Zabbuli 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing to the Lord a new song, sound his praise where the faithful are gathered.

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

Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons of Zion exult 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, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

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

For the Lord delights in his people, adorning the humble with victory.

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

Let the faithful exult and extol him with glad ringing cries all night long.

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

High praises of God in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 bawoolere eggwanga, babonereze n’amawanga,

on the heathen to execute vengeance, and chastisement sore on the nations,

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

binding 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 doom that is written. This is the glory of all his faithful. Hallelujah.
