Psalms 48
1 A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.
Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Yawe azali monene mpe abongi na lokumu, kati na engumba ya Nzambe na biso, ngomba na Ye ya bule.
2 Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.
Ezali kitoko, ngomba moke oyo esalaka esengo ya mokili mobimba, ngomba Siona! Ngambo na yango ya Nor nde ezali engumba ya Mokonzi Monene.
3 God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.
Nzambe azali kati na bandako na yango ya bokonzi, amimonisi lokola ndako batonga makasi.
4 For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.
Pamba te bakonzi basanganaki, batambolaki nzela moko.
5 They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.
Kasi tango kaka bamonaki yango, bakamwaki mpe bakimaki na somo.
6 Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.
Mbala moko, bakomaki kolenga wana lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota
7 With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.
to lokola mopepe ya Este oyo apanzaka masuwa ya Tarsisi.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.
Ndenge kaka bayebisaki biso, ndenge mpe tomonaki kati na engumba ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, kati na engumba ya Nzambe na biso; Nzambe alendisaka yango seko na seko.
9 Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.
Nzambe, kati na Tempelo na Yo, tokanisaka bolingo na Yo.
10 Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.
Nzambe, lokumu na Yo epanzani kino na suka ya mokili, ndenge moko na Kombo na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali etondi na bosembo.
11 Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.
Ngomba ya Siona ezali kosepela, bamboka ya Yuda etondi na esengo mpo na mikano na Yo.
12 March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,
Botambola pembeni ya Siona, bokende zingazinga na yango, botanga bandako na yango ya milayi.
13 consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.
Botala lopango na yango, botala malamu bandako na yango mpo ete bopesa sango epai ya bato oyo bakoya na sima.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
Pamba te Nzambe wana azali Nzambe na biso seko na seko mpe libela na libela; akotambolisa biso, ezala kino na kufa.
