Psalms 149

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

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

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

Israeli ishangilie katika yeye aliye iumba; watu wa Sayuni na washangilie katika mfalme wao.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na panga mbili zenye makali mkononi mwao

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

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

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

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

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

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