Zaburi 149

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

Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

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

Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

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

Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

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

For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

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

Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

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

May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 mondo gichulgo kuor ni ogendini kendo gikum ogendini mamoko,

ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

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

to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

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

to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
