< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!
Yahweh Pakai chu thangvah'un! Yahweh Pakai vahchoina lathah sauvin. Tahsan chate kikhopna ah avahchoila sauvin.
2 Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.
O Israel nasempa chunga kipah'in, O Jerusalem mipite, na lengpau chungah kipah'un.
3 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.
Khongpi gintoh semjang saito thon lampum pum'in Aminchu vahchoijun,
4 For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.
Ajeh chu amite chungah akipah'in, mi nun nem te chu jana lallukhuh akhupeh tai.
5 Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.
Elohim Pathen chate chu hitobang jana achanjeh'un, jankhovah'in avahchoila sauhen,
6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,
Akhut'in chemjam hemtah kichoiyu henlang, akamsunguuvah kipah tah'in Elohim Pathen thangvah la sauhen.
7 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,
Chitin namtin ho chunga aphulah theina diuleh, namtin chunga engbolna apehtheina diuvin,
8 to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,
alengteu thihkhao kola akihen'uva, chuleh alamkaiteu thihkhaova akikan theina diuvin,
9 to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
achunguva thu kitanna dungjuija akitohdohna dingin. Hichehi Elohim Pathen chate chan loupitah achannao chu ahi. Yahweh Pakai chu thangvah'in umhen!
