< Psalms 48 >
1 A Song [and] Psalm for the sons of Korah. Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, [in] the mountain of his holiness.
Nkunga bana ba babakala ba Kole. Yave widi wunneni. Ayi lutidi fuana mu tambula minzitusu mu divula di Nzambi eto, mongo andi wunlongo.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is] mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, 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 is known in her palaces for a refuge.
Nzambi widi mu zinzo zi divula beni wukimonisa niandi veka mu ba suamunu kiandi ki ngolo.
4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
Mu thangu mintinu mifubikisa zingolo, mu thangu midiatila va kimosi.
5 They saw [it, and] so they marvelled; they were troubled, [and] hasted away.
Mimona ayi misimina; mitina mu tsisi.
6 Fear took hold upon them there, [and] pain, as of a woman in travail.
Lukhuku luba buila vana ziphasi ziba mona zidedikini banga mianga mieti mona nketo weka buta.
7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
Ngeyo wuba bunga banga masuwa ma Talisi mabungu mu phemo yeti totukila ku Esite.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (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 We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
Mu khati nzo aku, a Nzambi, tueti yindula mu diambu di luzolo luaku lu ngolo.
10 According to thy name, O God, so [is] thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Banga dizina diaku, a Nzambi! Nzitusu aku widi nate mu sukisina ntoto. Koko kuaku ku lubakala kuwedi busonga.
11 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
Mongo wu Sioni wulembo moni khini; mala ma Yuda malembo yangalala mu diambu di zinzengolo ziaku.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
Ludiata muyenda Sioni ayi lunzungidila, ayi lutanga zinzo ziandi zizangama.
13 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell [it] to the generation following.
Lutala bumboti ziphangu ziandi; Lufiongunina zinzo ziandi muingi luba samunina kuidi tsungi yinkuiza.
14 For this God [is] our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide [even] unto death.
Bila Nzambi yayi niandi Nzambi eto mu thangu yi kayimani ayi mu zithangu zioso. Niandi wela ba ntuadisi eto nate ku tsuka.
