Zaburi 149

1 Msifuni Yahwe. Mwimbieni Yahwe wimbo mpya; imbeni sifa zake katika kusanyiko la waaminifu.

Praise ye Jehovah. Sing to Jehovah a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the sanctified.

2 Israeli ishangilie katika yeye aliye iumba; watu wa Sayuni na washangilie katika mfalme wao.

Let Israel rejoice in him who made him. Let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Nao walisifu jina lake kwa kucheza; na wamuimbie sifa yeye kwa ngoma na kinubi.

Let them praise his name in the dance. Let them sing praises to him with timbrel and harp.

4 Kwa kuwa Yahwe hupata furaha katika watu wake; huwapa utukufu wanyeyekevu kwa wokovu.

For Jehovah takes pleasure in his people. He will beautify the meek with salvation.

5 Wacha Mungu wauchangilie ushindi; nao waimbe kwa furaha vitandani mwao.

Let the sanctified exult in glory. Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

6 Sifa za Mungu na ziwe vinywani mwao na panga mbili zenye makali mkononi mwao

The high praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand

7 kutekeleza kisasi juu ya mataifa na matendo ya adhabu juu ya watu.

to execute vengeance upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples,

8 Nao watawafunga wafalme wao kwa minyororo na wakuu wao kwa pingu za chuma. Watatekeleza hukumu ambayo imeandikwa.

to bind their kings with chains, and their ranking men with fetters of iron,

9 Hii itakuwa ni heshima kwa ajili ya watakatifu wake wote. Msifuni Yahwe.

to execute upon them the judgment written. All his sanctified have this honor. Praise ye Jehovah.
