Psalms 97
1 YHWH has reigned, The earth is joyful, many islands rejoice.
Yave weti yala, bika ntoto wuyangalala. Bika bisanga biobi bidi thama bimona nkini.
2 Cloud and darkness [are] around Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.
Matuti ayi tombi kinkobo binzungididi. Busonga ayi bufuana biawu fundasio yi kundu kiandi ki kipfumu.
3 Fire goes before Him, And burns around His adversaries.
Mbazu yeti kuenda ku ntualꞌandi ayi yeti zinisa batu bobo beti kunlenda ku kadika ndambu
4 His lightnings have lightened the world, The earth has seen, and is pained.
Zitsiemo ziandi zieti kienzula nza, ntoto weti mona ayi weti tita.
5 Hills, like wax, melted before YHWH, Before the Lord of all the earth.
Miongo misiuta banga mafuta momo beti vinda mu bikundu va ntuala Yave, va ntuala Yave wu ntoto wumvimba.
6 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.
Diyilu dieti yamikina busonga buandi ayi batu boso beti mona nkembo andi.
7 All servants of a carved image are ashamed, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to Him, all you gods.
Babo bobo bambuongiminanga zimfikula beti fua tsoni; bobo beti kukiniemisa mu diambu di bitumba. Lumbuongimina, beno zinzambi zioso.
8 Zion has heard and rejoices, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Your judgments, O YHWH.
Sioni weti wa ayi weti mona khini ayi bana ba baketo ba Yuda beti yangalala mu diambu di zinzengolo ziaku, a Yave.
9 For You, YHWH, [are] Most High over all the earth, You have been exalted greatly over all gods.
Bila ngeyo Yave, widi Nzambi yizangama va ntoto wumvimba. Ngeyo widi wuyayusu ngolo va yilu zinzambi zioso.
10 You who love YHWH, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Bika babo beti zola Yave, balenda mambimbi. Bila weti keba luzingu lu banlongo bandi. Niandi wukubakulanga mu mioko mi batu bambimbi.
11 Light [is] sown for the righteous, And joy for the upright of heart.
Kiezila kieti totuka mu diambu di batu basonga ayi khini mu diambu di bobo badi lulama mu mintima.
12 Rejoice, you righteous, in YHWH, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness!
Bika lumona khini mu Yave, beno luidi basonga ayi luzitisa dizina diandi di nlongo.
