Zaburi 149

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

Praise ye the LORD! Sing unto 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 him that made him; 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 praise him with the timbrel and harp!

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people; He will beautify the distressed with salvation.

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

Let the godly-rejoice in their 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 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 upon the nations, And punishment upon 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 sentence which is written: This honor have all his godly ones. Praise ye the LORD!
