Zaburi 149

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

Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song— His praise in the assembly of the godly.

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

Let Israel rejoice in their Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King.

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

Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to Him with tambourine and harp.

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

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the afflicted with salvation.

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

Let the saints exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

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

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a double-edged sword in their hands,

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

to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on 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 nobles with shackles of iron,

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

to execute the judgment written against them. This honor is for all His saints. Hallelujah!
