Psalms 108
1 A SONG. A PSALM OF DAVID. My heart is prepared, O God, I sing, indeed, I sing praise, also my glory.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzambe, motema na ngai ezali na kimia! Nakoyembela Yo, nakosanzola Yo na mindule; ezali mpe lokumu na ngai.
2 Awake, stringed instrument and harp, I awake the dawn.
Lindanda mpe nzenze, bolamuka! Nalingi kolamusa tongo.
3 I thank You among peoples, O YHWH, And I praise You among the nations.
Nkolo, nakosanzola Yo kati na bato, nakoyembela Yo kati na bikolo.
4 For Your kindness [is] great above the heavens, And Your truth to the clouds.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali monene koleka Lola, mpe bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na mapata.
5 Be exalted above the heavens, O God, And Your glory above all the earth.
Oh Nzambe, tika ete otombolama na likolo ya Lola, mpe nkembo na Yo ezala awa na mokili mobimba!
6 That Your beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Your right hand, and answer us.
Bikisa biso na nguya ya loboko na Yo mpe yanola biso, mpo ete balingami na Yo bakangolama!
7 God has spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion Shechem, And I measure the Valley of Succoth,
Nzambe alobaki kati na Esika na Ye ya bule: « Nakolonga! Nakokabola Sishemi mpe nakotia bandelo ya lubwaku ya Sukoti.
8 Gilead [is] Mine, Manasseh [is] Mine, And Ephraim [is] the strength of My head, Judah [is] My lawgiver,
Galadi ezali ya ngai, Manase mpe ezali ya ngai; Efrayimi ezali ekoti na ngai ya ebende, mpe Yuda ezali lingenda na ngai ya bokonzi.
9 Moab [is] a pot for My washing, On Edom I cast My shoe, Over Philistia I habitually shout.
Moabi ezali sani monene oyo nasukolelaka, Edomi ezali esika oyo nabwakaka sandale na ngai. Nazali kobeta milolo ya bitumba mpo na kobundisa mokili ya Filisitia. »
10 Who brings me [into] the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?
Nani akomema ngai na engumba batonga makasi? Nani akotambolisa ngai kino na Edomi?
11 Have You not, O God, cast us off? And You do not go out, O God, with our hosts!
Ezali Yo te, Nzambe oyo obwakaki biso, Nzambe oyo ozalaki lisusu te kokende bitumba elongo na mampinga na biso!
12 Give to us help from adversity, And the salvation of man is vain.
Yaka kosunga biso, kangola biso liboso ya moyini! Pamba te lisungi ya bato ezali pamba.
13 We do mightily in God, And He treads down our adversaries!
Elongo na Nzambe, tokosala makambo minene mpe ya kokamwa; ezali Ye nde akonyata banguna na biso.
