Ee Bwana, kutukuza usitutukuze sisi, Bali ulitukuze jina lako, Kwa ajili ya fadhili zako, Kwa ajili ya uaminifu wako.
Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
2
Kwa nini mataifa kusema, Yuko wapi Mungu wao?
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
3
Lakini Mungu wetu yuko mbinguni, Alitakalo lote amelitenda.
Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
4
Sanamu zao ni fedha na dhahabu, Kazi ya mikono ya wanadamu.
Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
5
Zina vinywa lakini hazisemi, Zina macho lakini hazioni,
They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
6
Zina masikio lakini hazisikii, Zina pua lakini hazisikii harufu,
they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
7
Mikono lakini hazishiki, miguu lakini haziendi, Wala hazitoi sauti kwa koo zake.
they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
8
Wazifanyao watafanana nazo, Kila mmoja anayezitumainia.
Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
9
Enyi Israeli, mtumainini Bwana; Yeye ni msaada wao na ngao yao.
O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
10
Enyi mlango wa Haruni, mtumainini Bwana; Yeye ni msaada wao na ngao yao.
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
11
Enyi mmchao Bwana, mtumainini Bwana; Yeye ni msaada wao na ngao yao.
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
12
Bwana ametukumbuka, Naye atatubariki sisi. Ataubariki mlango wa Israeli, Ataubariki mlango wa Haruni,
The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
13
Atawabariki wamchao Bwana, Wadogo kwa wakubwa.
He will bless those who fear the LORD—small and great alike.
14
Bwana na awaongeze ninyi, Ninyi na watoto wenu.
May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
15
Na mbarikiwe ninyi na Bwana, Aliyezifanya mbingu na nchi.
May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
16
Mbingu ni mbingu za Bwana, Bali nchi amewapa wanadamu.
The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
17
Sio wafu wamsifuo Bwana, Wala wo wote washukao kwenye kimya;
It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
18
Bali sisi tutamhimidi Bwana, Tangu leo na hata milele.
But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
