Psalms 146

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise thou the Lord, O my soule.

Bokumisa Yawe! Oh molimo na ngai, kumisa Yawe!

2 I will prayse the Lord during my life: as long as I haue any being, I wil sing vnto my God.

Nakokumisa Yawe bomoi na ngai mobimba, nakosanzola Nzambe na ngai tango nyonso nakozala na bomoi.

3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the sonne of man, for there is none helpe in him.

Botia elikya te na bakambi to na bato oyo bazangi makoki ya kobikisa.

4 His breath departeth, and he returneth to his earth: then his thoughtes perish.

Soki bakufi, bazongaka na mabele, mpe, mbala moko, mabongisi na bango elimwaka.

5 Blessed is he, that hath the God of Iaakob for his helpe, whose hope is in the Lord his God.

Esengo na moto oyo Nzambe ya Jakobi azali mosungi na ye, oyo atiaka elikya na ye kati na Yawe, Nzambe na ye!

6 Which made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth his fidelitie for euer:

Yawe akelaki Likolo mpe mabele, ebale monene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango; azali sembo seko na seko.

7 Which executeth iustice for the oppressed: which giueth bread to the hungry: the Lord loseth the prisoners.

Yawe akataka na sembo makambo ya banyokolami mpe apesaka bilei na bato oyo bazali na nzala; abimisaka bakangami na boloko.

8 The Lord giueth sight to the blinde: the Lord rayseth vp the crooked: the Lord loueth the righteous.

Yawe abikisaka miso ya bakufi miso; Yawe asembolaka bato oyo bazali ya kogumbama; Yawe alingaka bato ya sembo.

9 The Lord keepeth the strangers: he relieueth the fatherlesse and widowe: but he ouerthroweth the way of the wicked.

Yawe abatelaka bapaya, asungaka mwana etike mpe mwasi oyo akufisa mobali, kasi abebisaka banzela ya bato mabe.

10 The Lord shall reigne for euer: O Zion, thy God endureth from generation to generation. Prayse ye the Lord.

Yawe azali Mokonzi seko na seko; Nzambe na yo, oh Siona, libela na libela! Bokumisa Yawe!
