Psalms 149

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

Bokumisa Yawe! Boyembela Yawe nzembo ya sika, bokumisa Ye na banzembo kati na mayangani ya bayengebene!

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

Tika ete Isalaele asepela na Mokeli na Ye! Tika ete bato ya Siona bazala na esengo mpo na Mokonzi na bango!

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

Tika ete bakumisa Kombo na Ye na mabina; tika ete babetela Ye bambunda mpe mandanda!

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

Pamba te Yawe asepelaka na bato na Ye, alatisaka babola motole ya elonga.

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

Tika ete bayengebene na Yawe basepela kati na lokumu oyo; tika ete bayemba na esengo na bambeto na bango!

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

Tika ete bakumisa Nzambe kati na minoko na bango elongo na mopanga ya minu na bangambo nyonso mibale kati na maboko na bango

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

mpo na kozongisa mabe na mabe ya bikolo mpe kopesa bato etumbu;

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

mpo na kokanga bakonzi na bango na minyololo, kokanga bato na bango ya lokumu na mabende

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

mpe mpo na kopesa bango etumbu oyo ekomama na tina na bango! Yango nde lokumu ya bayengebene na Ye nyonso. Bokumisa Yawe!
