Zaburi 149

1 Msifuni Bwana. Mwimbieni Bwana wimbo mpya, sifa zake katika kusanyiko la watakatifu.

Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

2 Israeli na washangilie katika Muumba wao, watu wa Sayuni na wafurahi katika Mfalme wao.

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

3 Na walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza na wampigie muziki kwa matari na kinubi.

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

4 Kwa maana Bwana anapendezwa na watu wake, anawavika wanyenyekevu taji ya wokovu.

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

5 Watakatifu washangilie katika heshima hii, na waimbe kwa shangwe vitandani mwao.

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

6 Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na upanga ukatao kuwili mikononi mwao,

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

7 ili walipize mataifa kisasi na adhabu juu ya mataifa,

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples,

8 wawafunge wafalme wao kwa minyororo, wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma,

to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with shackles of iron,

9 ili kuwafanyia hukumu iliyoandikwa dhidi yao. Huu ndio utukufu wa watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Bwana.

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
