Psalms 149

1 Let the Lord be praised. Make a new song to the Lord, let his praise be in the meeting of his saints.

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

2 Let Israel have joy in his maker; let the children of Zion be glad in their King.

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

3 Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music.

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

4 For the Lord has pleasure in his people: he gives the poor in spirit a crown of salvation.

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

5 Let the saints have joy and glory: let them give cries of joy on their beds.

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

6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hands;

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

7 To give the nations the reward of their sins, and the peoples their punishment;

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

8 To put their kings in chains, and their rulers in bands of iron;

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

9 To give them the punishment which is in the holy writings: this honour is given to all his saints. Praise be to the Lord.

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