Psalms 48
1 [A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
Nkunga bana ba babakala ba Kole. Yave widi wunneni. Ayi lutidi fuana mu tambula minzitusu mu divula di Nzambi eto, mongo andi wunlongo.
2 Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King.
Widi wu kitoko mu nangama kuandi, khini yi ntoto wumvimba. Mongo wu Sioni widi banga zitsongi zilutisi nangama zi Zafoni, divula di ntinu wunneni.
3 God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.
Nzambi widi mu zinzo zi divula beni wukimonisa niandi veka mu ba suamunu kiandi ki ngolo.
4 For, look, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.
Mu thangu mintinu mifubikisa zingolo, mu thangu midiatila va kimosi.
5 They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.
Mimona ayi misimina; mitina mu tsisi.
6 Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.
Lukhuku luba buila vana ziphasi ziba mona zidedikini banga mianga mieti mona nketo weka buta.
7 With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.
Ngeyo wuba bunga banga masuwa ma Talisi mabungu mu phemo yeti totukila ku Esite.
8 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of YHWH of hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)
Banga bu tuwila, buawu bobo tumuenini mu divula di Yave, nkua ngolo yoso; mu divula di Nzambi eto: Nzambi wela kuvana luvovomo mu zithangu zioso.
9 We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the midst of your temple.
Mu khati nzo aku, a Nzambi, tueti yindula mu diambu di luzolo luaku lu ngolo.
10 As is your name, God, so is your praise to the farthest parts of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.
Banga dizina diaku, a Nzambi! Nzitusu aku widi nate mu sukisina ntoto. Koko kuaku ku lubakala kuwedi busonga.
11 Let Mount Zion be glad. Let the daughters of Judah rejoice, Because of your judgments.
Mongo wu Sioni wulembo moni khini; mala ma Yuda malembo yangalala mu diambu di zinzengolo ziaku.
12 Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.
Ludiata muyenda Sioni ayi lunzungidila, ayi lutanga zinzo ziandi zizangama.
13 Consider her defenses. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.
Lutala bumboti ziphangu ziandi; Lufiongunina zinzo ziandi muingi luba samunina kuidi tsungi yinkuiza.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever. He will guide us forever.
Bila Nzambi yayi niandi Nzambi eto mu thangu yi kayimani ayi mu zithangu zioso. Niandi wela ba ntuadisi eto nate ku tsuka.
