< Psalmowo 149 >
1 Mikafu Yehowa. Midzi ha yeye na Yehowa, midzi eƒe kafukafuha le ame kɔkɔewo ƒe asaɖa me.
Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.
2 Israel nekpɔ dzidzɔ le woƒe Wɔla me, Zionviwo netso aseye ɖe woƒe fia la ŋu.
Let Israel rejoice in his Maker: let the children of Zion exult 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: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.
4 Elabena Yehowa do dzidzɔ ɖe eƒe dukɔ ŋu, eye wòtsɔ ɖeɖe ɖɔ na ame gblɔewo.
For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn the meek with salvation.
5 Ame kɔkɔewo nekpɔ dzidzɔ le eƒe bubu me, eye woadzi ha kple dzidzɔ le woƒe abawo dzi.
Let the pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.
6 Mawu kafukafu nenɔ woƒe nu me, eye wòanye yi nuevee anɔ woƒe asiwo me,
The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;
7 ne woatsɔ abia hlɔ̃ dukɔwo, eye woatsɔe ahe toe na amewo,
To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on 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 [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
