Psalms 149

1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of saints.

Msifuni Yahwe. Mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; imbeni sifa zake katika kusanyiko la waaminifu.

2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful 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: let them sing praises to him with the timbrel and harp:

Nao walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza; na wamuimbie sifa yeye kwa ngoma na kinubi.

4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Kwa kuwa Yahwe hupata furaha katika watu wake; huwapa utukufu wanyeyekevu kwa wokovu.

5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

Wacha Mungu wauchangilie ushindi; nao waimbe kwa furaha vitandani mwao.

6 [Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth, 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 vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon the people;

kutekeleza kisasi juu ya mataifa na matendo ya adhabu juu ya watu.

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

Nao watawafunga wafalme wao kwa minyororo na wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma. Watatekeleza hukumu ambayo imeandikwa.

9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

Hii itakuwa ni heshima kwa ajili ya watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Yahwe.
