< Psalms 149 >
1 Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.
Msifuni Bwana. Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya, sifa zake katika kusanyiko la watakatifu.
2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult in their King.
Israeli na washangilie katika Muumba wao, watu wa Sayuni na wafurahi katika Mfalme wao.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.
Na walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza na wampigie muziki kwa matari na kinubi.
4 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.
Kwa maana Bwana anapendezwa na watu wake, anawavika wanyenyekevu taji ya wokovu.
5 Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.
Watakatifu washangilie katika heshima hii, na waimbe kwa shangwe vitandani mwao.
6 The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;
Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na upanga ukatao kuwili mikononi mwao,
7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:
ili walipize mataifa kisasi na adhabu juu ya mataifa,
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron:
wawafunge wafalme wao kwa minyororo, wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma,
9 To execute upon them the judgment [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
ili kuwafanyia hukumu iliyoandikwa dhidi yao. Huu ndio utukufu wa watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Bwana.
