Psalms 149

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

Praise ye the LORD. Sing to the LORD a new song, [and] his praise in the congregation of saints.

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

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion 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 praises to him with the timbrel and harp:

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

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

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.

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

[Let] the high [praises] of God [be] in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;

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

To execute vengeance upon the heathen, [and] punishments upon the people;

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 upon them the judgment written: this honor have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
