Psalms 146

1 Alleluia. Of Haggai and Zachariah.

Bokumisa Yawe! Oh molimo na ngai, kumisa Yawe!

2 Praise the Lord, O my soul. I will praise the Lord with my life. I will sing psalms to my God as long as I shall be. Do not trust in the leaders,

Nakokumisa Yawe bomoi na ngai mobimba, nakosanzola Nzambe na ngai tango nyonso nakozala na bomoi.

3 in the sons of men, in whom there is no salvation.

Botia elikya te na bakambi to na bato oyo bazangi makoki ya kobikisa.

4 His spirit will depart, and he will return to his earth. In that day, all their thoughts will perish.

Soki bakufi, bazongaka na mabele, mpe, mbala moko, mabongisi na bango elimwaka.

5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: his hope is in the Lord God himself,

Esengo na moto oyo Nzambe ya Jakobi azali mosungi na ye, oyo atiaka elikya na ye kati na Yawe, Nzambe na ye!

6 who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.

Yawe akelaki Likolo mpe mabele, ebale monene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango; azali sembo seko na seko.

7 He preserves the truth forever. He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. He provides food for the hungry. The Lord releases those who are bound.

Yawe akataka na sembo makambo ya banyokolami mpe apesaka bilei na bato oyo bazali na nzala; abimisaka bakangami na boloko.

8 The Lord enlightens the blind. The Lord sets upright those who have been thrown down. The Lord loves the just.

Yawe abikisaka miso ya bakufi miso; Yawe asembolaka bato oyo bazali ya kogumbama; Yawe alingaka bato ya sembo.

9 The Lord watches over new arrivals. He will support the orphan and the widow. And he will destroy the ways of sinners.

Yawe abatelaka bapaya, asungaka mwana etike mpe mwasi oyo akufisa mobali, kasi abebisaka banzela ya bato mabe.

10 The Lord shall reign forever: your God, O Zion, from generation to generation.

Yawe azali Mokonzi seko na seko; Nzambe na yo, oh Siona, libela na libela! Bokumisa Yawe!
