< Psalms 132 >
1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. Remember, YHWH, for David, all his afflictions;
Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Yawe, kanisa Davidi; kanisa pasi na ye nyonso!
2 Who has sworn to YHWH, He has vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
Alapaki ndayi oyo epai na Yawe, epai ya Elombe ya Jakobi:
3 “If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the couch of my bed,
« Nakokota na ndako na ngai te, nakomata na mbeto na ngai te,
4 If I give sleep to my eyes, To my eyelids—slumber,
nakokanga miso na ngai te mpo na kolala pongi to mpo na konimba mwa moke
5 Until I find a place for YHWH, dwelling places for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
kino nakozwa Esika mpo na Yawe, Ndako mpo na Elombe ya Jakobi. »
6 Behold, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the fields of the forest.
Toyokaki sango na tina na yango na Efrata, tomonaki yango na elanga ya Yari.
7 We come into His dwelling places, We bow ourselves at His footstool.
Tokende na Ndako na Ye, togumbama liboso ya enyatelo makolo na yango.
8 Arise, O YHWH, to Your rest, You, and the Ark of Your strength,
Yawe, telema, yaka na Esika na Yo ya bopemi! Yaka elongo na Sanduku ya Boyokani epai wapi nguya na Yo ezali.
9 Your priests put on righteousness, And Your pious ones cry aloud.
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, Do not turn back the face of Your anointed.
Mpo na Davidi, mosali na Yo, kobengana mopakolami na Yo te!
11 YHWH has sworn truth to David, He does not turn back from it: “Of the fruit of your body, I set on the throne for you.
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 sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also forever and ever Sit on the throne for you.”
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 YHWH has fixed on Zion, He has desired [it] for a seat to Himself,
Pamba te Yawe aponaki Siona, asepelaki kokomisa yango Esika na Ye ya kovanda:
14 “This [is] My rest forever and ever, Here I sit, for I have desired it.
« Ezali Esika na ngai ya bopemi mpo na libela; nakovanda awa, pamba te nasepelaki na yango.
15 I greatly bless her provision, I satisfy her poor [with] bread,
Nakopambola, nakopambola yango na biloko ebele, nakotondisa babola na yango na bilei.
16 And I clothe her priests [with] salvation, And her pious ones sing aloud.
Nakolatisa Banganga-Nzambe na yango lobiko, mpe bato na yango bakoganga na esengo.
17 There I cause a horn to spring up for David, I have arranged a lamp for My Anointed.
Kuna na Siona, nakobakisa nguya ya Davidi, mpe nakobimisela ye mokitani, mopakolami na ngai, lokola mwinda ya kopela.
18 I clothe His enemies [with] shame, And His crown flourishes on Him!”
Nakoyokisa banguna na ye soni, mpe motole na ye ekongenga na mbunzu na ye. »
