< Psalms 104 >
1 Bless the LORD O my soul, O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
Eh molimo na ngai, pambola Yawe! Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, ozali monene! Olata kongenga mpe lokumu,
2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment; who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
omifinika moyi lokola kazaka, otanda likolo lokola ndako ya kapo.
3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters; who maketh the clouds his chariot; who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Opika makonzi na yango na mayi ya likolo, okomisaka mapata shar na Yo, otambolaka na mapapu ya mopepe.
4 Who maketh winds his messengers; his ministers a flaming fire:
Okomisaka bantoma na Yo mipepe, mpe basali na Yo, ndemo ya moto.
5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved for ever.
Otia mokili na likolo ya miboko na yango mpo ete eningana te seko na seko.
6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains.
Ozipa yango na mayi monene lokola elamba; mayi ezalaki kovanda na likolo ya bangomba.
7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away;
Kasi na pamela na Yo, mayi ekimaki; na lokito ya kake na Yo, mayi etiolaki,
8 They went up by the mountains, they went down by the valleys, unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
emataki na likolo ya bangomba, ekitaki na mabwaku, na bisika oyo obongisaki mpo na yango.
9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Otiaki mondelo oyo ekoki koleka te; ekozonga lisusu te kozipa mokili.
10 He sendeth forth springs into the valleys; they run among the mountains:
Obimisaka mayi ya bitima mpo na kosopa yango na mayi minene oyo elekaka na kati-kati ya bangomba;
11 They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild asses quench their thirst.
ekomaka mayi ya komela mpo na banyama nyonso ya bilanga mpe mpo na ba-ane ya zamba.
12 By them the fowl of the heaven have their habitation, they sing among the branches.
Bandeke ya likolo evandaka pembeni ya mayi yango mpe eyembaka kati na makasa.
13 He watereth the mountains from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
Wuta na bandako na Yo ya likolo, onokisaka mvula na likolo ya bangomba; mokili etondi na mbuma ya misala na Yo.
14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; that he may bring forth food out of the earth:
Matiti ebotaka mpo na bibwele, mpe milona ya bato ekolaka mpo ete mabele ebotela bango bilei,
15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengtheneth man’s heart.
vino mpo na kosepelisa mitema na bango, mafuta mpo na kongengisa bilongi na bango, mpe mapa mpo na kolendisa mitema na bango.
16 The trees of the LORD are satisfied; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
Banzete ya Yawe etondi na mayi; ndenge wana nde ezali, banzete ya sedele ya Libani, oyo Yawe alona.
17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
Bandeke esalaka bazala na yango kuna, mpe nkoko evandaka na banzete ya sipele.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the conies.
Bangomba milayi ezali ekimelo mpo na bantaba ya zamba, mpe madusu ya mabanga ezali bibombamelo mpo na bampanya ya zamba.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
Osala sanza mpo na koyeba mikolo ya bafeti. Moyi eyebi tango na yango ya kolala.
20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night; Wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
Otindaka molili, mpe butu ekomaka. Bongo banyama nyonso ya zamba ekomaka kotambola-tambola.
21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
Bana ya nkosi egangaka sima na nyama mpe esengaka bilei epai ya Nzambe.
22 The sun ariseth, they get them away, and lay them down in their dens.
Soki moyi ebimi, nkosi elongwaka, ezongaka mpo na kolala na bisika na yango;
23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
kasi moto abimaka mpo na kokende na mosala na ye mpe asalaka kino na pokwa.
24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Oh Yawe, misala na Yo ezali ebele! Osalaki nyonso na bwanya; mokili etondi na biloko oyo okela.
25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
Tala ndenge ebale monene ezali molayi mpe epanzana, etonda na banyama oyo tokoki kotanga te, kobanda na oyo eleki mike kino na oyo eleki minene.
26 There go the ships; there is leviathan, whom thou hast formed to take his pastime therein.
Kuna, bamasuwa ekendeke mpe ezongaka; bongo Leviatani oyo osala mpo ete esakanaka kuna.
27 These wait all upon thee, that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
Nyonso etalelaka Yo mpo ete opesa yango bilei na tango oyo ekoki.
28 That thou givest unto them they gather; thou openest thine hand, they are satisfied with good.
Opesaka bilei, mpe ezwaka yango; ofungolelaka yango loboko na Yo, mpe etondaka na biloko.
29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath they die, and return to their dust.
Tango obombaka elongi na Yo, somo ekangaka yango; tango olongolaka yango pema, ekufaka mpe ezongaka na putulu;
30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the ground.
tango otindaka pema Yo, ezwaka bomoi; mpe okomisaka mokili sika.
31 Let the glory of the LORD endure for ever; let the LORD rejoice in his works:
Tika ete nkembo ya Yawe ewumela libela na libela! Tika ete Yawe asepela na misala na Ye!
32 Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
Soki atali mokili, mokili elengaka; soki asimbi bangomba, ebimisaka milinga.
33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
Nakoyembela Yawe bomoi na ngai mobimba; nakoyembela Nzambe na ngai tango nyonso nazali na bomoi.
34 Let my meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in the LORD.
Tika ete maloba na ngai esepelisa Ye! Tika ete Yawe azala esengo na ngai!
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
Tika ete bato ya masumu basila na mokili, mpe bato mabe bazala lisusu te! Oh molimo na ngai, pambola Yawe! Aleluya, bokumisa Yawe!
