Psalms 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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