Psalms 149

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

Msifuni Bwana. Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya, sifa zake katika kusanyiko la watakatifu.

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

Israeli na washangilie katika Muumba wao, watu wa Sayuni na wafurahi katika Mfalme wao.

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

Na walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza na wampigie muziki kwa matari na kinubi.

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

Kwa maana Bwana anapendezwa na watu wake, anawavika wanyenyekevu taji ya wokovu.

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

Watakatifu washangilie katika heshima hii, na waimbe kwa shangwe vitandani mwao.

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

Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na upanga ukatao kuwili mikononi mwao,

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

ili walipize mataifa kisasi na adhabu juu ya mataifa,

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

wawafunge wafalme wao kwa minyororo, wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma,

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

ili kuwafanyia hukumu iliyoandikwa dhidi yao. Huu ndio utukufu wa watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Bwana.
