< Psalms 99 >
1 A Psalm of David himself. The Lord has reigned: let the peoples be angry. He sits upon the cherubim: let the earth be moved.
Yawe azali kokonza; tika ete bato balenga! Avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi kati na basheribe; tika ete mabele eningana!
2 The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high above all peoples.
Yawe azali monene kati na Siona, mpe Bokonzi na Ye ezali likolo ya bikolo nyonso.
3 May they confess to your great name, for it is terrible and holy.
Tika ete Kombo na Yo ya monene mpe ya somo esanzolama; ezali bule!
4 And the honor of the king loves judgment. You have prepared guidance. You have accomplished judgment and justice in Jacob.
Mokonzi azali na nguya, alingaka bosolo. Olendisaka bosembo. Osalaki bosembo mpe bosolo kati na Jakobi.
5 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore the footstool of his feet, for it is holy.
Bonetola Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe bogumbama liboso ya enyatelo makolo na Ye; azali Mosantu.
6 Moses and Aaron are among his priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heeded them.
Moyize mpe Aron kati na Banganga-Nzambe na Ye, mpe Samuele kati na bato oyo bazalaki kobelela Kombo na Ye, bazalaki kobelela Yawe, mpe Ye azalaki koyanola bango.
7 He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies and the precept that he gave them.
Azalaki koloba na bango kati na likonzi ya lipata. Babatelaki malako na Ye mpe mibeko oyo apesaki bango.
8 You heeded them, O Lord our God. You were a forgiving God to them, though taking vengeance on all their inventions.
Yawe, Nzambe na biso, oyanolaki bango. Mpo na bango, ozalaki Nzambe oyo alimbisaka atako opesaki bango etumbu mpo na misala na bango ya mabe.
9 Exalt the Lord our God, and adore on his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy.
Bonetola Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe bogumbama na kotala na ngambo ya ngomba na Ye ya bule. Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, azali bule.
