< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.
Msifuni Bwana. Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya, sifa zake katika kusanyiko la watakatifu.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
Israeli na washangilie katika Muumba wao, watu wa Sayuni na wafurahi katika Mfalme wao.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.
Na walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza na wampigie muziki kwa matari na kinubi.
4 For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.
Kwa maana Bwana anapendezwa na watu wake, anawavika wanyenyekevu taji ya wokovu.
5 Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.
Watakatifu washangilie katika heshima hii, na waimbe kwa shangwe vitandani mwao.
6 The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand
Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na upanga ukatao kuwili mikononi mwao,
7 to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,
ili walipize mataifa kisasi na adhabu juu ya mataifa,
8 to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,
wawafunge wafalme wao kwa minyororo, wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma,
9 to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
ili kuwafanyia hukumu iliyoandikwa dhidi yao. Huu ndio utukufu wa watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Bwana.
