< Psalms 108 >
1 [A Song. A Psalm by David.] My heart is steadfast, God. I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzambe, motema na ngai ezali na kimia! Nakoyembela Yo, nakosanzola Yo na mindule; ezali mpe lokumu na ngai.
2 Wake up, harp and lyre. I will wake up the dawn.
Lindanda mpe nzenze, bolamuka! Nalingi kolamusa tongo.
3 I will give thanks to you, YHWH, among the nations. I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
Nkolo, nakosanzola Yo kati na bato, nakoyembela Yo kati na bikolo.
4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali monene koleka Lola, mpe bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na mapata.
5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over 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 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 from his sanctuary: "In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out 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. Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.
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 my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout in triumph over Philistia."
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 will bring 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 Haven't you rejected us, God? You do not go forth, God, with our armies.
Ezali Yo te, Nzambe oyo obwakaki biso, Nzambe oyo ozalaki lisusu te kokende bitumba elongo na mampinga na biso!
12 Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.
Yaka kosunga biso, kangola biso liboso ya moyini! Pamba te lisungi ya bato ezali pamba.
13 Through God, we will do valiantly. For it is he who will trample down our enemies.
Elongo na Nzambe, tokosala makambo minene mpe ya kokamwa; ezali Ye nde akonyata banguna na biso.
