Psalms 89
1 An Instructive Psalm, by Ethan the Ezrahite. The lovingkindnesses of Yahweh, age-abidingly will I sing, To generation after generation, will I make known thy faithfulness with my mouth.
Maloba ya Etani, moto ya Ezera. Nakoyemba tango nyonso bolingo ya Yawe; monoko na ngai ekosakola boyengebene na Yo libela na libela.
2 For I said, To times age-abiding, shall lovingkindness be built up, As for the heavens, thou wilt establish thy faithfulness therein.
Solo, nazali kotatola yango: « Miboko ya bolingo na Yo ezali na suka te; ovandisi boyengebene na Yo kati na likolo. »
3 I have solemnised a covenant, for my chosen one, I have sworn unto David my servant:
Olobaki: « Nasali boyokani elongo na moponami na ngai, nalapi ndayi epai ya mosali na ngai, Davidi:
4 Unto times age-abiding, will I establish thy seed, And will build up, unto generation after generation, thy throne. (Selah)
‹ Nakokomisa yo libota ya bokonzi mpo na tango nyonso mpe nakolendisa kiti na yo ya bokonzi mpo na seko. › »
5 So shall the heavens praise thy wondrousness, O Yahweh, —Yea, thy faithfulness, in the convocation of holy ones.
Yawe, Lola esanzolaka misala na Yo ya kokamwa mpe bosembo na Yo kati na lisanga ya basantu.
6 For whom, in the skies, can one compare unto Yahweh? [Or] can one liken unto Yahweh, among the sons of the mighty?
Nani akokani na Yawe kuna na likolo? Nani akokani na Yawe kati na mampinga ya likolo?
7 A GOD inspiring awe in the circle of the holy ones, exceedingly, And to be reverenced above all who are round about him.
Azali Nzambe ya somo kati na lisanga ya basantu; solo, azali somo koleka ba-oyo nyonso bazingeli Ye.
8 O Yahweh, God of hosts! Who, like thee, is mighty, O Yah! With thy faithfulness round about thee:
Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, nani azali na nguya lokola Yo? Nani, oh Yawe? Boyengebene na Yo ezingeli Yo.
9 Thou, rulest over the swelling of the sea, When the rolling waves thereof lift themselves, Thou, dost bid them be still:
Yo nde okonzaka lolendo ya ebale monene mpe okitisaka bambonge na yango soki etomboki.
10 Thou, hast crushed—as one slain—Rahab, With thy strong arm, hast thou scattered thy foes.
Yo nde olongaki Rahavi, dalagona ya Ejipito, kino koboma ye; mpe, na nguya na Yo, opanzaki banguna na Yo.
11 Thine, are the heavens, Yea, thine, the earth, The world and the fulness thereof, Thou, didst found them;
Likolo ezali ya Yo; mabele mpe ezali ya Yo! Yo nde osala mokili mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango.
12 The north and the south, Thou, didst create them, —Tabor and Hermon, with thy Name, shall shout for joy:
Yo nde okela Nor mpe Sude; Tabori mpe Erimoni egangaka na esengo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
13 Thine is an arm with might, Strong is thy hand, High is thy right hand;
Loboko na Yo ezali na makasi, loboko na Yo ezali na nguya, loboko na Yo ya mobali oyo otombola.
14 Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of thy throne, Lovingkindness and faithfulness, go before thy face.
Bosembo mpe alima ezali miboko ya Kiti ya Bokonzi na Yo, boyengebene mpe bolingo etambolaka liboso na Yo.
15 How happy are the people who know the joyful sound! O Yahweh! in the light of thy countenance, shall they firmly march along;
Esengo na bato oyo bayebi kobetela Yo maboko! Yawe, batambolaka na pole ya elongi na Yo,
16 In thy Name, shall they exult all the day, And, in thy righteousness, shall they be exalted.
basepelaka mikolo nyonso na Kombo na Yo, basanzolaka bosembo na Yo.
17 For, the beauty of their strength, thou art, And, in thine acceptance, shall our horns be exalted.
Pamba te ozali nkembo mpe nguya na bango; mpe olongisaka biso na ngolu na Yo.
18 For, to Yahweh, belongeth our Shield, And, to the Holy One of Israel, belongeth our King.
Yawe azali nguba na biso; Mosantu ya Isalaele azali Mokonzi na biso.
19 Then spakest thou in vision of thy men of lovingkindness, and saidst—I have laid help upon a mighty one, I have exalted one chosen from among the people;
Mokolo moko, olobaki na bayengebene na Yo kati na emoniseli: « Nasungaki elombe moko ya bitumba, natombolaki elenge mobali moko kati na bato na ngai;
20 I have found David my servant, With mine own holy oil, have I anointed him;
namonaki Davidi, mosali na ngai; napakolaki ye mafuta na ngai ya bule.
21 With whom my hand shall be firm, Yea, mine arm, shall strengthen him;
Nakobatela ye na loboko na ngai ya nguya, mpe loboko na ngai ekokomisa ye makasi.
22 No foe shall make exactions on him, Nor shall, a son of perversity, humiliate him;
Monguna akobimela ye ata moke te na pwasa, moto mabe akokoka konyokola ye te.
23 And I will shatter, from before him, his adversaries, And, them who hate him, will I smite;
Nakobebisa banguna na ye liboso na ye mpe nakoboma bayini na ye.
24 And, my faithfulness and my lovingkindness, shall be with him, And, in my Name, exalted shall be his horn;
Bolingo mpe boyengebene na ngai ekozala elongo na ye; mpe na Kombo na Ngai, akotombola elongi.
25 And I will set, in the sea, his hand, And, in the rivers, his right hand;
Nakotia ebale monene na se ya loboko na ye, mpe bibale, na se ya loboko na ye ya mobali.
26 He, shall cry out unto me, My Father, thou art, My GOD, and my Rock of Salvation!
Akobelela ngai boye: ‹ Ozali Tata na ngai, Nzambe na ngai, Libanga mpe Mobikisi na ngai! ›
27 Yea, I, will appoint him, firstborn, Most High to the kings of the earth!
Mpe ngai, nakokomisa ye mwana na ngai ya liboso, mokonzi oyo aleki na kotombwama kati na bakonzi ya mokili.
28 Age-abidingly, will I keep for him my lovingkindness, And, my covenant, hath been made steadfast for him;
Nakobatela mpo na seko bolingo na ngai mpo na ye; boyokani na ngai elongo na ye ekotikala kobeba te.
29 Therefore will I appoint, to futurity, his seed, And his throne as the days of the heavens.
Nakobatela mpo na libela libota na ye ya bokonzi, mpe kiti na ye ya bokonzi ekowumela ndenge moko na likolo.
30 If his sons forsake my law, And, in my regulations, do not walk;
Soki bana na ye basundoli mibeko na ngai mpe balandi bosembo na ngai te,
31 If, my statutes, they profane, And, my commandments, do not keep:
soki babuki mitindo na ngai mpe babateli te mibeko na ngai,
32 Then will I punish, with a rod, their transgression; And, with stripes, their iniquity:
nakopesa bango etumbu na nzela ya lingenda, mpo na botomboki na bango, mpe na nzela ya makofi, mpo na masumu na bango;
33 But, my lovingkindness, will I not frustrate from them, Neither will I falsify my faithfulness;
kasi nakowangana te bolingo na ngai mpe nakobongola te boyengebene na ngai.
34 I will not violate my covenant, And that which hath proceeded out of my lips, will I not alter:
Nakosambwisa te boyokani na ngai mpe nakobongola te maloba na ngai.
35 One thing, have I sworn by my holiness, Verily, to David, will I not lie;
Nalapaki yango na ndayi mbala moko mpo na libela na Kombo ya bosantu na ngai: ‹ Nakokosa Davidi te! ›
36 His seed, age-abidingly, shall remain, And, his throne, be like the sun before me;
Libota na ye ya bokonzi ekowumela mpo na libela, mpe kiti na ye ya bokonzi ekowumela lokola moyi liboso na ngai.
37 Like the moon, shall it be established unto times age-abiding, And, a witness, in the skies, hath been made sure. (Selah)
Solo, lokola sanza, ekowumela na bokonzi mpo na libela. Motatoli oyo azali kuna kati na likolo akoki kokosa te. »
38 Yet, thou thyself, hast cast off, and rejected, Thou hast been wroth with thine Anointed One!
Nzokande, obwakaki, omonaki pamba, osilikelaki mopakolami na Yo!
39 Thou hast cast down the covenant of thy Servant, Thou hast profaned, to the earth, his crown;
Owanganaki boyokani oyo osalaki elongo na mosali na Yo, obwakaki na mabele mpe osambwisaki motole na ye.
40 Thou hast broken down all his defenses, Thou hast laid his fortresses in ruins;
Otobolaki madusu kati na bamir na ye nyonso mpe obukaki bandako na ye, oyo batonga makasi;
41 All the passers by the way, have plundered him, He hath become a reproach to his neighbours;
bato nyonso oyo balekaki wana babotolaki ye biloko, mpe bavandi ya pembeni na ye bakomaki kotiola ye.
42 Thou hast raised the right hand of his adversaries, Thou hast gladdened all his enemies;
Obakisaki makasi ya bayini na ye mpe otondisaki banguna na ye nyonso na esengo,
43 Yea thou hast turned the edge of his sword, Neither hast thou caused him to stand in the battle;
osalaki kutu ete mopanga na ye ebalukela ye moko mpe osungaki ye te na bitumba;
44 Thou hast brought to an end his splendour, And, his throne—to the ground, hast thou hurled;
osilisaki kongenga ya lokumu na ye, obwakaki kiti na ye ya bokonzi na mabele;
45 Thou hast shortened the days of his youths, —Thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
okomisaki moke mikolo ya bolenge na ye mpe olatisaki ye kazaka ya soni.
46 How long, O Yahweh, Wilt thou hide thyself utterly? Shall thine indignation, burn like fire?
Yawe, kino tango nini? Okomibomba penza tango nyonso? Kino tango nini kanda na Yo ekongala lokola moto?
47 Remember how short-lived, I, am, Wherefore, in vain, hast thou created all the sons of Adam?
Kanisa motango ya mikolo ya bomoi na ngai! Okelaki penza bato mpo na suka oyo ezanga ata tina!
48 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death? That can deliver his soul from the hand of hades. (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
Moto nani akoki kozala na bomoi mpe azanga komona kufa? Nani akolonga kokima nguya ya mboka ya bakufi? (Sheol h7585)
49 Where are thy former lovingkindnesses, O My Lord? Thou didst swear unto David, in thy faithfulness!
Nkolo, wapi bolingo na Yo ya kala oyo alakaki Davidi na boyengebene na Yo na nzela ya ndayi?
50 Remember, O My Lord, the reproach of thy servants, I have carried in my bosom the insult of the peoples:
Nkolo, kanisa ndenge bazali kosakanela basali na Yo; kobosana te ete namemi mokumba ya bato oyo nyonso!
51 In that thy foes have reproached, O Yahweh, In that they have reproached the footsteps of thine Anointed One!
Yawe, kanisa mafinga ya banguna na Yo, oyo batiolaka bomoi ya mopakolami na Yo!
52 Blessed be Yahweh to times age-abiding, Amen, and Amen!
Tika ete Yawe apambolama libela na libela!
