Psalms 149

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

Msifuni Yahwe. Mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; imbeni sifa zake katika kusanyiko la waaminifu.

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

Israeli ishangilie katika yeye aliye iumba; watu wa Sayuni na washangilie katika mfalme wao.

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

Nao walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza; na wamuimbie sifa yeye kwa ngoma na kinubi.

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

Kwa kuwa Yahwe hupata furaha katika watu wake; huwapa utukufu wanyeyekevu kwa wokovu.

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

Wacha Mungu wauchangilie ushindi; nao waimbe kwa furaha 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 panga mbili zenye makali mkononi mwao

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

kutekeleza kisasi juu ya mataifa na matendo ya adhabu juu ya watu.

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

Nao watawafunga wafalme wao kwa minyororo na wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma. Watatekeleza hukumu ambayo imeandikwa.

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

Hii itakuwa ni heshima kwa ajili ya watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Yahwe.
