A Psalm of David.
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul:
And all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana. Naam, vyote vilivyo ndani yangu Vilihimidi jina lake takatifu.
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all his benefits:
Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana, Wala usizisahau fadhili zake zote.
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
Who healeth all thy diseases;
Akusamehe maovu yako yote, Akuponya magonjwa yako yote,
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction;
Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
Aukomboa uhai wako na kaburi, Akutia taji ya fadhili na rehema,
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things ;
So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Aushibisha mema uzee wako, Ujana wako ukarejezwa kama tai;
6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment
For all that are oppressed.
Bwana ndiye afanyaye mambo ya haki, Na hukumu kwa wote wanaoonewa.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses,
His acts unto the children of Israel.
Alimjulisha Musa njia zake, Wana wa Israeli matendo yake.
8 The LORD is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
Bwana amejaa huruma na neema, Haoni hasira upesi, ni mwingi wa fadhili.
9 He will not always chide:
Neither will he keep his anger for ever.
Yeye hatateta sikuzote, Wala hatashika hasira yake milele.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins;
Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Hakututenda sawasawa na hatia zetu, Wala hakutulipa kwa kadiri ya maovu yetu.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth,
So great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
Maana mbingu zilivyoinuka juu ya nchi, Kadiri ile ile rehema zake ni kuu kwa wamchao.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Kama mashariki ilivyo mbali na magharibi, Ndivyo alivyoweka dhambi zetu mbali nasi.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children,
So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
Kama vile baba awahurumiavyo watoto wake, Ndivyo Bwana anavyowahurumia wamchao.
14 For he knoweth our frame;
He remembereth that we are dust.
Kwa maana Yeye anatujua umbo letu, Na kukumbuka ya kuwa sisi tu mavumbi.
15 As for man, his days are as grass:
As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
Mwanadamu siku zake zi kama majani; Kama ua la kondeni ndivyo asitawivyo.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;
And the place thereof shall know it no more.
Maana upepo hupita juu yake, kumbe haliko! Na mahali pake hapatalijua tena.
17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him,
And his righteousness unto children's children;
Bali fadhili za Bwana zina wamchao Tangu milele hata milele, Na haki yake ina wana wa wana;
18 To such as keep his covenant,
And to those that remember his commandments to do them.
Maana, wale walishikao agano lake, Na kuyakumbuka maagizo yake ili wayafanye.
19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens;
And his kingdom ruleth over all.
Bwana ameweka kiti chake cha enzi mbinguni, Na ufalme wake unavitawala vitu vyote.
20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength,
That do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Mhimidini Bwana, enyi malaika zake, Ninyi mlio hodari, mtendao neno lake, Mkiisikiliza sauti ya neno lake.
21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts;
Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Mhimidini Bwana, enyi majeshi yake yote, Ninyi watumishi wake mfanyao mapenzi yake.
22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion:
Bless the LORD, O my soul.
Mhimidini Bwana, enyi matendo yake yote, Mahali pote pa milki yake. Ee nafsi yangu, umhimidi Bwana.
