Psalmowo 149

1 Mikafu Yehowa. Midzi ha yeye na Yehowa, midzi eƒe kafukafuha le ame kɔkɔewo ƒe asaɖa me.

Praise the Lord! Sing a new song to the Lord! Praise him wherever his faithful followers gather!

2 Israel nekpɔ dzidzɔ le woƒe Wɔla me, Zionviwo netso aseye ɖe woƒe fia la ŋu.

Let Israel celebrate their Creator; let the people of Zion be happy in their King.

3 Wonekafu eƒe ŋkɔ kple ɣeɖuɖu, eye woneƒo ha nɛ kple asiʋuiwo kple kasaŋku.

Praise his nature with dancing; sing praises to him, accompanied by tambourine and harp.

4 Elabena Yehowa do dzidzɔ ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋu, eye wòtsɔ ɖeɖe ɖɔ na ame gblɔewo.

For the Lord enjoys his people; he honors the oppressed with salvation.

5 Ame kɔkɔewo nekpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe bubu me, eye woadzi ha kple dzidzɔ le woƒe abawo dzi.

Let the faithful celebrate how he honors them; let them sing happily even from their beds.

6 Mawu kafukafu nenɔ woƒe nu me, eye wòanye yi nuevee anɔ woƒe asiwo me,

May their praises of God always be on their lips, a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 ne woatsɔ abia hlɔ̃ dukɔwo, eye woatsɔe ahe toe na amewo,

ready to take revenge on the nations, to punish the foreign peoples,

8 ne woabla woƒe fiawo kple gakɔsɔkɔsɔ, eye woade kunyowu woƒe bubumewo,

to imprison their kings in shackles and their leaders in iron chains,

9 ne woawɔ fɔ si wobu wo, woŋlɔ da ɖi ɖe wo ŋu la dzi. Esia nye eƒe ame kɔkɔewo katã ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe. Mikafu Yehowa.

to impose the judgment decreed against them. This is an honor for all his faithful followers. Praise the Lord!
