Psalms 149

1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

Dumisani uThixo. Hlabelelani uThixo ingoma entsha, indumiso yakhe ebandleni labathembekileyo.

2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult in their King.

Akuthi u-Israyeli athokoze ngoMenzi wakhe; akuthi abantu baseZiyoni bajabule ngeNkosi yabo.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

Kabadumise ibizo lakhe ngokusina, batshaye amagedla lamachacho.

4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.

Ngoba uThixo uyathokoza ngabantu bakhe; abathobekileyo ubapha umqhele wensindiso.

5 Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

Akuthi abathembekileyo bathokoze ngale inhlonipho, bahlabele ngentokozo besemibhedeni yabo.

6 The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

Sengathi indumiso kaNkulunkulu ingaba semilonyeni yabo lenkemba esika nxazonke ibe sezandleni zabo,

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

ukuthi benze impindiselo phezu kwezizwe lesijeziso phezu kwabantu,

8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron:

babophe amakhosi azo ngentambo lezikhulu zabo ngezibopho zensimbi,

9 To execute upon them the judgment [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.

ukugcwalisa kubo isigwebo abasibhalelwayo. Lokhu kuyinkazimulo yabathembekileyo bakhe bonke. Dumisani uThixo.
