< Psalms 92 >
1 It is a good thing to give thanks to Jehovah, and to sing praises to thy name, O Most High,
Nzembo ya koyemba na mokolo ya Saba. Tala ndenge ezali malamu kosanzola Yawe mpe koyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo-Oyo-Oleki-Likolo!
2 to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
Tala ndenge ezali malamu kosakola bolingo na Yo, na tongo, mpe boyengebene na Yo, na butu,
3 with an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery, with a solemn sound upon the harp.
na lindanda ya basinga zomi mpe na nzenze!
4 For thou, Jehovah, have made me glad through thy work. I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
Yawe, misala na Yo esepelisaka ngai! Nagangaka na esengo liboso ya misala ya maboko na Yo.
5 How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
Yawe, misala na Yo ezali minene, mpe makanisi na Yo ezali mozindo!
6 A brutish man knows not, nor does a fool understand this.
Moto ya kilikili ayebaka te, mpe zoba asosolaka eloko moko te.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed forever,
Tango bato mabe bakolaka lokola matiti, mpe bato nyonso ya misala mabe bafulukaka, ezalaka nde mpo ete babebisama libela.
8 but thou, O Jehovah, are on high for evermore.
Kasi Yo, kuna na likolo, ozali Yawe mpo na libela.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Yawe, banguna na Yo, banguna na Yo bakokufa penza; bato nyonso ya misala mabe bakolimwa.
10 But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,
Okomisi ngai makasi lokola mpakasa, opakoli ngai mafuta ya sika.
11 and my eye has seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the evildoers who rise up against me.
Miso na ngai ekomi komona bayini na ngai, mpe matoyi na ngai ekomi koyoka banguna na ngai nyonso, oyo bamibongisa mpo na kosala ngai mabe.
12 A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Bato ya sembo bafulukaka lokola nzete ya mbila, bakolaka lokola nzete ya sedele ya Libani.
13 Men who are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Lokola bapikama ngwi kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, bamonaka bolamu kati na lopango ya Nzambe na biso.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green
Ata bakomi mibange, babotaka kaka, bazalaka kaka makasi mpe kitoko,
15 to show that Jehovah is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
basakolaka: « Yawe azali alima, azali Libanga na biso; kati na Ye, mabe ezali te! »
