Psalms 149

1 Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

Toonu Onyenwe anyị! Bụkuonụ Onyenwe anyị abụ ọhụrụ. Bụọnụ abụ ito ya nʼetiti ndị nsọ ya.

2 Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

Ka Izrel ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime onye kere ha; ka ndị bi na Zayọn nwee obi ụtọ nʼime Eze ha.

3 Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

Ka ha jiri ite egwu too aha ya ka ha jiri ọyọ na ụbọ akwara kpọọrọ ya egwu.

4 For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

Nʼihi na ihe banyere ndị ya na-atọ Onyenwe anyị ụtọ. Ọ na-eji nzọpụta kpukwasị ndị dị umeala nʼobi nʼisi dịka okpueze.

5 Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

Ka ndị nsọ ṅụrịa ọṅụ nʼime nsọpụrụ a, bụkwaa abụ nʼihi ọṅụ nʼelu ihe ndina ha.

6 May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

Ka otuto Chineke dịrị nʼọnụ ha, ka mma agha ihu abụọ dịrịkwa nʼaka ha,

7 ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

iji bọọrọ mba niile ọbọ taakwa ndị niile dị iche iche ahụhụ,

8 to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

iji mkpọrọ igwe kee ndị eze ha na ndị ha a na-asọpụrụ agbụ igwe,

9 to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!

imezu ihe ahụ e kpebiri, depụtakwa megide ha. Nke a bụ nsọpụrụ dịrị ndị nsọ ya. Toonu Onyenwe anyị.
