1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name:
Make known his deeds among the people.
Haleluya. Mshukuruni Bwana, liitieni jina lake, Wajulisheni watu matendo yake.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:
Talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Mwimbieni, mwimbieni kwa zaburi, Zitafakarini ajabu zake zote.
3 Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Jisifuni kwa jina lake takatifu, Na ufurahi moyo wao wamtafutao Bwana.
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength:
Seek his face evermore.
Mtakeni Bwana na nguvu zake, Utafuteni uso wake sikuzote.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done;
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Zikumbukeni ajabu zake alizozifanya, Miujiza yake na hukumu za kinywa chake.
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant,
Ye children of Jacob his chosen.
Enyi wazao wa Ibrahimu, mtumishi wake; Enyi wana wa Yakobo, wateule wake.
7 He is the LORD our God:
His judgments are in all the earth.
Yeye, Bwana, ndiye Mungu wetu; Duniani mwote mna hukumu zake.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Analikumbuka agano lake milele; Neno lile aliloviamuru vizazi elfu.
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac;
Agano alilofanya na Ibrahimu, Na uapo wake kwa Isaka.
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,
And to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
Alilomthibitishia Yakobo liwe amri, Na Israeli liwe agano la milele.
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance:
Akisema, Nitakupa wewe nchi ya Kanaani, Iwe urithi wenu mliopimiwa.
12 When they were but a few men in number;
Yea, very few, and strangers in it.
Walipokuwa watu wawezao kuhesabiwa, Naam, watu wachache na wageni ndani yake,
13 When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people;
Wakatanga-tanga toka taifa hata taifa, Toka ufalme mmoja hata kwa watu wengine.
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong:
Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
Hakumwacha mtu awaonee, Hata wafalme aliwakemea kwa ajili yao.
15 Saying , Touch not mine anointed,
And do my prophets no harm.
Akisema, Msiwaguse masihi wangu, Wala msiwadhuru nabii zangu.
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land:
He brake the whole staff of bread.
Akaiita njaa iijilie nchi, Akakiharibu chakula chote walichokitegemea.
17 He sent a man before them,
Even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
Alimpeleka mtu mbele yao, Yusufu aliuzwa utumwani.
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters:
He was laid in iron:
Walimwumiza miguu yake kwa pingu, Akatiwa katika minyororo ya chuma.
19 Until the time that his word came:
The word of the LORD tried him.
Hata wakati wa kuwadia neno lake, Ahadi ya Bwana ilimjaribu.
20 The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
Mfalme alituma watu akamfungua, Mkuu wa watu akamwachia.
21 He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his substance:
Akamweka kuwa bwana wa nyumba yake, Na mwenye amri juu ya mali zake zote.
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure;
And teach his senators wisdom.
Awafunge masheki wake kama apendavyo, Na kuwafundisha wazee wake hekima.
23 Israel also came into Egypt;
And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Israeli naye akaingia Misri, Yakobo akawa mgeni katika nchi ya Hamu.
24 And he increased his people greatly;
And made them stronger than their enemies.
Akawajalia watu wake wazae sana, Akawafanya kuwa hodari kuliko watesi wao.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people,
To deal subtilly with his servants.
Akawageuza moyo wawachukie watu wake, Wakawatendea hila watumishi wake.
26 He sent Moses his servant;
And Aaron whom he had chosen.
Akamtuma Musa, mtumishi wake, Na Haruni ambaye amemchagua.
27 They shewed his signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
Akaweka mambo ya ishara zake kati yao, Na miujiza katika nchi ya Hamu.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against his word.
Alituma giza, kukafunga giza, Wala hawakuyaasi maneno yake.
29 He turned their waters into blood,
And slew their fish.
Aliyageuza maji yao yakawa damu, Akawafisha samaki wao.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance,
In the chambers of their kings.
Nchi yao ilijaa vyura, Vyumbani mwa wafalme wao.
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies,
And lice in all their coasts.
Alisema, kukaja makundi ya mainzi, Na chawa mipakani mwao mwote.
32 He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
Badala ya mvua aliwapa mvua ya mawe, Na moto wa miali katika nchi yao.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees;
And brake the trees of their coasts.
Akaipiga mizabibu yao na mitini yao, Akaivunja miti ya mipaka yao.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
Alisema, kukaja nzige, Na tunutu wasiohesabika;
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
Wakaila miche yote ya nchi yao, Wakayala matunda ya ardhi yao.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land,
The chief of all their strength.
Akawapiga wazaliwa wa kwanza katika nchi, Malimbuko ya nguvu zao.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold:
And there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Akawatoa hali wana fedha na dhahabu, Katika kabila zao asiwepo mwenye kukwaa.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed:
For the fear of them fell upon them.
Misri ilifurahi walipoondoka, Maana kwa ajili yao hofu imewaangukia.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering;
And fire to give light in the night.
Alitandaza wingu liwe funiko, Na moto utoe nuru usiku.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Walipotaka akaleta kware, Akawashibisha chakula cha mbinguni.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
Akaufunua mwamba, kukabubujika maji, Yakapita pakavuni kama mto.
42 For he remembered his holy promise,
And Abraham his servant.
Maana alilikumbuka neno lake takatifu, Na Ibrahimu, mtumishi wake.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy,
And his chosen with gladness:
Akawatoa watu wake kwa shangwe, Na wateule wake kwa nyimbo za furaha.
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen:
And they inherited the labour of the people;
Akawapa nchi za mataifa, wakairithi kazi ya watu;
45 That they might observe his statutes,
And keep his laws.
Praise ye the LORD.
Ili wazishike amri zake, na kuzitii sheria zake. Haleluya.
