Psalms 8

1 To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." A Melody of David. O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth, Who hast set thy splendour upon the heavens.

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Oh Yawe, Nkolo na biso, Kombo na Yo ezali monene kati na mokili mobimba! Ovandisi nkembo na Yo kati na Lola.

2 Out of the mouth of children and sucklings, hast thou laid a foundation of strength, —because of thine adversaries, to make foe and avenger be still.

Na nzela ya masanzoli ya bana mpe bana mike, otelemisi ndako batonga makasi, mpo na kotelemela bayini na Yo mpe kokanga monoko ya monguna mpe ya moto oyo alingaka kozongisa mabe na mabe.

3 When I view thy heavens, the work, of thy fingers, moon and stars, which thou hast established,

Tango natalaka Lola na Yo, mosala ya misapi na Yo, sanza mpe minzoto oyo otia,

4 What was weak man, that thou shouldst make mention of him? or the son of the earthborn, that thou shouldst set him in charge?

namitunaka: Moto azali nini mpo ete okanisa ye, mpe moto azali nani mpo ete obatela ye?

5 That thou shouldst make him little less than messengers of God, with glory and honour, shouldst crown him?

Osalaki ye moke koleka ba-anjelu mpe olatisaka ye motole ya nkembo mpe ya lokumu;

6 Shouldst give him dominion over the works of thy hands, —All things, shouldst have put under his feet:

otia ye moyangeli ya misala ya maboko na Yo, otia nyonso na se ya matambe na ye:

7 Sheep and oxen, all of them, —yea even the beasts of the field;

bameme, bantaba, bangombe mpe banyama ya zamba,

8 The bird of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, — the passer-by on the paths of the seas?

bandeke ya likolo, mbisi ya ebale monene mpe nyonso oyo etambolaka na bibale.

9 O Yahweh, our Lord! How majestic is thy Name, in all the earth.

Oh Yawe, Nkolo na biso, Kombo na Yo ezali monene kati na mokili mobimba!
