Psalms 97
1 The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.
Yawe azali kokonza! Tika ete mabele esepela; tika ete ebele ya bisanga ezala na esengo!
2 Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.
Mapata mpe molili makasi ezingeli Ye, bosembo mpe bosolo ezali miboko ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi.
3 Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.
Moto etambolaka liboso na Ye, ezikisaka banguna na Ye, oyo bazingeli Ye.
4 His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.
Mikalikali na Ye engengisaka mokili; mpe tango mabele emonaka bongo, elengaka.
5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
Bangomba enyangwamaka lokola mafuta liboso ya Yawe, liboso ya Nkolo ya mokili mobimba.
6 The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.
Likolo epanzaka sango ya bosembo na Ye, mpe bikolo nyonso bamonaka nkembo na Ye.
7 All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
Tika ete soni ekanga basambeli nyonso ya bikeko, bato oyo bamikumisaka mpo na banzambe ya lokuta! Bino banzambe nyonso, bogumbama liboso na Ye!
8 Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
Yawe, Siona eyoki yango mpe esepeli; bingumba ya Yuda ezali na esengo mpo na mikano na Yo!
9 For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
Pamba te, na mokili mobimba, Yo nde Yawe, ozali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo; oleki banzambe nyonso.
10 Hate evil, O you who love the LORD! He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Bino bato oyo bolingaka Yawe, boyina mabe! Yawe abatelaka bomoi ya bayengebene na Ye mpe akangolaka bango na maboko ya bato mabe.
11 Light shines on the righteous, gladness on the upright in heart.
Moyi elonami mpo na moto ya sembo, mpe esengo, mpo na bato oyo bazali na mitema alima.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, you righteous ones, and praise His holy name.
Bino bato ya sembo, bosepela kati na Yawe; bosanzola Ye na kotatola bosantu na Ye.
