< Psalms 135 >
1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord's reputation! Praise the Lord, all you servants of the Lord
Bokumisa Yawe! Bokumisa Kombo ya Yawe! Bokumisa Ye, bino basali ya Yawe,
2 who worship in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God.
oyo botelemaka kati na Ndako ya Yawe, kati na lopango ya Ndako ya Nzambe na biso!
3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good; sing praises to his character because it is wonderful!
Bokumisa Yawe! Pamba te Yawe azali malamu! Boyembela Kombo na Ye, pamba te ezali kitoko makasi.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel as his very own.
Pamba te Yawe aponaki Jakobi, Isalaele, mpo ete azala ya Ye moko.
5 I know how great the Lord is—our Lord is greater than all gods.
Solo, ngai nayebi malamu ete Yawe azali monene, ete Nkolo na biso aleki banzambe nyonso.
6 The Lord does whatever he wants throughout heaven and earth, on the seas and in the ocean depths.
Yawe asalaka nyonso oyo alingi, kuna na likolo mpe awa na mabele, kati na bibale minene mpe kati na mozindo nyonso.
7 He causes the clouds to rise all over the earth, he makes lightning flash and give rain, he sends the winds from his storehouses.
Amatisaka mapata wuta na suka ya mokili, atindaka mikalikali elongo na mvula, abimisaka mopepe wuta na bibombelo na yango.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both human and animal.
Ye nde abomaki bana ya liboso ya Ejipito, kobanda na bato kino na banyama;
9 He did wonderful miracles among you in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.
atindaki bilembo ya kokamwa mpe bikamwa kati na yo, Ejipito, mpo na kotelemela Faraon mpe basali na ye nyonso;
10 He struck down many nations, he killed powerful kings, such as
abebisaki bikolo ebele mpe abomaki bakonzi ya nguya:
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, Og, king of Bashan, and all the kings who ruled in Canaan.
Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori; Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani; mpe bakonzi nyonso ya Kanana.
12 He handed over their lands to Israel, his special people, for them to possess.
Mpe akabaki mikili na bango lokola libula, lokola libula epai ya bato na Ye, Isalaele.
13 Your reputation, Lord, stands forever; you, Lord, are remembered for all generations.
Oh Yawe, sango ya Kombo na Yo ewumelaka libela na libela! Yawe, bakopanza sango ya Kombo na Yo seko na seko!
14 The Lord will vindicate his people; he will show compassion to those who follow him.
Pamba te Yawe akolimbisa bato na Ye, akoyokela basali na Ye mawa.
15 The idols of the foreign nations are only objects of silver and gold, made by human hands.
Banzambe ya bikolo ezali ya palata mpe ya wolo, esalema na maboko ya bato.
16 They have mouths, but can't speak; they have eyes, but can't see.
Ezali na minoko, kasi elobaka te; ezali na miso, kasi emonaka te;
17 They have ears, but can't hear; they can't even breathe!
ezali na matoyi, kasi eyokaka te; ezali ata na pema te kati na minoko na yango.
18 Those who make idols will become just like them, and so will everyone who trusts in them.
Bato oyo basalaka yango mpe bato nyonso oyo batielaka yango motema bakokani na yango.
19 People of Israel, praise the Lord! Descendants of Aaron, praise the Lord!
Bato ya Isalaele, bopambola Yawe! Bakitani ya Aron, bopambola Yawe!
20 Levites, praise the Lord! Everyone who worships the Lord, praise the Lord!
Bakitani ya Levi, bopambola Yawe! Bino nyonso oyo botosaka Yawe, bopambola Yawe!
21 Praise the Lord from Zion, for he lives in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!
Tika ete, wuta na Siona, Yawe apambolama, Ye oyo avandaka na Yelusalemi! Bokumisa Yawe!
