Zabbuli 149

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

Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people 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 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 crowns the humble with salvation.

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

Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

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

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 bawoolere eggwanga, babonereze n’amawanga,

To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments 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 fetters of iron;

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

to execute on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise the LORD.
