< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, his praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.
Msifuni Yahwe. Mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; imbeni sifa zake katika kusanyiko la waaminifu.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him, Let the sons 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 timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.
Nao walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza; na wamuimbie sifa yeye kwa ngoma na kinubi.
4 For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.
Kwa kuwa Yahwe hupata furaha katika watu wake; huwapa utukufu wanyeyekevu kwa wokovu.
5 Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud upon their beds:
Wacha Mungu wauchangilie ushindi; nao waimbe kwa furaha vitandani mwao.
6 The high songs of GOD be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand:
Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na panga mbili zenye makali mkononi mwao
7 To execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes among the peoples:
kutekeleza kisasi juu ya mataifa na matendo ya adhabu juu ya watu.
8 To bind their kings with fetters, and their honoured ones with iron bands:
Nao watawafunga wafalme wao kwa minyororo na wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma. Watatekeleza hukumu ambayo imeandikwa.
9 To execute upon them the sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!
Hii itakuwa ni heshima kwa ajili ya watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Yahwe.
