Mapisarema 149

1 Rumbidzai Jehovha. Imbirai Jehovha rwiyo rutsva, rumbidzo yake paungano yavatsvene.

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

2 Israeri ngavafarire Muiti wavo; vanhu veZioni ngavafarire Mambo wavo.

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Ngavarumbidze zita rake vachitamba, uye vamuridzire nziyo namatambureni nembira.

Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

4 Nokuti Jehovha anofarira vanhu vake; vanozvininipisa anovashongedza korona noruponeso.

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

5 Vatsvene ngavafare nokukudzwa kwake, uye vaimbe nomufaro vari pamibhedha yavo.

Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

6 Kurumbidzwa kwaMwari ngakuve pamiromo yavo, nomunondo unocheka kwose, mumaoko avo,

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 kuti vatsive pamusoro pendudzi, uye varange marudzi avanhu,

To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

8 vasunge madzimambo avo nengetani, namakurukota avo nezvisungo zvamatare,

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 kuti vaite zvavakatongwa nazvo, zvakanyorwa pamusoro pavo. Ndiko kukudzwa kwavatsvene vose. Rumbidzai Jehovha.

To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
