< Psalms 149 >
1 Praise Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh a new song, his praise in the assembly of the saints.
Msifuni Bwana. Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya, sifa zake katika kusanyiko la watakatifu.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Israeli na washangilie katika Muumba wao, watu wa Sayuni na wafurahi katika Mfalme wao.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing praises to him with tambourine and harp!
Na walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza na wampigie muziki kwa matari na kinubi.
4 For Yahweh takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with salvation.
Kwa maana Bwana anapendezwa na watu wake, anawavika wanyenyekevu taji ya wokovu.
5 Let the saints rejoice in honor. Let them sing for joy on their beds.
Watakatifu washangilie katika heshima hii, na waimbe kwa shangwe vitandani mwao.
6 May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand,
Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na upanga ukatao kuwili mikononi mwao,
7 to execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;
ili walipize mataifa kisasi na adhabu juu ya mataifa,
8 to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
wawafunge wafalme wao kwa minyororo, wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma,
9 to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Praise Yah!
ili kuwafanyia hukumu iliyoandikwa dhidi yao. Huu ndio utukufu wa watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Bwana.
