Zabbuli 149

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

PRAISE ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children 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 praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

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

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

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

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;

7 bawoolere eggwanga, babonereze n’amawanga,

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;

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. Praise ye the Lord.
