Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.

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

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children 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 unto him with timbrel and harp.

Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.

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

Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.

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

Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.

6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] 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 nobles with fetters of iron;

ukuze babophe amakhosi azo ngamaketane, lezikhulu zazo ngezibopho zensimbi,

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.

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