Zaburi 148

1 Msifuni Yahwe. Msifuni Yahwe, ninyi mlio katika mbingu; msifuni yeye, ninyi mlio juu.

Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the heights.

2 Msifuni yeye, enyi malaika wake wote; msifuni yeye, majeshi ya malaika wake wote.

Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.

3 Msifuni yeye, enyi jua na mwezi; msifuni yeye, nyota zote zing'aazo.

Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

4 Msifuni yeye, enyi mbingu zilizo juu zaidi na maji yaliyo juu ya anga.

Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.

5 Na vilisifu jina la Yahwe, maana aliamuru, navyo vikaumbwa.

Let them praise the name of the Lord; for he commanded and they were created.

6 Pia ameviimrisha milele na milele; naye alitoa amri ambayo haitabadilika.

And he established them for ever and to eternity: he gave a decree which none shall transgress.

7 Msifuni yeye kutoka nchi, ninyi viumbe wa baharini na viumbe vyote katika kina cha bahari,

Praise the Lord from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;

8 moto na mvua ya mawe, theluji na mawingu, upepo wa dhoruba ukitimiza neno lake.

Fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; thou storm-wind that fulfillest his word;

9 Msifuni yeye, enyi milima na vilima, miti ya matunda na mierezi yote,

Ye mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;

10 wanyama pori na wanyama wafugwao, viumbe vitambaavyo na ndege.

Ye beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;

11 Msifuni Yahwe, wafalme wa nchi na mataifa yote, wakuu na watawala wote wa nchi,

Ye kings of the earth, and all nations; ye princes, and all judges of the earth;

12 wote vijana wa kiume na vijana wa kike, wazee na watoto.

Young men and also virgins; old men, together with boys: —

13 Na walisifu jina la Yahwe, kwa kuwa jina lake pekee limetukuka na utukufu wake umeongezwa juu ya nchi na mbingu.

Let them praise the name of the Lord; for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and 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 also exalteth the horn of his people, a praise unto all his pious servants, [even] unto the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah.
