< Psalms 33 >
1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous, praise is comely for the upright.
Bino bato ya sembo, bobeta milolo ya esengo na tina na Yawe! Kokumisa Nzambe ebongi na bato oyo bazali alima.
2 Give thanks unto the LORD with harp, sing praises unto Him with the psaltery of ten strings.
Bosanzola Yawe na nzenze, bosanzola Ye na lindanda ya basinga zomi.
3 Sing unto Him a new song; play skilfully amid shouts of joy.
Boyembela Yawe nzembo ya sika, bobetisa bibetelo mindule elongo na koganga ya esengo.
4 For the word of the LORD is upright; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
Pamba te Liloba na Yawe ezali alima, misala na Ye nyonso ekokisamaka na boyengebene.
5 He loveth righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the lovingkindness of the LORD.
Yawe alingaka bosembo mpe alima; mokili etondi na bolingo na Ye.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
Likolo ekelamaki na Liloba na Yawe; mampinga na yango nyonso, na nzela ya pema ya monoko na Ye.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.
Asangisaka mayi ya bibale minene esika moko, mpe atiaka yango na bisika ya mozindo.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
Tika ete mokili mobimba etosa Yawe! Tika ete bavandi nyonso ya mokili balenga liboso na Ye.
9 For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.
Pamba te alobaki, mpe likambo esalemaki; mpe apesaki mitindo, mpe emonanaki.
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.
Yawe akweyisaka mikano ya bikolo, abebisaka mabongisi ya bato.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.
Kasi mikano ya Yawe etikalaka mpo na seko, mabongisi ya motema na Ye, mpo na bikeke nyonso.
12 Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.
Esengo na ekolo oyo Yawe azali Nzambe na yango. Esengo na bato oyo aponaki mpo na libula na Ye.
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;
Yawe atalaka wuta na likolo, amonaka bana nyonso ya bato.
14 From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
Wuta na evandelo na Ye, atalaka bavandi nyonso ya mokili.
15 He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.
Ye oyo asalaka mitema nyonso ya bato asosolaka makambo nyonso oyo basalaka.
16 A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
Ezali te limpinga monene nde ebikisaka mokonzi to nguya monene nde ekangolaka elombe.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.
Mpunda ezali na nguya te ya kopesa lobiko, makasi na yango nyonso ekangolaka te.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;
Nzokande Yawe atalaka bato oyo batosaka Ye, ba-oyo batiaka elikya na bolingo kati na Ye,
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
mpo na kokangola bango na kufa mpe kobatela bango na bomoi ata na tango ya nzala makasi.
20 Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
Totielaka Yawe motema; azali lisungi mpe nguba na biso.
21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.
Solo, mitema na biso esepelaka kati na Ye, pamba te totiaka elikya na biso kati na Kombo na Ye ya bule.
22 Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
Yawe, lokola totiaka elikya na biso kati na Yo, tika ete bolingo na Yo ezala elongo na biso.
