< Psalms 84 >
1 To the Chief Musician. On "the Gittith." For the Sons of Korah. A Melody. How lovely are thy habitations, O Yahweh of hosts!
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, tala ndenge bisika oyo ovandaka ezali kopesa posa!
2 My soul, longeth—yea even languisheth—for the courts of Yahweh, —My heart and my flesh, shout aloud for a Living GOD.
Nzoto na ngai mobimba ebukani pene nakufa mpo na posa makasi ya lopango ya Yawe! Motema mpe nzoto na ngai ezali koganga epai ya Nzambe na bomoi.
3 Even the sparrow, hath found a home, And, the swallow, a nest for herself, where she hath laid her young, Thine altars, O Yahweh of hosts, My king and my God!
Ndeke ya moke ezwaka esika ya kovanda, mpe mbilambila esalaka zala epai wapi etiaka bana na yango, pene ya bitumbelo na Yo, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Mokonzi na ngai mpe Nzambe na ngai.
4 How happy are they who abide in thy house, —Still are they praising thee. (Selah)
Esengo na bavandi ya Ndako na Yo! Bakokumisa Yo tango nyonso!
5 How happy the men whose strength is in thee, Festive processions are in their heart.
Esengo na bato oyo bazwaka makasi kati na Yo; bakendaka na esengo na Tempelo na Yo!
6 Passing through the balsam-vale, A place of fountains, they make it, Yea, with blessings, is it covered by the early rain.
Tango bakatisaka Lubwaku ya Baka, bakomisaka yango esika oyo etonda na bitima ya mayi, mpe mvula etondisaka yango na mapamboli.
7 They go from strength to strength, Each one appeareth before God in Zion.
Makasi na bango ebakisamaka tango nyonso kino bakomaka na Siona, liboso ya Nzambe.
8 O Yahweh, God of hosts, hear thou my prayer, —Give hear, thou God of Jacob. (Selah)
Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, yoka losambo na ngai! Nzambe ya Jakobi, yoka ngai!
9 Our Shield, behold thou, O God, And look upon the face of thine Anointed One.
Oh Nzambe, Yo oyo ozali nguba na biso, tala! Tala elongi ya mopakolami na Yo!
10 For better is a day in thy courts, than a thousand, I choose rather to stand at the threshold in the house of my God, Than to dwell in the tents of lawlessness.
Lokola kovanda mokolo moko kati na lopango na Yo eleki kovanda mikolo nkoto moko na esika mosusu, naponaki kotelema na ekotelo ya Ndako ya Nzambe na ngai na esika ete navanda kati na bandako ya kapo ya bato mabe.
11 For, a sun and shield, is Yahweh God, —Grace and glory, will Yahweh give, He will not withhold what is good, from them who walk without blame.
Pamba te, mpo na biso, Yawe Nzambe azali moyi mpe nguba; Yawe apesaka ngolu mpe nkembo, aboyaka kopesa eloko moko te epai ya bato oyo batambolaka bazanga pamela.
12 O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, esengo na moto oyo atiaka elikya kati na Yo!
