Psalms 146

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.

Bokumisa Yawe! Oh molimo na ngai, kumisa Yawe!

2 While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.

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 son of man, in whom [there is] no help.

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

4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

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

5 Happy [is he] that [hath] the God of Jacob for his help, 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 heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein [is: ] which keepeth truth for ever:

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

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth 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 openeth [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

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

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

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

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

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