Zabbuli 149

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

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

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

Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

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

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

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

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 bawoolere eggwanga, babonereze n’amawanga,

To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among 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 fetters of iron;

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

To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
