Psalms 149

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

Haalleluuyaa. Faarfannaa haaraa Waaqayyoof faarfadhaa; waldaa qulqullootaa keessatti illee isa jajadhaa.

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

Israaʼel Uumaa isaatti haa gammadu; sabni Xiyoon Mootii isaatti haa gammadu.

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

Maqaa isaas shuubbisuudhaan haa jajatu; dibbee fi baganaadhaan isaaf haa faarfatu.

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

Waaqayyo saba isaatti ni gammadaatii; warra gad of qabanis fayyina gonfachiisa.

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

Qulqulloonni ulfina kanatti haa gammadan; siree isaanii irrattis gammachuudhaan haa faarfatan.

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

Galanni Waaqaa afaan isaanii keessa haa jiraatu; goraadeen afaan lamaas harka isaanii keessa haa jiraattu;

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

kunis sabootatti haaloo baʼuu fi namoota adabuudhaaf;

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

mootota isaanii foncaan, hangafoota isaaniis funyoo sibiilaatiin hidhuudhaaf,

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

murtii barreeffame sana isaan irratti dhugaa baʼuudhaaf. Kunis amanamtoota isaa hundaaf ulfina. Haalleluuyaa.
