Psalms 132
1 A Song of Degrees. Lord, remember David, and all his meekness:
Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Yawe, kanisa Davidi; kanisa pasi na ye nyonso!
2 how he sware to the Lord, [and] vowed to the God of Jacob, [saying],
Alapaki ndayi oyo epai na Yawe, epai ya Elombe ya Jakobi:
3 I will not go into the tabernacle of my house; I will not go up to the couch of my bed;
« 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, nor rest to my temples,
nakokanga miso na ngai te mpo na kolala pongi to mpo na konimba mwa moke
5 until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
kino nakozwa Esika mpo na Yawe, Ndako mpo na Elombe ya Jakobi. »
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephratha; we found it in the fields of the wood.
Toyokaki sango na tina na yango na Efrata, tomonaki yango na elanga ya Yari.
7 Let us enter into his tabernacles: let us worship at the place where his feet stood.
Tokende na Ndako na Ye, togumbama liboso ya enyatelo makolo na yango.
8 Arise, O Lord, into your rest; you, and the ark of your holiness.
Yawe, telema, yaka na Esika na Yo ya bopemi! Yaka elongo na Sanduku ya Boyokani epai wapi nguya na Yo ezali.
9 Your priests shall clothe themselves with righteousness; and your saints shall exult.
Tika ete Banganga-Nzambe na Yo balata bosembo lokola elamba; mpe tika ete basantu na Yo baganga na esengo!
10 For the sake of your servant David turn not away the face of your anointed.
Mpo na Davidi, mosali na Yo, kobengana mopakolami na Yo te!
11 The Lord sware [in] truth to David, and he will not annul it, [saying], Of the fruit of your body will I set [a king] upon your 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 your children will deep my covenant, and these my testimonies which I shall teach them, their children also shall sit upon your throne for ever.
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 has elected Sion, he has chosen her for a habitation for himself, [saying],
Pamba te Yawe aponaki Siona, asepelaki kokomisa yango Esika na Ye ya kovanda:
14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have chosen it.
« Ezali Esika na ngai ya bopemi mpo na libela; nakovanda awa, pamba te nasepelaki na yango.
15 I will surely bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Nakopambola, nakopambola yango na biloko ebele, nakotondisa babola na yango na bilei.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation; and her saints shall greatly exult.
Nakolatisa Banganga-Nzambe na yango lobiko, mpe bato na yango bakoganga na esengo.
17 There will I cause to spring up a horn to David: I have prepared 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 a shame; but upon himself shall my holiness flourish.
Nakoyokisa banguna na ye soni, mpe motole na ye ekongenga na mbunzu na ye. »
