Psalms 97
1 For David, when his land is established. The Lord reigns, let the earth exult, let many islands rejoice.
Yawe azali kokonza! Tika ete mabele esepela; tika ete ebele ya bisanga ezala na esengo!
2 Cloud, and darkness are round about him; righteousness and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
Mapata mpe molili makasi ezingeli Ye, bosembo mpe bosolo ezali miboko ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi.
3 Fire shall go before him, and burn up his enemies round about.
Moto etambolaka liboso na Ye, ezikisaka banguna na Ye, oyo bazingeli Ye.
4 His lightnings appeared to the world; the earth saw, and trembled.
Mikalikali na Ye engengisaka mokili; mpe tango mabele emonaka bongo, elengaka.
5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Bangomba enyangwamaka lokola mafuta liboso ya Yawe, liboso ya Nkolo ya mokili mobimba.
6 The heavens have declared his righteousness, and all the people have seen his glory.
Likolo epanzaka sango ya bosembo na Ye, mpe bikolo nyonso bamonaka nkembo na Ye.
7 Let all that worship graven images be ashamed, who boast of their idols; worship him, all you his angels.
Tika ete soni ekanga basambeli nyonso ya bikeko, bato oyo bamikumisaka mpo na banzambe ya lokuta! Bino banzambe nyonso, bogumbama liboso na Ye!
8 Sion heard and rejoiced; and the daughters of Judea exulted, because of your judgments, O Lord.
Yawe, Siona eyoki yango mpe esepeli; bingumba ya Yuda ezali na esengo mpo na mikano na Yo!
9 For you are Lord most high over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods.
Pamba te, na mokili mobimba, Yo nde Yawe, ozali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo; oleki banzambe nyonso.
10 You that love the Lord, hate evil; the Lord preserves the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of sinners.
Bino bato oyo bolingaka Yawe, boyina mabe! Yawe abatelaka bomoi ya bayengebene na Ye mpe akangolaka bango na maboko ya bato mabe.
11 Light is sprung up for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Moyi elonami mpo na moto ya sembo, mpe esengo, mpo na bato oyo bazali na mitema alima.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous; and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
Bino bato ya sembo, bosepela kati na Yawe; bosanzola Ye na kotatola bosantu na Ye.
