Haleluya. Mshukuruni Bwana,liitieni jina ,Wajulisheni watu matendo yake.
Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
2
Mwimbieni, mwimbieni kwa zaburi, Zitafakarini ajabu zake zote.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
3
Jisifuni kwa jina lake takatifu, Na ufurahi moyo wao wamtafutao Bwana.
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4
Mtakeni Bwana na nguvu zake, Utafuteni uso wake sikuzote.
Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
5
Zikumbukeni ajabu zake alizozifanya, Miujiza yake na hukumu za kinywa chake.
Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
6
Enyi wazao wa Ibrahimu, mtumishi wake; Enyi wana wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7
Yeye, Bwana, ndiye Mungu wetu; Duniani mwote mna hukumu zake.
He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
8
Analikumbuka agano lake milele; Neno lile aliloviamuru vizazi elfu.
He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
9
Agano alilofanya na Ibrahimu, Na uapo wake kwa Isaka.
the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
10
Alilomthibitishia Yakobo liwe amri, Na Israeli liwe agano la milele.
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11
Akisema, Nitakupa wewe nchi ya Kanaani, Iwe urithi wenu mliopimiwa.
“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
12
Walipokuwa watu wawezao kuhesabiwa, Naam, watu wachache na wageni ndani yake,
When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
13
Wakatanga-tanga toka taifa hata taifa, Toka ufalme mmoja hata kwa watu wengine.
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14
Hakumwacha mtu awaonee, Hata wafalme aliwakemea kwa ajili yao.
He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
15
Akisema, Msiwaguse masihi wangu, Wala msiwadhuru nabii zangu.
“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
16
Akaiita njaa iijilie nchi, Akakiharibu chakula chote walichokitegemea.
He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
17
Alimpeleka mtu mbele yao, Yusufu aliuzwa utumwani.
He sent a man before them—Joseph, sold as a slave.
18
Walimwumiza miguu yake kwa pingu, Akatiwa katika minyororo ya chuma.
They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
19
Hata wakati wa kuwadia neno lake, Ahadi ya Bwana ilimjaribu.
until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
20
Mfalme alituma watu akamfungua, Mkuu wa watu akamwachia.
The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
21
Akamweka kuwa bwana wa nyumba yake, Na mwenye amri juu ya mali zake zote.
He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
22
Awafunge masheki wake kama apendavyo, Na kuwafundisha wazee wake hekima.
to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
23
Israeli naye akaingia Misri, Yakobo akawa mgeni katika nchi ya Hamu.
Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
24
Akawajalia watu wake wazae sana, Akawafanya kuwa hodari kuliko watesi wao.
And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
25
Akawageuza moyo wawachukie watu wake, Wakawatendea hila watumishi wake.
whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
26
Akamtuma Musa, mtumishi wake, Na Haruni ambaye amemchagua.
He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27
Akaweka mambo ya ishara zake kati yao, Na miujiza katika nchi ya Hamu.
They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28
Alituma giza, kukafunga giza, Wala hawakuyaasi maneno yake.
He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words.
29
Aliyageuza maji yao yakawa damu, Akawafisha samaki wao.
He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
30
Nchi yao ilijaa vyura, Vyumbani mwa wafalme wao.
Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
31
Alisema, kukaja makundi ya mainzi, Na chawa mipakani mwao mwote.
He spoke, and insects swarmed—gnats throughout their country.
32
Badala ya mvua aliwapa mvua ya mawe, Na moto wa miali katika nchi yao.
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
33
Akaipiga mizabibu yao na mitini yao, Akaivunja miti ya mipaka yao.
He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
34
Alisema, kukaja nzige, Na tunutu wasiohesabika;
He spoke, and the locusts came—young locusts without number.
35
Wakaila miche yote ya nchi yao, Wakayala matunda ya ardhi yao.
They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
36
Akawapiga wazaliwa wa kwanza katika nchi, Malimbuko ya nguvu zao.
Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
37
Akawatoa hali wana fedha na dhahabu, Katika kabila zao asiwepo mwenye kukwaa.
He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
38
Misri ilifurahi walipoondoka, Maana kwa ajili yao hofu imewaangukia.
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
39
Alitandaza wingu liwe funiko, Na moto utoe nuru usiku.
He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
40
Walipotaka akaleta kware, Akawashibisha chakula cha mbinguni.
They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41
Akaufunua mwamba, kukabubujika maji, Yakapita pakavuni kama mto.
He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
42
Maana alilikumbuka neno lake takatifu, Na Ibrahimu, mtumishi wake.
For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
43
Akawatoa watu wake kwa shangwe, Na wateule wake kwa nyimbo za furaha.
He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
44
Akawapa nchi za mataifa, wakairithi kazi ya watu;
He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
45
Ili wazishike amri zake, na kuzitii sheria zake. Haleluya.
that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
