< Psalms 115 >
1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness.
Na biso te, Yawe, na biso te, kasi pesa nkembo na Kombo na Yo mpo na bolingo mpe boyengebene na Yo.
2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”
Mpo na nini bikolo eloba: « Wapi Nzambe na bango? »
3 Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases.
Nzambe na biso azali na Lola, asalaka nyonso oyo alingi.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
Kasi banzambe na bango ya bikeko ezali ya palata mpe ya wolo, esalema na maboko ya bato.
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;
Ezali na minoko, kasi elobaka te; ezali na miso, kasi emonaka te;
6 they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell;
ezali na matoyi, kasi eyokaka te; ezali na zolo, kasi eyokaka solo te;
7 they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats.
ezali na maboko, kasi esimbaka te; ezali na makolo, kasi etambolaka te. Minoko na yango ebimisaka ata makelele te.
8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.
Bato oyo basalaka yango mpe bato nyonso oyo batielaka yango motema bakokani na yango.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
Bana ya Isalaele, botia elikya kati na Yawe! Azali lisungi mpe nguba na bango.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
Bakitani ya Aron, botia elikya kati na Yawe! Azali lisungi mpe nguba na bino.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield.
Bino bato oyo botosaka Yawe, botia elikya kati na Yawe. Azali lisungi mpe nguba na bango.
12 The LORD is mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron;
Yawe akanisaka biso, akopambola; solo, akopambola bana ya Isalaele, akopambola bakitani ya Aron.
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD— small and great alike.
Akopambola bato oyo batosaka Yawe kobanda na bato pamba kino na bato minene.
14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children.
Tika ete Yawe afulukisa bino, bino mpe bana na bino!
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Tika ete Yawe apambola bino, Ye oyo asala likolo mpe mabele.
16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind.
Likolo ezali likolo ya Yawe; kasi apesa mabele epai ya bato.
17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence.
Ezali te bakufi nde bakumisaka Yawe, pamba te bango nyonso bakendaka na esika ya kimia.
18 But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!
Kasi biso, tokopambola Yawe, kobanda sik’oyo kino libela na libela. Bokumisa Yawe!
