Psalms 149

1 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

Dumisani iNkosi! HIabelelani iNkosi ingoma entsha, indumiso yayo ebandleni labangcwele.

2 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

UIsrayeli kathokoze ngoMenzi wakhe, abantwana beZiyoni kabathabe eNkosini yabo.

3 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.

4 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.

5 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.

6 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

Indumiso zikaNkulunkulu zisemphinjeni wabo, lenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili esandleni sabo,

7 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

ukuze benze impindiselo phezu kwabahedeni, izijeziso phezu kwezizwe,

8 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

ukuze babophe amakhosi azo ngamaketane, lezikhulu zazo ngezibopho zensimbi,

9 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!

ukuze benze isahlulelo esibhaliweyo phezu kwazo. Loludumo abangcwele bayo bonke balalo. Dumisani iNkosi!
