Psalms 48
1 “A psalm of the sons of Korah.” Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, upon 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 its elevation is Mount Zion, The joy of the whole earth; The joy of the farthest North is 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 In her palaces God is known as a refuge.
Nzambi widi mu zinzo zi divula beni wukimonisa niandi veka mu ba suamunu kiandi ki ngolo.
4 For, lo! kings were assembled against it; They passed away together.
Mu thangu mintinu mifubikisa zingolo, mu thangu midiatila va kimosi.
5 As soon as they saw, they were astonished; They were confounded, and hasted away.
Mimona ayi misimina; mitina mu tsisi.
6 There terror seized upon them, —Pain, as of a woman in travail;
Lukhuku luba buila vana ziphasi ziba mona zidedikini banga mianga mieti mona nketo weka buta.
7 As when the east wind breaketh in pieces The ships of Tarshish.
Ngeyo wuba bunga banga masuwa ma Talisi mabungu mu phemo yeti totukila ku Esite.
8 As we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. (Pause)
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 think of thy loving-kindness, O God! In the midst of thy temple!
Mu khati nzo aku, a Nzambi, tueti yindula mu diambu di luzolo luaku lu ngolo.
10 As thy name, O God! so thy praise, extendeth to the ends of the earth; Thy 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 Mount Zion rejoiceth, The daughters of Judah exult, On account of thy righteous judgments.
Mongo wu Sioni wulembo moni khini; mala ma Yuda malembo yangalala mu diambu di zinzengolo ziaku.
12 Go round about Zion; number her towers;
Ludiata muyenda Sioni ayi lunzungidila, ayi lutanga zinzo ziandi zizangama.
13 Mark well her bulwarks; count her palaces; That ye 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 for ever and ever; He will be our guide unto death.
Bila Nzambi yayi niandi Nzambi eto mu thangu yi kayimani ayi mu zithangu zioso. Niandi wela ba ntuadisi eto nate ku tsuka.
