Psalms 149

1 Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

Mou fakamālō kia Sihova. Hiva kia Sihova ʻaki ʻae hiva foʻou, mo e fakamālō kiate ia ʻi he fakataha ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.

2 Let Israel rejoice in the one who made them; let the people of Zion rejoice in their king.

Ke fiefia ʻa ʻIsileli ʻiate ia naʻa ne ngaohi ia: ke fiefia ʻae fānau ʻa Saione ʻi honau Tuʻi.

3 Let them praise his name with dancing; let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp.

Kenau fakamālō ki hono huafa ʻi he meʻe: kenau hiva fakamālō kiate ia ʻaki ʻae lali iiki mo e haʻape.

4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

He ʻoku fiefia ʻa Sihova ʻi hono kakai te ne teuteu ʻae angamalū ʻaki ʻae fakamoʻui.

5 Let the godly rejoice in victory; let them sing for joy on their beds.

Ke fiefia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni ʻi he nāunau: kenau hiva kalanga, ʻi honau ngaahi mohenga.

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

Ke ʻi honau ngutu ʻae fakamālō lahi ki he ʻOtua, pea ʻi honau nima ʻae heletā ʻoku fakatoumata;

7 to execute vengeance on the nations and acts of punishment on the peoples.

Ke ʻatu ʻae totongi ki he hiteni, mo e ngaahi tautea ki he kakai:

8 They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

Ke haʻisia honau ngaahi tuʻi ʻaki ʻae ukamea fihifihi, mo honau houʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi haʻi ukamea;

9 They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.

Ke fai kiate kinautolu ʻae fakamaau kuo tohi: kuo pehē ʻae hakeakiʻi ʻo ʻene kakai māʻoniʻoni kotoa pē. Mou fakamālō kia Sihova.
