Psalms 132
1 A Song of Ascents. LORD, remember unto David all his affliction;
Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Yawe, kanisa Davidi; kanisa pasi na ye nyonso!
2 How he swore unto the LORD, and vowed unto the Mighty One of Jacob:
Alapaki ndayi oyo epai na Yawe, epai ya Elombe ya Jakobi:
3 'Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me;
« Nakokota na ndako na ngai te, nakomata na mbeto na ngai te,
4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor slumber to mine eyelids;
nakokanga miso na ngai te mpo na kolala pongi to mpo na konimba mwa moke
5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Jacob.'
kino nakozwa Esika mpo na Yawe, Ndako mpo na Elombe ya Jakobi. »
6 Lo, we heard of it as being in Ephrath; we found it in the field of the wood.
Toyokaki sango na tina na yango na Efrata, tomonaki yango na elanga ya Yari.
7 Let us go into His dwelling-place; let us worship at His footstool.
Tokende na Ndako na Ye, togumbama liboso ya enyatelo makolo na yango.
8 Arise, O LORD, unto Thy resting-place; Thou, and the ark of Thy strength.
Yawe, telema, yaka na Esika na Yo ya bopemi! Yaka elongo na Sanduku ya Boyokani epai wapi nguya na Yo ezali.
9 Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let Thy saints shout for joy.
Tika ete Banganga-Nzambe na Yo balata bosembo lokola elamba; mpe tika ete basantu na Yo baganga na esengo!
10 For Thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of Thine anointed.
Mpo na Davidi, mosali na Yo, kobengana mopakolami na Yo te!
11 The LORD swore unto David in truth; He will not turn back from it: 'Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
Yawe alapaki epai ya Davidi ndayi ya solo, oyo akowangana te: « Nakotia moko kati na bakitani na yo na kiti na yo ya bokonzi.
12 If thy children keep My covenant and My testimony that I shall teach them, their children also for ever shall sit upon thy throne.'
Soki bana na yo babateli boyokani mpe mibeko na ngai, bana na bango mpe bakokitana na yo lokola bakonzi, mpe ekosalema bongo mpo na libela. »
13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:
Pamba te Yawe aponaki Siona, asepelaki kokomisa yango Esika na Ye ya kovanda:
14 'This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
« Ezali Esika na ngai ya bopemi mpo na libela; nakovanda awa, pamba te nasepelaki na yango.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision; I will give her needy bread in plenty.
Nakopambola, nakopambola yango na biloko ebele, nakotondisa babola na yango na bilei.
16 Her priests also will I clothe with salvation; and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Nakolatisa Banganga-Nzambe na yango lobiko, mpe bato na yango bakoganga na esengo.
17 There will I make a horn to shoot up unto David, there have I ordered a lamp for Mine anointed.
Kuna na Siona, nakobakisa nguya ya Davidi, mpe nakobimisela ye mokitani, mopakolami na ngai, lokola mwinda ya kopela.
18 His enemies will I clothe with shame; but upon himself shall his crown shine.'
Nakoyokisa banguna na ye soni, mpe motole na ye ekongenga na mbunzu na ye. »
