A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD,
And to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
Ni neno jema kumshukuru Bwana, Na kuliimbia jina lako, Ee Uliye juu.
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,
And thy faithfulness every night,
Kuzitangaza rehema zako asubuhi, Na uaminifu wako wakati wa usiku.
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;
Upon the harp with a solemn sound.
Kwa chombo chenye nyuzi kumi, Na kwa kinanda, Na kwa mlio wa kinubi.
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work:
I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
Kwa kuwa umenifurahisha, Bwana, Kwa kazi yako; nitashangilia Kwa ajili ya matendo ya mikono yako.
5 O LORD, how great are thy works!
And thy thoughts are very deep.
Ee Bwana, jinsi yalivyo makuu matendo yako! Mawazo yako ni mafumbo makubwa.
6 A brutish man knoweth not;
Neither doth a fool understand this.
Mtu mjinga hayatambui hayo, Wala mpumbavu hayafahamu.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;
It is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
Wasio haki wakichipuka kama majani Na wote watendao maovu wakistawi. Ni kwa kusudi waangamizwe milele;
8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
Bali Wewe, Bwana, U Mtukufu hata milele.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Maana hao adui zako, Ee Bwana, Hao adui zako watapotea, Na watendao maovu watatawanyika wote pia.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn:
I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Bali pembe yangu umeiinua kama pembe ya nyati, Nimepakwa mafuta mabichi.
11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies,
And mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
Na jicho langu limewatazama walioniotea, Sikio langu limesikia habari za waovu walionishambulia.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree:
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Mwenye haki atasitawi kama mtende, Atakua kama mwerezi wa Lebanoni.
13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Waliopandwa katika nyumba ya Bwana Watasitawi katika nyua za Mungu wetu.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
They shall be fat and flourishing;
Watazaa matunda hadi wakati wa uzee, Watajaa utomvu, watakuwa na ubichi.
15 To shew that the LORD is upright: He is my rock,
And there is no unrighteousness in him.
Watangaze ya kuwa Bwana ni mwenye adili, Mwamba wangu, ndani yake hamna udhalimu.
