Psalms 48
1 [A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Yawe azali monene mpe abongi na lokumu, kati na engumba ya Nzambe na biso, ngomba na Ye ya bule.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
Ezali kitoko, ngomba moke oyo esalaka esengo ya mokili mobimba, ngomba Siona! Ngambo na yango ya Nor nde ezali engumba ya Mokonzi Monene.
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
Nzambe azali kati na bandako na yango ya bokonzi, amimonisi lokola ndako batonga makasi.
4 For, look, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
Pamba te bakonzi basanganaki, batambolaki nzela moko.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
Kasi tango kaka bamonaki yango, bakamwaki mpe bakimaki na somo.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
Mbala moko, bakomaki kolenga wana lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
to lokola mopepe ya Este oyo apanzaka masuwa ya Tarsisi.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
Ndenge kaka bayebisaki biso, ndenge mpe tomonaki kati na engumba ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, kati na engumba ya Nzambe na biso; Nzambe alendisaka yango seko na seko.
9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.
Nzambe, kati na Tempelo na Yo, tokanisaka bolingo na Yo.
10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the farthest parts of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
Nzambe, lokumu na Yo epanzani kino na suka ya mokili, ndenge moko na Kombo na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali etondi na bosembo.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
Ngomba ya Siona ezali kosepela, bamboka ya Yuda etondi na esengo mpo na mikano na Yo.
12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
Botambola pembeni ya Siona, bokende zingazinga na yango, botanga bandako na yango ya milayi.
13 Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
Botala lopango na yango, botala malamu bandako na yango mpo ete bopesa sango epai ya bato oyo bakoya na sima.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
Pamba te Nzambe wana azali Nzambe na biso seko na seko mpe libela na libela; akotambolisa biso, ezala kino na kufa.
