Psalms 149

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

Rumbidzai Jehovha. Imbirai Jehovha rwiyo rutsva, rumbidzo yake paungano yavatsvene.

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]!

Israeri ngavafarire Muiti wavo; vanhu veZioni ngavafarire Mambo wavo.

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

Ngavarumbidze zita rake vachitamba, uye vamuridzire nziyo namatambureni nembira.

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

Nokuti Jehovha anofarira vanhu vake; vanozvininipisa anovashongedza korona noruponeso.

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

Vatsvene ngavafare nokukudzwa kwake, uye vaimbe nomufaro vari pamibhedha yavo.

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

Kurumbidzwa kwaMwari ngakuve pamiromo yavo, nomunondo unocheka kwose, mumaoko avo,

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

kuti vatsive pamusoro pendudzi, uye varange marudzi avanhu,

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

vasunge madzimambo avo nengetani, namakurukota avo nezvisungo zvamatare,

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!

kuti vaite zvavakatongwa nazvo, zvakanyorwa pamusoro pavo. Ndiko kukudzwa kwavatsvene vose. Rumbidzai Jehovha.
