Psalms 135

1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,

1 Msifuni Bwana. Lisifuni jina la Bwana, msifuni, enyi watumishi wa Bwana,

2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

2 ninyi ambao mnatumika ndani ya nyumba ya Bwana, katika nyua za nyumba ya Mungu wetu.

3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

3 Msifuni Bwana, kwa kuwa Bwana ni mwema, liimbieni sifa jina lake, kwa maana hilo lapendeza.

4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.

4 Kwa maana Bwana amemchagua Yakobo kuwa wake mwenyewe, Israeli kuwa mali yake ya thamani.

5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.

5 Ninajua ya kuwa Bwana ni mkuu, kwamba Bwana wetu ni mkuu kuliko miungu yote.

6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.

6 Bwana hufanya lolote apendalo, mbinguni na duniani, katika bahari na vilindi vyake vyote.

7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

7 Hufanya mawingu kupanda kutoka miisho ya dunia; hupeleka umeme wa radi pamoja na mvua na huleta upepo kutoka ghala zake.

8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.

8 Alimuua mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Misri, mzaliwa wa kwanza wa wanadamu na wanyama.

9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

9 Alipeleka ishara zake na maajabu katikati yako, ee Misri, dhidi ya Farao na watumishi wake wote.

10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:

10 Aliyapiga mataifa mengi, na akaua wafalme wenye nguvu:

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.

11 Mfalme Sihoni na Waamori, Ogu mfalme wa Bashani na wafalme wote wa Kanaani:

12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.

12 akatoa nchi yao kuwa urithi, urithi kwa watu wake Israeli.

13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

13 Ee Bwana, jina lako ladumu milele, kumbukumbu za fahari zako, Ee Bwana, kwa vizazi vyote.

14 For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.

14 Maana Bwana atawathibitisha watu wake, na kuwahurumia watumishi wake.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

15 Sanamu za mataifa ni fedha na dhahabu, zilizotengenezwa kwa mikono ya wanadamu.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

16 Zina vinywa, lakini haziwezi kusema, zina macho, lakini haziwezi kuona;

17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.

17 zina masikio, lakini haziwezi kusikia, wala hakuna pumzi katika vinywa vyao.

18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

18 Wale wanaozitengeneza watafanana nazo, vivyo hivyo wale wote wanaozitumainia.

19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;

19 Ee nyumba ya Israeli, msifuni Bwana; ee nyumba ya Aroni, msifuni Bwana;

20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

20 ee nyumba ya Lawi, msifuni Bwana; ninyi mnaomcha, msifuni Bwana.

21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion—He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

21 Msifuni Bwana kutoka Sayuni, msifuni yeye aishiye Yerusalemu. Msifuni Bwana.
