Psalms 149

1 Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

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

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

7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

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

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

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

9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!

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