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

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

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

Let Israel rejoice in its maker, sons of Zion exult in their king.

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

Let them praise his name in the dance, making music with lyre and with timbrel.

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

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

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

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

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

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

7 kuti vatsive pamusoro pendudzi, uye varange marudzi avanhu,

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

8 vasunge madzimambo avo nengetani, namakurukota avo nezvisungo zvamatare,

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