Zaburi 149

1 Msifuni Yahwe. Mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; imbeni sifa zake katika kusanyiko la waaminifu.

Praise you the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

2 Israeli ishangilie katika yeye aliye iumba; watu wa Sayuni na washangilie katika mfalme wao.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Nao walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza; na wamuimbie sifa yeye kwa ngoma na kinubi.

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

4 Kwa kuwa Yahwe hupata furaha katika watu wake; huwapa utukufu wanyeyekevu kwa wokovu.

For the LORD takes pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Wacha Mungu wauchangilie ushindi; nao waimbe kwa furaha vitandani mwao.

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud on their beds.

6 Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na panga mbili zenye makali mkononi mwao

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

7 kutekeleza kisasi juu ya mataifa na matendo ya adhabu juu ya watu.

To execute vengeance on the heathen, and punishments on the people;

8 Nao watawafunga wafalme wao kwa minyororo na wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma. Watatekeleza hukumu ambayo imeandikwa.

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

9 Hii itakuwa ni heshima kwa ajili ya watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Yahwe.

To execute on them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise you the LORD.
