< Psalms 68 >
1 To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm: a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered, and let them that hate him flee before him.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Loyembo. Soki Nzambe atelemi, banguna na Ye bapalanganaka, mpe bayini na Ye bakimaka mosika na Ye.
2 As smoke is driven, thou wilt drive them away; as wax melteth before the fire, the wicked shall perish at the presence of God.
Liboso ya Nzambe, bato mabe bakufaka, ndenge milinga elimwaka, mpe mafuta enyangwamaka na moto.
3 But the righteous shall rejoice: they shall exult before God and be glad with joy.
Liboso ya Nzambe, bato ya sembo basepelaka, batondaka na esengo.
4 Sing unto God, sing forth his name; cast up a way for him that rideth in the deserts: his name is Jah; and rejoice before him.
Boyembela Nzambe, boyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye. Bofungola nzela mpo na Ye oyo atambolisaka mampinga na Ye kati na esobe. Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe. Botonda na esengo liboso na Ye.
5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
Kati na Ndako na Ye ya bule, Nzambe azali Tata ya bana bitike, mpe molobeli ya basi bakufisa mibali.
6 God maketh the solitary into families; those that were bound he bringeth out into prosperity: but the rebellious dwell in a parched [land].
Nzambe apesaka libota epai ya bato oyo bavandaka bango moko, abimisaka bakangami wuta na minyololo; kasi batomboki batikalaka na mabele ekawuka.
7 O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness (Selah)
Oh Nzambe, tango obimaki liboso ya bato na Yo, tango otambolaki na esobe,
8 The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God, yon Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
mabele eninganaki, likolo mpe esopaki mayi liboso ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya Sinai; liboso ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
9 Thou, O God, didst pour a plentiful rain upon thine inheritance, and when it was weary thou strengthenedst it.
Nzambe, osopaki mvula ya mapamboli, olendisaki libula na Yo mpo ete elembaki.
10 Thy flock hath dwelt therein: thou hast prepared in thy goodness, for the afflicted, O God!
Oh Nzambe, bato na Yo bavandaka na mokili oyo obongisaki, na boboto na Yo, mpo na mobola.
11 The Lord gives the word: great the host of the publishers.
Na liloba moko kowuta na Nkolo, basi oyo bamemaka sango basangani bato ebele,
12 Kings of armies flee; they flee, and she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
bakonzi ya mampinga bakimi, bapoti mbangu, mpe mwasi oyo atikali na ndako akaboli bomengo ya bitumba.
13 Though ye have lain among the sheepfolds, [ye shall be as] wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with green gold.
Boni, bokokoba kolala pongi kati na bandako na bino? Mapapu ya ebenga ezipami na se ya palata, mpe bansala na yango ezipami na se ya wolo.
14 When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it became snow-white as Zalmon.
Tango Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso abenganaki kuna bakonzi, anokisaki mvula ya pembe na ngomba Tsalimoni.
15 [As] mount Bashan is the mount of God, a many-peaked mountain, [as] mount Bashan.
Ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya Nzambe; ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya basonge ebele,
16 Why do ye look with envy, ye many-peaked mountains, upon the mount that God hath desired for his abode? yea, Jehovah will dwell [there] for ever.
mpo na nini ozali kosala zuwa, ngomba ya basonge ebele, ngomba oyo Nzambe asepelaka kovanda? Nzokande Yawe akovanda kuna libela na libela.
17 The chariots of God are twenty thousand, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them: it is a Sinai in holiness.
Motango ya bashar ya Nzambe ezali ebele, koleka minkoko; Nkolo azali kati na yango, kuna na Sinai, kati na Esika ya bule.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts in Man, and even [for] the rebellious, for the dwelling [there] of Jah Elohim.
Yawe Nzambe, tango omataki na likolo, omemaki bakangami, ozwaki makabo epai ya bato, ata epai ya batomboki, mpo ete okoma kovanda kuna.
19 Blessed be the Lord: day by day doth he load us [with good], the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
Tika ete Nkolo akumisama, mokolo na mokolo! Nzambe Mobikisi na biso alataka makambo na biso.
20 Our God is the God of salvation; and with Jehovah, the Lord, are the goings forth [even] from death.
Mpo na biso, Nzambe yango azali Nzambe oyo abikisaka; mpe bikuke ya kufa ezali ya Nkolo Yawe.
21 Verily God will smite the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of him that goeth on still in his trespasses.
Solo, Nzambe apanzaka mito ya banguna na Ye, oyo batambolaka kati na bomoi ya masumu, oyo mito na bango etonda na suki.
22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depth of the sea;
Nkolo alobi: « Wuta na Bashani, nakomema bango; wuta na mozindo ya ebale monene, nakomema bango,
23 That thou mayest dip thy foot in blood: the tongue of thy dogs has its portion from enemies.
mpo ete opanza lokolo na yo kati na makila, mpe mpo ete lolemo ya bambwa na yo ezwa eteni na yango. »
24 They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
Oh Nzambe, bazali komona ndenge ozali koya; koya ya Nzambe na ngai, ya Mokonzi na ngai, kati na Esika ya bule.
25 The singers went before, the players on stringed instruments after, in the midst of maidens playing on tabrets.
Bayembi bazali liboso; sima na bango, bato oyo bazali kobeta mandanda ya basinga kati na bilenge basi oyo bazali kobeta bambonda ya mike.
26 In the congregations bless ye God, the Lord, — [ye] from the fountain of Israel.
Bopambola Nzambe kati na mayangani, bopambola Yawe wuta na etima ya Isalaele.
27 There is little Benjamin, their ruler; the princes of Judah, their company; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
Kuna, Benjame, leki ya suka, azali kotambolisa bakambi ya Yuda elongo na mampinga na bango, bakambi ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali.
28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
Nzambe na yo apesi mitindo epai ya makasi na yo; zala makasi. Nzambe, osaleli biso penza makambo.
29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.
Wuta na Tempelo na Yo ya Yelusalemi epai wapi bakonzi bamemelaka Yo makabo,
30 Rebuke the beast of the reeds, the assembly of the strong, with the calves of the peoples: [every one] submitteth himself with pieces of silver. Scatter the peoples that delight in war.
bengana ngando oyo ebombami kati na matiti, lisanga ya bangombe ya mibali elongo na bana ngombe ya bikolo oyo batambolaka kati na mbongo ya bibende ya palata, mpe panza bikolo oyo basepelaka na bitumba.
31 Great ones shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall quickly stretch out her hands unto God.
Bazwi bakobimela na Ejipito; bato ya Kushi bakoya na lombangu, bakotombola maboko epai ya Nzambe.
32 Ye kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing psalms of the Lord, (Selah)
Bino, babokonzi ya mabele, boyembela Nzambe; boyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu ya Nkolo!
33 Of him that rideth upon the heavens, the heavens which are of old: lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
Boyembela Ye oyo atambolisaka mampinga kati na likolo, likolo ya libela; oyo, wuta na mongongo na Ye, agangaka makasi.
34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
Bosakola ete nguya ezali ya Nzambe oyo nkembo na Ye ezali na Isalaele, mpe nguya na Ye ezali kati na mapata.
35 Terrible art thou, O God, out of thy sanctuaries, — the God of Israel! He it is that giveth strength and might unto the people. Blessed be God!
Nzambe, wuta kati na bisika na Yo ya bule, obongi na botosi! Nzambe ya Isalaele apesaka na bato na Ye makasi mpe nguya. Tika ete Nzambe akumisama!
