Psalms 108
1 A Song, a Psalm of David. My heart is fixed, O God: I will sing, yea, I will sing psalms, even [with] my glory.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzambe, motema na ngai ezali na kimia! Nakoyembela Yo, nakosanzola Yo na mindule; ezali mpe lokumu na ngai.
2 Awake, lute and harp: I will wake the dawn.
Lindanda mpe nzenze, bolamuka! Nalingi kolamusa tongo.
3 I will give thee thanks among the peoples, O Jehovah; of thee will I sing psalms among the nations:
Nkolo, nakosanzola Yo kati na bato, nakoyembela Yo kati na bikolo.
4 For thy loving-kindness is great above the heavens, and thy truth is unto the clouds.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali monene koleka Lola, mpe bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na mapata.
5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, and thy glory above all the earth.
Oh Nzambe, tika ete otombolama na likolo ya Lola, mpe nkembo na Yo ezala awa na mokili mobimba!
6 That thy beloved ones may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
Bikisa biso na nguya ya loboko na Yo mpe yanola biso, mpo ete balingami na Yo bakangolama!
7 God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
Nzambe alobaki kati na Esika na Ye ya bule: « Nakolonga! Nakokabola Sishemi mpe nakotia bandelo ya lubwaku ya Sukoti.
8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;
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 my wash-pot; upon Edom will I cast my sandal; over Philistia will I shout aloud.
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 bring me into the strong city? who will lead me unto Edom?
Nani akomema ngai na engumba batonga makasi? Nani akotambolisa ngai kino na Edomi?
11 [Wilt] not [thou], O God, who didst cast us off? and didst not go forth, O God, with our armies?
Ezali Yo te, Nzambe oyo obwakaki biso, Nzambe oyo ozalaki lisusu te kokende bitumba elongo na mampinga na biso!
12 Give us help from trouble; for vain is man's deliverance.
Yaka kosunga biso, kangola biso liboso ya moyini! Pamba te lisungi ya bato ezali pamba.
13 Through God we shall do valiantly; and he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
Elongo na Nzambe, tokosala makambo minene mpe ya kokamwa; ezali Ye nde akonyata banguna na biso.
