Psalms 149

1 Praise JAH. Sing to YHWH a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

Whakamoemititia a Ihowa. Waiatatia ki a Ihowa he waiata hou, me te whakamoemiti ki a ia i te whakaminenga o te hunga tapu.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people of Zion be joyful in their King.

Kia hari a Iharaira ki tona kaihanga: kia koa nga tama a Hiona ki to ratou Kingi.

3 Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

Kia whakamoemiti ratou ki tona ingoa me te kanikani ano: kia himene ratou ki a ia i runga i te timipera, i te hapa.

4 For YHWH takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.

E manako ana hoki a Ihowa ki tana iwi: mana e whakaataahua te hunga mahaki ki te whakaoranga.

5 Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Kia koa te hunga tapu i runga i te kororia: kia hamama ratou i te hari i runga i o ratou moenga.

6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

Kia whai whakamoemiti o ratou mangai ki te Atua, kia whai hoari matarua to ratou ringa;

7 To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

Hei rapu utu i nga tauiwi, hei whiu i nga iwi;

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

Hei herehere i o ratou kingi ki te makameka, i o ratou tangata nunui ki nga here rino;

9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise JAH.

Hei whakaputa ki a ratou i te whakaritenga kua oti te tuhituhi: No tona hunga tapu katoa tenei honore. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.
