Zabbuli 149

1 Mutendereze Mukama! Muyimbire Mukama oluyimba oluggya, mumutenderereze wamu n’ekibiina ky’abatukuvu.

Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 Isirayiri asanyukirenga eyamutonda; n’abantu ba Sayuuni bajagulize Kabaka waabwe!

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 Batenderezenga erinnya lye nga bwe bazina, bamutenderezenga nga bwe bakuba ennanga n’ebitaasa.

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

4 Kubanga Mukama asanyukira abantu be, n’abawombeefu abawa engule ey’obulokozi.

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 Abatuukirivu bajagulizenga mu kitiibwa kino; bayimbire ku bitanda byabwe olw’essanyu.

Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

6 Batenderezenga Katonda waabwe, bakwate ekitala eky’obwogi obubiri,

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 bawoolere eggwanga, babonereze n’amawanga,

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 bateeke bakabaka baago mu njegere, n’abakungu baago babasibe amagulu n’ebyuma,

to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

9 babasalire omusango ogwabawandiikirwa. Kino kye kitiibwa ky’abatukuvu be bonna. Mutendereze Mukama.

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
