Psalms 149

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

Msifuni Yahwe. Mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; imbeni sifa zake katika kusanyiko la waaminifu.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Israeli ishangilie katika yeye aliye iumba; watu wa Sayuni na washangilie katika mfalme wao.

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

Nao walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza; na wamuimbie sifa yeye kwa ngoma na kinubi.

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

Kwa kuwa Yahwe hupata furaha katika watu wake; huwapa utukufu wanyeyekevu kwa wokovu.

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

Wacha Mungu wauchangilie ushindi; nao waimbe kwa furaha vitandani mwao.

6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na panga mbili zenye makali mkononi mwao

7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

kutekeleza kisasi juu ya mataifa na matendo ya adhabu juu ya watu.

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

Nao watawafunga wafalme wao kwa minyororo na wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma. Watatekeleza hukumu ambayo imeandikwa.

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

Hii itakuwa ni heshima kwa ajili ya watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Yahwe.
