Zabbuli 149

1 Mutendereze Mukama! Muyimbire Mukama oluyimba oluggya, mumutenderereze wamu n’ekibiina ky’abatukuvu.

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

2 Isirayiri asanyukirenga eyamutonda; n’abantu ba Sayuuni bajagulize Kabaka waabwe!

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

3 Batenderezenga erinnya lye nga bwe bazina, bamutenderezenga nga bwe bakuba ennanga n’ebitaasa.

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

4 Kubanga Mukama asanyukira abantu be, n’abawombeefu abawa engule ey’obulokozi.

For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Abatuukirivu bajagulizenga mu kitiibwa kino; bayimbire ku bitanda byabwe olw’essanyu.

Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 Batenderezenga Katonda waabwe, bakwate ekitala eky’obwogi obubiri,

The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

7 bawoolere eggwanga, babonereze n’amawanga,

to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

8 bateeke bakabaka baago mu njegere, n’abakungu baago babasibe amagulu n’ebyuma,

to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

9 babasalire omusango ogwabawandiikirwa. Kino kye kitiibwa ky’abatukuvu be bonna. Mutendereze Mukama.

to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
