Psalmowo 149

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones 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 do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
