Psalms 108
1 A Canticle Psalm, of David himself. My heart is prepared, O God, my heart is prepared. I will sing songs, and I will sing psalms in my glory.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzambe, motema na ngai ezali na kimia! Nakoyembela Yo, nakosanzola Yo na mindule; ezali mpe lokumu na ngai.
2 Rise up, my glory. Rise up, Psalter and harp. I will arise in early morning.
Lindanda mpe nzenze, bolamuka! Nalingi kolamusa tongo.
3 I will confess to you, O Lord, among the peoples. And I will sing psalms to you among the nations.
Nkolo, nakosanzola Yo kati na bato, nakoyembela Yo kati na bikolo.
4 For your mercy is great, beyond the heavens, and your truth, even to the clouds.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali monene koleka Lola, mpe bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na mapata.
5 Be exalted, O God, beyond the heavens, and your glory, beyond all the earth,
Oh Nzambe, tika ete otombolama na likolo ya Lola, mpe nkembo na Yo ezala awa na mokili mobimba!
6 so that your beloved may be freed. Save with your right hand, and heed me.
Bikisa biso na nguya ya loboko na Yo mpe yanola biso, mpo ete balingami na Yo bakangolama!
7 God has spoken in his holiness. I will exult, and I will divide Shechem, and I will divide by measure the steep valley of tabernacles.
Nzambe alobaki kati na Esika na Ye ya bule: « Nakolonga! Nakokabola Sishemi mpe nakotia bandelo ya lubwaku ya Sukoti.
8 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the supporter of my head. Judah is my king.
Galadi ezali ya ngai, Manase mpe ezali ya ngai; Efrayimi ezali ekoti na ngai ya ebende, mpe Yuda ezali lingenda na ngai ya bokonzi.
9 Moab is the cooking pot of my hope. I will extend my shoe in Idumea; the foreigners have become my friends.
Moabi ezali sani monene oyo nasukolelaka, Edomi ezali esika oyo nabwakaka sandale na ngai. Nazali kobeta milolo ya bitumba mpo na kobundisa mokili ya Filisitia. »
10 Who will lead me into the fortified city? Who will lead me, even into Idumea?
Nani akomema ngai na engumba batonga makasi? Nani akotambolisa ngai kino na Edomi?
11 Will not you, O God, who had rejected us? And will not you, O God, go out with our armies?
Ezali Yo te, Nzambe oyo obwakaki biso, Nzambe oyo ozalaki lisusu te kokende bitumba elongo na mampinga na biso!
12 Grant us help from tribulation, for vain is the help of man.
Yaka kosunga biso, kangola biso liboso ya moyini! Pamba te lisungi ya bato ezali pamba.
13 In God, we will act virtuously, and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
Elongo na Nzambe, tokosala makambo minene mpe ya kokamwa; ezali Ye nde akonyata banguna na biso.
