Zaburi 149

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

Alleluia. Sing to the Lord a new song. His praise is in the Church of the saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them, and let the sons of Zion exult in their king.

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

Let them praise his name in chorus. Let them sing psalms to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

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

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

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

The saints will exult in glory. They will rejoice upon their couches.

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

The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords will be in their hands:

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

to obtain vindication among the nations, chastisements among 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 shackles and their nobles with manacles of iron,

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

to obtain judgment over them, as it has been written. This is glory for all his saints. Alleluia.
