Psalms 149

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

Dumisani iNkosi! HIabelelani iNkosi ingoma entsha, indumiso yayo ebandleni labangcwele.

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

UIsrayeli kathokoze ngoMenzi wakhe, abantwana beZiyoni kabathabe eNkosini yabo.

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

Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.

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

Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.

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

Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.

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

Indumiso zikaNkulunkulu zisemphinjeni wabo, lenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili esandleni sabo,

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

ukuze benze impindiselo phezu kwabahedeni, izijeziso phezu kwezizwe,

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

ukuze babophe amakhosi azo ngamaketane, lezikhulu zazo ngezibopho zensimbi,

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

ukuze benze isahlulelo esibhaliweyo phezu kwazo. Loludumo abangcwele bayo bonke balalo. Dumisani iNkosi!
