Zaburi 149

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

Praise the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful ones.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him who made them. Let the people 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 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 crowns the humble with salvation.

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

Let the faithful ones rejoice in glory. Let them sing for joy on 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 two-edged sword in their hand;

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

To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments 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 fetters of iron;

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

to execute on them the written judgment. All his faithful ones have this honor. Praise the LORD.
