< Psalms 149 >
1 Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.
Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae hiva foʻou, mo e fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.
2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.
Ke fiefia ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate ia naʻa ne ngaohi ia: ke fiefia ʻae fānau ʻa Saione ʻi honau Tuʻi.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.
Kenau fakamālō ki hono huafa ʻi he meʻe: kenau hiva fakamālō kiate ia ʻaki ʻae lali iiki mo e haʻape.
4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.
He ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi hono kakai te ne teuteu ʻae angamalū ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui.
5 Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
Ke fiefia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he nāunau: kenau hiva kalanga, ʻi honau ngaahi mohenga.
6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
Ke ʻi honau ngutu ʻae fakamālō lahi ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻi honau nima ʻae heletā ʻoku fakatoumata;
7 To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;
Ke ʻatu ʻae totongi ki he hiteni, mo e ngaahi tautea ki he kakai:
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
Ke haʻisia honau ngaahi tuʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi, mo honau houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi haʻi ukamea;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
Ke fai kiate kinautolu ʻae fakamaau kuo tohi: kuo pehē ʻae hakeakiʻi ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
