Psalms 97
1 Yahweh, hath become king, Let the earth exult, Let the multitude of coastlands rejoice.
Yave weti yala, bika ntoto wuyangalala. Bika bisanga biobi bidi thama bimona nkini.
2 Clouds and thick darkness, are round about him, Righteousness and justice, are the establishing of his throne.
Matuti ayi tombi kinkobo binzungididi. Busonga ayi bufuana biawu fundasio yi kundu kiandi ki kipfumu.
3 Fire, before him, proceedeth, That it may consume, round about, his adversaries.
Mbazu yeti kuenda ku ntualꞌandi ayi yeti zinisa batu bobo beti kunlenda ku kadika ndambu
4 His lightnings, have illumined, the world, The earth, hath seen, and hath trembled;
Zitsiemo ziandi zieti kienzula nza, ntoto weti mona ayi weti tita.
5 The mountains, like wax, have melted, At the presence of Yahweh, At the presence, of the Lord of all the earth.
Miongo misiuta banga mafuta momo beti vinda mu bikundu va ntuala Yave, va ntuala Yave wu ntoto wumvimba.
6 The heavens, have declared, his righteousness, —And all the peoples, have seen, his glory.
Diyilu dieti yamikina busonga buandi ayi batu boso beti mona nkembo andi.
7 Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.
Babo bobo bambuongiminanga zimfikula beti fua tsoni; bobo beti kukiniemisa mu diambu di bitumba. Lumbuongimina, beno zinzambi zioso.
8 Zion, hath heard and rejoiced, And the daughters of Judah, have exulted, Because of thy righteous decisions, O Yahweh:
Sioni weti wa ayi weti mona khini ayi bana ba baketo ba Yuda beti yangalala mu diambu di zinzengolo ziaku, a Yave.
9 For, thou, Yahweh, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly hast thou exalted thyself above all gods.
Bila ngeyo Yave, widi Nzambi yizangama va ntoto wumvimba. Ngeyo widi wuyayusu ngolo va yilu zinzambi zioso.
10 Ye lovers of Yahweh! be haters of wrong, —He preserveth the lives of his men of lovingkindness, From the hand of the lawless, will he rescue them.
Bika babo beti zola Yave, balenda mambimbi. Bila weti keba luzingu lu banlongo bandi. Niandi wukubakulanga mu mioko mi batu bambimbi.
11 Light, is sown for the righteous one, And, for the upright in heart, rejoicing:
Kiezila kieti totuka mu diambu di batu basonga ayi khini mu diambu di bobo badi lulama mu mintima.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Yahweh, And give ye thanks, at the mention of his holiness.
Bika lumona khini mu Yave, beno luidi basonga ayi luzitisa dizina diandi di nlongo.
