Amahubo 149

1 Dumisani iNkosi! HIabelelani iNkosi ingoma entsha, indumiso yayo ebandleni labangcwele.

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

2 UIsrayeli kathokoze ngoMenzi wakhe, abantwana beZiyoni kabathabe eNkosini yabo.

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

3 Kabadumise ibizo layo ngokusina, kabayihlabelele indumiso ngesigujana lechacho.

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and psaltery.

4 Ngoba iNkosi iyathokoza ngabantu bayo; izacecisa abamnene ngosindiso.

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

5 Abangcwele kabathokoze ngendumiso, kabahlabelele ngenjabulo emibhedeni yabo.

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

6 Indumiso zikaNkulunkulu zisemphinjeni wabo, lenkemba esika nhlangothi mbili esandleni sabo,

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

7 ukuze benze impindiselo phezu kwabahedeni, izijeziso phezu kwezizwe,

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;

8 ukuze babophe amakhosi azo ngamaketane, lezikhulu zazo ngezibopho zensimbi,

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.

9 ukuze benze isahlulelo esibhaliweyo phezu kwazo. Loludumo abangcwele bayo bonke balalo. Dumisani iNkosi!
