Psalms 48
1 For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.
Nkunga bana ba babakala ba Kole. Yave widi wunneni. Ayi lutidi fuana mu tambula minzitusu mu divula di Nzambi eto, mongo andi wunlongo.
2 Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.
Widi wu kitoko mu nangama kuandi, khini yi ntoto wumvimba. Mongo wu Sioni widi banga zitsongi zilutisi nangama zi Zafoni, divula di ntinu wunneni.
3 God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.
Nzambi widi mu zinzo zi divula beni wukimonisa niandi veka mu ba suamunu kiandi ki ngolo.
4 Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.
Mu thangu mintinu mifubikisa zingolo, mu thangu midiatila va kimosi.
5 As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.
Mimona ayi misimina; mitina mu tsisi.
6 They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,
Lukhuku luba buila vana ziphasi ziba mona zidedikini banga mianga mieti mona nketo weka buta.
7 just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.
Ngeyo wuba bunga banga masuwa ma Talisi mabungu mu phemo yeti totukila ku Esite.
8 Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (Selah)
Banga bu tuwila, buawu bobo tumuenini mu divula di Yave, nkua ngolo yoso; mu divula di Nzambi eto: Nzambi wela kuvana luvovomo mu zithangu zioso.
9 God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.
Mu khati nzo aku, a Nzambi, tueti yindula mu diambu di luzolo luaku lu ngolo.
10 As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!
Banga dizina diaku, a Nzambi! Nzitusu aku widi nate mu sukisina ntoto. Koko kuaku ku lubakala kuwedi busonga.
11 Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!
Mongo wu Sioni wulembo moni khini; mala ma Yuda malembo yangalala mu diambu di zinzengolo ziaku.
12 Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.
Ludiata muyenda Sioni ayi lunzungidila, ayi lutanga zinzo ziandi zizangama.
13 Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:
Lutala bumboti ziphangu ziandi; Lufiongunina zinzo ziandi muingi luba samunina kuidi tsungi yinkuiza.
14 “This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”
Bila Nzambi yayi niandi Nzambi eto mu thangu yi kayimani ayi mu zithangu zioso. Niandi wela ba ntuadisi eto nate ku tsuka.
