Psalms 149

1 Luzitisa Yave; luyimbidila Yave nkunga wumona; nzitusu andi mu lukutukunu lu banlongo.

Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

2 Bika Iseli kamona khini mu diambu di mvangi awu Bika batu ba Sioni bayangalala mu diambu di ntinu awu.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Bika bazitisa dizina diandi mu makinu; ayi bansikila miziki mu ndungu ayi mu ngitala,

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

4 bila Yave weti yangalala mu batu bandi, weti vuatisa phulusu kuidi batu beti kukikula.

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

5 Bika banlongo bamoma khan mu diambu di nzitusu wawu; ayi bayimbila mu khan mu zimbuka ziawu.

Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Bika minzitusu mi Nzambi miba mu miunu miawu ayi sabala kidi meno mu zindambu zioso mu mioko miawu;

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 mu diambu di vutula landi kuidi makanda ayi mu vana batu thumbudulu;

To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

8 mu diambu di kanga mintinu miawu mu zisieni ayi batu bawu banneni mu bisengo;

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 mu diambu di dukisa nzengolo yoyi yisonama mu diambu diawu; wawu wawu nkembo wu banlongo bandi boso. Luzitisa Yave.

to execute on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise the LORD.
