Zaburi 149

1 Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye! Werneuru Jehova Nyasaye wer manyien, kendo dendeuru e chokruok mar jomaler.

Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

2 Jo-Israel mondo obed mamor gi jachwechgi; ee, jo-Sayun mondo obed mamor gi Ruodhgi.

Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

3 Onego gi pak nyinge gi miel kendo giwerne mamit ka gigoyo oyieke gi nyatiti.

Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

4 Nimar chuny Jehova Nyasaye mor gi joge kendo osidho joma obolore gi warruok.

For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

5 Jomaler mondo oil kamiye duongʼ kendo giwer gimor ka gibet e kitandagi.

Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

6 Onego pak mar Nyasaye obed e dhogi kendo gitingʼ ligangla ma dhoge ariyo e lwetgi,

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

7 mondo gichulgo kuor ni ogendini kendo gikum ogendini mamoko,

To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

8 kendo gitwe ruodhigi gi nyoroche, kod jotendgi gi opingo mag chuma,

To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

9 ka gichopo kum mane ondik kuomgi chon. Ma e duongʼ mar joge maler duto. Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye!

To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.
