Psalms 115
1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.
Na biso te, Yawe, na biso te, kasi pesa nkembo na Kombo na Yo mpo na bolingo mpe boyengebene na Yo.
2 Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God?
Mpo na nini bikolo eloba: « Wapi Nzambe na bango? »
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
Nzambe na biso azali na Lola, asalaka nyonso oyo alingi.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
Kasi banzambe na bango ya bikeko ezali ya palata mpe ya wolo, esalema na maboko ya bato.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
Ezali na minoko, kasi elobaka te; ezali na miso, kasi emonaka te;
6 They have ears, but they hear not; noses have they, but they smell not;
ezali na matoyi, kasi eyokaka te; ezali na zolo, kasi eyokaka solo te;
7 They have hands, but they handle not; feet have they, but they walk not; neither speak they through their throat.
ezali na maboko, kasi esimbaka te; ezali na makolo, kasi etambolaka te. Minoko na yango ebimisaka ata makelele te.
8 They that make them shall be like unto them; yea, every one that trusteth in them.
Bato oyo basalaka yango mpe bato nyonso oyo batielaka yango motema bakokani na yango.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
Bana ya Isalaele, botia elikya kati na Yawe! Azali lisungi mpe nguba na bango.
10 O house of Aaron, trust ye in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
Bakitani ya Aron, botia elikya kati na Yawe! Azali lisungi mpe nguba na bino.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
Bino bato oyo botosaka Yawe, botia elikya kati na Yawe. Azali lisungi mpe nguba na bango.
12 The LORD hath been mindful of us; he will bless [us]: he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
Yawe akanisaka biso, akopambola; solo, akopambola bana ya Isalaele, akopambola bakitani ya Aron.
13 He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
Akopambola bato oyo batosaka Yawe kobanda na bato pamba kino na bato minene.
14 The LORD increase you more and more, you and your children.
Tika ete Yawe afulukisa bino, bino mpe bana na bino!
15 Blessed are ye of the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
Tika ete Yawe apambola bino, Ye oyo asala likolo mpe mabele.
16 The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Likolo ezali likolo ya Yawe; kasi apesa mabele epai ya bato.
17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence;
Ezali te bakufi nde bakumisaka Yawe, pamba te bango nyonso bakendaka na esika ya kimia.
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise ye the LORD.
Kasi biso, tokopambola Yawe, kobanda sik’oyo kino libela na libela. Bokumisa Yawe!
