Zaburi 149

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

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: let his praise be in the church 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 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 choir: let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

For the Lord is well pleased with his people: and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

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

The saints shall rejoice in glory: they shall be joyful in their beds.

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

The high praise of God shall be in their mouth: and two-edged swords in their hands:

7 ili walipize mataifa kisasi na adhabu juu ya mataifa,

To execute vengeance upon the nations, chastisements among the people:

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.

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

To execute upon them the judgment that is written: this glory is to all his saints. Alleluia.
