< Mapisarema 149 >
1 Rumbidzai Jehovha. Imbirai Jehovha rwiyo rutsva, rumbidzo yake paungano yavatsvene.
Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.
2 Israeri ngavafarire Muiti wavo; vanhu veZioni ngavafarire Mambo wavo.
Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.
3 Ngavarumbidze zita rake vachitamba, uye vamuridzire nziyo namatambureni nembira.
Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.
4 Nokuti Jehovha anofarira vanhu vake; vanozvininipisa anovashongedza korona noruponeso.
For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.
5 Vatsvene ngavafare nokukudzwa kwake, uye vaimbe nomufaro vari pamibhedha yavo.
Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.
6 Kurumbidzwa kwaMwari ngakuve pamiromo yavo, nomunondo unocheka kwose, mumaoko avo,
May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,
7 kuti vatsive pamusoro pendudzi, uye varange marudzi avanhu,
to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,
8 vasunge madzimambo avo nengetani, namakurukota avo nezvisungo zvamatare,
to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,
9 kuti vaite zvavakatongwa nazvo, zvakanyorwa pamusoro pavo. Ndiko kukudzwa kwavatsvene vose. Rumbidzai Jehovha.
to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
