< Psalms 21 >
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, mokonzi azali kosepela na nguya na Yo; Tala ndenge nini elonga oyo opesi ye epesi ye esengo monene!
2 You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.
Okokisi posa ya motema na ye mpe opimeli ye te oyo azalaki kosenga Yo.
3 You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.
Oyei epai na ye na mapamboli ya motuya. Na moto na ye, olatisi ye motole ya wolo oyo basangisa na eloko mosusu.
4 He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.
Asengaki Yo bomoi, mpe opesaki ye yango; opesaki ye bomoi molayi mpe ya libela na libela.
5 Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.
Nkembo na ye ezali monene mpo na lobiko oyo opesaki ye; olatisaki ye na kongenga mpe na lokumu.
6 You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.
Solo, okomisi ye etima ya mapamboli ya seko na seko; okomisaki ye moto ya esengo na miso na Yo.
7 For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.
Mokonzi atiaka elikya na Yawe, aninganaka te mpo na bolingo ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo.
8 You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.
Loboko na Yo ekokanga banguna na Yo nyonso; loboko na Yo ya mobali ekokanga bayini na Yo.
9 When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.
Tango okomimonisa, okokomisa bango lokola fulu ya moto. Yawe akosilisa koboma bango na kanda na Ye, mpe moto ekozikisa bango.
10 You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.
Okolimwisa mabota na bango na mokili, mpe bakitani na bango, kati na bana ya bato.
11 Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.
Atako bakani kosala Yo mabe, atako basali mabongisi ya mabe mpo na kotelemela Yo, bakotikala kolonga ata moke te;
12 They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.
pamba te okobengana bango tango okobwakela bango bambanzi ya tolotolo na Yo.
13 Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
Yawe, telema na nguya na Yo! Tokoyemba nguya na Yo na nzela ya banzembo.
