Psalms 149

1 Luzitisa Yave; luyimbidila Yave nkunga wumona; nzitusu andi mu lukutukunu lu banlongo.

Praise Adonai! Sing to Adonai a new song, his tehilah ·praise song· in the assembly of the saints.

2 Bika Iseli kamona khini mu diambu di mvangi awu Bika batu ba Sioni bayangalala mu diambu di ntinu awu.

Let Israel [God prevails] rejoice in him who made them. Let the children of Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking] be joyful in their King.

3 Bika bazitisa dizina diandi mu makinu; ayi bansikila miziki mu ndungu ayi mu ngitala,

Let them praise his name in the dance! Let them sing zahmar ·musical praise· to him with tambourine and harp!

4 bila Yave weti yangalala mu batu bandi, weti vuatisa phulusu kuidi batu beti kukikula.

For Adonai takes pleasure in his people. He crowns the humble with yishu'ah ·salvation·.

5 Bika banlongo bamoma khan mu diambu di nzitusu wawu; ayi bayimbila mu khan mu zimbuka ziawu.

Let the saints rejoice in kavod ·weighty glory·. Let them sing for joy on their beds.

6 Bika minzitusu mi Nzambi miba mu miunu miawu ayi sabala kidi meno mu zindambu zioso mu mioko miawu;

May the high praises of God be in their mouths, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

7 mu diambu di vutula landi kuidi makanda ayi mu vana batu thumbudulu;

To execute vengeance on the nations, and punishments on the peoples;

8 mu diambu di kanga mintinu miawu mu zisieni ayi batu bawu banneni mu bisengo;

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 mu diambu di dukisa nzengolo yoyi yisonama mu diambu diawu; wawu wawu nkembo wu banlongo bandi boso. Luzitisa Yave.

to execute on them the written judgment. All his saints have this honor. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
