Psalms 33
1 [A Psalm] of David. Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; praise becomes the upright.
Bino bato ya sembo, bobeta milolo ya esengo na tina na Yawe! Kokumisa Nzambe ebongi na bato oyo bazali alima.
2 Praise the Lord on the harp; platy to him on a lute of ten strings.
Bosanzola Yawe na nzenze, bosanzola Ye na lindanda ya basinga zomi.
3 Sing to him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
Boyembela Yawe nzembo ya sika, bobetisa bibetelo mindule elongo na koganga ya esengo.
4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are faithful.
Pamba te Liloba na Yawe ezali alima, misala na Ye nyonso ekokisamaka na boyengebene.
5 He loves mercy and judgement; the earth is full the mercy of the Lord.
Yawe alingaka bosembo mpe alima; mokili etondi na bolingo na Ye.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the host of them by the breath of his [mouth].
Likolo ekelamaki na Liloba na Yawe; mampinga na yango nyonso, na nzela ya pema ya monoko na Ye.
7 Who gathers the waters of the sea as [in] a bottle; who lays up the deeps in treasuries.
Asangisaka mayi ya bibale minene esika moko, mpe atiaka yango na bisika ya mozindo.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; and let all that dwell in the world be moved because of him.
Tika ete mokili mobimba etosa Yawe! Tika ete bavandi nyonso ya mokili balenga liboso na Ye.
9 For he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
Pamba te alobaki, mpe likambo esalemaki; mpe apesaki mitindo, mpe emonanaki.
10 The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.
Yawe akweyisaka mikano ya bikolo, abebisaka mabongisi ya bato.
11 But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
Kasi mikano ya Yawe etikalaka mpo na seko, mabongisi ya motema na Ye, mpo na bikeke nyonso.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
Esengo na ekolo oyo Yawe azali Nzambe na yango. Esengo na bato oyo aponaki mpo na libula na Ye.
13 The Lord looks out of heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
Yawe atalaka wuta na likolo, amonaka bana nyonso ya bato.
14 He looks from his prepared habitation on all the dwellers on the earth;
Wuta na evandelo na Ye, atalaka bavandi nyonso ya mokili.
15 who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.
Ye oyo asalaka mitema nyonso ya bato asosolaka makambo nyonso oyo basalaka.
16 A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.
Ezali te limpinga monene nde ebikisaka mokonzi to nguya monene nde ekangolaka elombe.
17 A horse is vain for safety; neither shall he be delivered by the greatness of his power.
Mpunda ezali na nguya te ya kopesa lobiko, makasi na yango nyonso ekangolaka te.
18 Behold, the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him, those that hope in his mercy;
Nzokande Yawe atalaka bato oyo batosaka Ye, ba-oyo batiaka elikya na bolingo kati na Ye,
19 to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
mpo na kokangola bango na kufa mpe kobatela bango na bomoi ata na tango ya nzala makasi.
20 Our soul waits on the Lord; for he is our helper and defender.
Totielaka Yawe motema; azali lisungi mpe nguba na biso.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in him, and we have hoped in his holy name.
Solo, mitema na biso esepelaka kati na Ye, pamba te totiaka elikya na biso kati na Kombo na Ye ya bule.
22 Let your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have hoped in you.
Yawe, lokola totiaka elikya na biso kati na Yo, tika ete bolingo na Yo ezala elongo na biso.
