< Psalmowo 149 >
1 Mikafu Yehowa. Midzi ha yeye na Yehowa, midzi eƒe kafukafuha le ame kɔkɔewo ƒe asaɖa me.
Praise all of you the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Israel nekpɔ dzidzɔ le woƒe Wɔla me, Zionviwo netso aseye ɖe woƒe fia la ŋu.
Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Wonekafu eƒe ŋkɔ kple ɣeɖuɖu, eye woneƒo ha nɛ kple asiʋuiwo kple kasaŋku.
Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 Elabena Yehowa do dzidzɔ ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋu, eye wòtsɔ ɖeɖe ɖɔ na ame gblɔewo.
For the LORD takes pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Ame kɔkɔewo nekpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe bubu me, eye woadzi ha kple dzidzɔ le woƒe abawo dzi.
Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Mawu kafukafu nenɔ woƒe nu me, eye wòanye yi nuevee anɔ woƒe asiwo me,
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;
7 ne woatsɔ abia hlɔ̃ dukɔwo, eye woatsɔe ahe toe na amewo,
To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 ne woabla woƒe fiawo kple gakɔsɔkɔsɔ, eye woade kunyowu woƒe bubumewo,
To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
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 execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise all of you the LORD.
