Psalms 146

1 Hallelujah! Praise the LORD, O my soul.

1 Msifuni Bwana! Ee nafsi yangu, umsifu Bwana,

2 I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

2 Nitamsifu Bwana maisha yangu yote; nitamwimbia Mungu wangu sifa wakati wote niishipo.

3 Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.

3 Usiweke tumaini lako kwa wakuu, kwa wanadamu ambao hufa, ambao hawawezi kuokoa.

4 When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish.

4 Roho yao itokapo hurudi mavumbini, siku hiyo hiyo mipango yao yote hukoma.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God,

5 Heri yeye ambaye Mungu wa Yakobo ni msaada wake, ambaye tumaini lake ni katika Bwana, Mungu wake,

6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever.

6 Muumba wa mbingu na nchi, na bahari na vyote vilivyomo ndani yake: Bwana anayedumu kuwa mwaminifu milele na milele.

7 He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free,

7 Naye huwapatia haki walioonewa na kuwapa wenye njaa chakula. Bwana huwaweka wafungwa huru,

8 the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous.

8 Bwana huwafumbua vipofu macho, Bwana huwainua waliolemewa na mizigo yao, Bwana huwapenda wenye haki.

9 The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates.

9 Bwana huwalinda wageni na kuwategemeza yatima na wajane, lakini hupinga njia za waovu.

10 The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah!

10 Bwana atamiliki milele, Mungu wako, ee Sayuni, kwa vizazi vyote. Msifuni Bwana.
