1
Mbingu zauhubiri utukufu wa Mungu, Na anga laitangaza kazi ya mikono yake.
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
2
Mchana husemezana na mchana, Usiku hutolea usiku maarifa.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
3
Hakuna lugha wala maneno, Sauti yao haisikilikani.
Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,
4
Sauti yao imeenea duniani mwote, Na maneno yao hata miisho ya ulimwengu. Katika hizo ameliwekea jua hema,
their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
5
Kama bwana arusi akitoka chumbani mwake, Lafurahi kama mtu aliye hodari Kwenda mbio katika njia yake.
Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,
6
Kutoka kwake lautoka mwisho wa mbingu, Na kuzunguka kwake hata miisho yake, Wala kwa hari yake Hakuna kitu kilichositirika.
it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
7
Sheria ya Bwana ni kamilifu, Huiburudisha nafsi. Ushuhuda wa Bwana ni amini, Humtia mjinga hekima.
The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8
Maagizo ya Bwana ni ya adili, Huufurahisha moyo. Amri ya Bwana ni safi, Huyatia macho nuru.
The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9
Kicho cha Bwana ni kitakatifu, Kinadumu milele. Hukumu za Bwana ni kweli, Zina haki kabisa.
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.
10
Ni za kutamanika kuliko dhahabu, Kuliko wingi wa dhahabu safi. Nazo ni tamu kuliko asali, Kuliko sega la asali.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11
Tena mtumishi wako huonywa kwazo, Katika kuzishika kuna thawabu nyingi.
By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.
12
Ni nani awezaye kuyatambua makosa yake? Unitakase na mambo ya siri.
Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.
13
Umzuie mtumishi wako asitende mambo ya kiburi, Yasinitawale mimi. Ndipo nitakapokuwa kamili, Nami nitakuwa safi, sina kosa lililo kubwa.
Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.
14
Maneno ya kinywa changu, Na mawazo ya moyo wangu, Yapate kibali mbele zako, Ee Bwana, Mwamba wangu, na mwokozi wangu.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
