Zaburi 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song: his praise is in the assembly of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; and let the children of Sion exult in their king.

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

Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sings praises to him with timbrel and psaltery.

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

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; and will exalt the meek with salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory; and shall exult on their beds.

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

The high praises of God shall be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands;

7 ili walipize mataifa kisasi na adhabu juu ya mataifa,

to execute vengeance on the nations, [and] punishments among the peoples;

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

to bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron; to execute on them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.

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