Zaburi 149

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

Praise Yahweh. Sing to Yahweh a new song; sing 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 the one who made them; let the people 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; 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 Yahweh takes pleasure in his people; he glorifies the humble with salvation.

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

Let the godly rejoice in victory; 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 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 acts of punishment on the peoples.

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

They will bind their kings with chains and their nobles with iron shackles.

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

They will execute the judgment that is written. This will be an honor for all his faithful ones. Praise Yahweh.
