Zaburi 149

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

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

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

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful 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 sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

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

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

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

Let the godly 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,

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

7 ili walipize mataifa kisasi na adhabu juu ya mataifa,

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

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

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

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

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