Psalms 149

1 Praise Yahweh! Sing a new song to Yahweh, praise him whenever [his] faithful [people] gather together!

主をほめたたえよ。主にむかって新しい歌をうたえ。聖徒のつどいで、主の誉を歌え。

2 [You] Israeli people, be glad because of [what God], who created you, [has done for you]! You people of Jerusalem, rejoice because of [what God] your king [has done for you]!

イスラエルにその造り主を喜ばせ、シオンの子らにその王を喜ばせよ。

3 Praise Yahweh by dancing, by beating/playing tambourines, and by playing harps to praise him!

彼らに踊りをもって主のみ名をほめたたえさせ、鼓と琴とをもって主をほめ歌わせよ。

4 Yahweh is pleased with his people; he honors humble [people] by helping them to defeat [their enemies].

主はおのが民を喜び、へりくだる者を勝利をもって飾られるからである。

5 God’s people should rejoice because they have won battles and they should sing joyfully all during the night!

聖徒を栄光によって喜ばせ、その床の上で喜び歌わせよ。

6 They [MTY] should shout loudly to praise God; but [they should also hold] sharp swords in their hands,

そののどには神をあがめる歌があり、その手にはもろ刃のつるぎがある。

7 [ready to use them] to defeat the [soldiers of] nations [that do not worship God], and to punish the people [of those nations],

これはもろもろの国にあだを返し、もろもろの民を懲らし、

8 and to fasten the arms and legs of their kings and other leaders with iron chains,

彼らの王たちを鎖で縛り、彼らの貴人たちを鉄のかせで縛りつけ、

9 to judge [and punish] the people of those nations, like [God] wrote/declared [should be done]. It is (a privilege/an honor) for God’s faithful people to do that! Praise Yahweh!

しるされたさばきを彼らに行うためである。これはそのすべての聖徒に与えられる誉である。主をほめたたえよ。
