Zaburi 148
1 Msifuni Yahwe. Msifuni Yahwe, ninyi mlio katika mbingu; msifuni yeye, ninyi mlio juu.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from heaven; praise him in the heights above!
2 Msifuni yeye, enyi malaika wake wote; msifuni yeye, majeshi ya malaika wake wote.
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly armies!
3 Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi; msifuni yeye, nyota zote zing'aazo.
Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!
4 Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu zaidi na maji yaliyo juu ya anga.
Praise him, highest heavens, and the waters above the heavens!
5 Na vilisifu jina la Yahwe, maana aliamuru, navyo vikaumbwa.
Let them all praise the Lord and his nature, for he gave the order and they were created.
6 Pia ameviimrisha milele na milele; naye alitoa amri ambayo haitabadilika.
He placed them in their positions forever and ever; he established a law that will never end.
7 Msifuni yeye kutoka nchi, ninyi viumbe wa baharini na viumbe vyote katika kina cha bahari,
Praise the Lord from the earth, and creatures from all the depths of the seas,
8 moto na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, upepo wa dhoruba ukitimiza neno lake.
lightning and hail, snow and clouds, and stormy wind—everything that does as he commands.
9 Msifuni yeye, enyi milima na vilima, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,
Mountains and all the hills, fruit trees and all the trees of the forest,
10 wanyama pori na wanyama wafugwao, viumbe vitambaavyo na ndege.
wild animals and all livestock, crawling animals and wild birds,
11 Msifuni Yahwe, wafalme wa nchi na mataifa yote, wakuu na watawala wote wa nchi,
earthly kings and all peoples, leaders and rulers of the world,
12 wote vijana wa kiume na vijana wa kike, wazee na watoto.
young men and women, old people and children—
13 Na walisifu jina la Yahwe, kwa kuwa jina lake pekee limetukuka na utukufu wake umeongezwa juu ya nchi na mbingu.
Let them all praise the Lord, for his reputation is unequalled; his glory is above anything on earth or in heaven.
14 Naye ameyainua mapembe ya watu wake kwa ajili ya sifa kutoka kwa waaminifu wake wote, Waisraeli, watu wa karibu naye. Msifuni Yahwe.
He has given his people a source of strength, bringing praise to his faithful followers, the people of Israel who are dear to him. Praise the Lord!
