Mapisarema 149

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

Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

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

Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in their king.

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

They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp sing praise to Him.

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

For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the humble with salvation.

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

Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a two-edged sword in their hand.

7 kuti vatsive pamusoro pendudzi, uye varange marudzi avanhu,

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

8 vasunge madzimambo avo nengetani, namakurukota avo nezvisungo zvamatare,

To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones with fetters of iron,

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

To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is] for all his saints. Praise ye Jah!
