Zaburi 149

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

Praise YAH! Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise in an assembly of saints.

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

Israel rejoices in his Maker, Sons of Zion rejoice in their king.

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

They praise His Name in a dance, Sing praise to Him with timbrel and harp.

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

For YHWH is pleased with His people, He beautifies the humble with salvation.

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

Saints exult in glory, They sing aloud on their beds.

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

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

7 ili walipize mataifa kisasi na adhabu juu ya mataifa,

To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the peoples.

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

To bind their kings with chains, And their honored ones with chains of iron,

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

To do among them the judgment written, It [is] an honor for all his saints. Praise YAH!
