Psalms 147

1 Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!

1 Msifuni Bwana. Tazama jinsi ilivyo vyema kumwimbia Mungu wetu sifa, jinsi inavyopendeza na kustahili kumsifu yeye!

2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel.

2 Bwana hujenga Yerusalemu, huwakusanya Israeli walio uhamishoni.

3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

3 Anawaponya waliovunjika mioyo na kuvifunga vidonda vyao.

4 He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name.

4 Huzihesabu nyota na huipa kila moja jina lake.

5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.

5 Bwana wetu ni mkuu na mwenye uwezo mwingi, ufahamu wake hauna kikomo.

6 The LORD sustains the humble, but casts the wicked to the ground.

6 Bwana huwahifadhi wanyenyekevu lakini huwashusha waovu mpaka mavumbini.

7 Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music on the harp to our God,

7 Mwimbieni Bwana kwa shukrani, mpigieni Mungu wetu kinubi.

8 who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass to grow on the hills.

8 Yeye huzifunika anga kwa mawingu, huinyeshea ardhi mvua, na kuzifanya nyasi kuota juu ya vilima.

9 He provides food for the animals, and for the young ravens when they call.

9 Huwapa chakula mifugo na pia makinda ya kunguru yanapolia.

10 He does not delight in the strength of the horse; He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

10 Furaha yake haipo katika nguvu za farasi, wala furaha yake kwenye miguu ya mwanadamu.

11 The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion.

11 Bwana hupendezwa na wale wamchao, wale wanaoweka tumaini lao katika upendo wake usiokoma.

12 Exalt the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise your God, O Zion!

12 Mtukuze Bwana, ee Yerusalemu, msifu Mungu wako, ee Sayuni,

13 For He strengthens the bars of your gates and blesses the children within you.

13 kwa maana huimarisha makomeo ya malango yako na huwabariki watu wako walio ndani yako.

14 He makes peace at your borders; He fills you with the finest wheat.

14 Huwapa amani mipakani mwenu na kukushibisha kwa ngano safi kabisa.

15 He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.

15 Hutuma amri yake duniani, neno lake hukimbia kasi.

16 He spreads the snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes;

16 Anatandaza theluji kama sufu na kutawanya umande kama majivu.

17 He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?

17 Huvurumisha mvua yake ya mawe kama changarawe. Ni nani awezaye kustahimili ukali wa baridi yake?

18 He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.

18 Hutuma neno lake na kuviyeyusha, huvumisha upepo wake, nayo maji hutiririka.

19 He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.

19 Amemfunulia Yakobo neno lake, sheria zake na maagizo yake kwa Israeli.

20 He has done this for no other nation; they do not know His judgments. Hallelujah!

20 Hajafanya hivyo kwa taifa lingine lolote, hawazijui sheria zake. Msifuni Bwana.
