion!
13 Maana yeye huyakaza mapingo ya malango yako, huwabariki watoto wako kati yako.
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 Huletamafanikio ndani ya mipaka yako, hukutosheleza kwa ngano bora.
He maketh peace in thy borders, And satisfieth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 Huipeleka amri yake juu ya nchi, amri zake hupiga mbio sana.
He sendeth forth his command to the earth; His word runneth very swiftly.
16 Huifanya theluji kama sufu, huitawanya barafu kama majivu.
He giveth snow like wool, And scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.
17 Hutupa mvua ya mawe kama makombo, ni nani awezaye kuhimili baridi aitumayo?
He casteth forth his ice like morsels; Who can stand before his cold?
18 Hutuma amri zake na kuziyeyusha, huvumisha upepo wake na hutiririsha maji.
He sendeth forth his word, and melteth them; He causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 Hutangaza neno lake kwa Yakobo, amri zake na hukumu zake kwa Israeli.
He publisheth his word to Jacob, His statutes and laws to Israel.
20 Hajafanya hivyo kwa taifa linginelo lolote, na kama ilivyo amri zake, hawazijui. Msifuni Yahwe.
He hath dealt in this manner with no other nation; And, as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD!
