Psalms 108
1 God, I am (very confident/trusting completely) [IDM] in you. I will sing to praise [you]. with all my inner being.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzambe, motema na ngai ezali na kimia! Nakoyembela Yo, nakosanzola Yo na mindule; ezali mpe lokumu na ngai.
2 I will arise before the sun rises, and I will [praise you while I play] my [big] harp and my (lyre/small harp).
Lindanda mpe nzenze, bolamuka! Nalingi kolamusa tongo.
3 [I prayed], “Yahweh, I will thank you among [all] the people-groups; I will sing to praise you among the nations,
Nkolo, nakosanzola Yo kati na bato, nakoyembela Yo kati na bikolo.
4 because your faithful love for us reaches up to the heavens, and your faithfully doing what you promise [is as great as the distance] up to the clouds.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali monene koleka Lola, mpe bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na mapata.
5 Yahweh, [show] in the heavens that you are very great! And [show] your glory [to people] all over the earth!
Oh Nzambe, tika ete otombolama na likolo ya Lola, mpe nkembo na Yo ezala awa na mokili mobimba!
6 Answer our [prayers] and by your power help us [MTY] [to defeat our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, may be saved/rescued.”
Bikisa biso na nguya ya loboko na Yo mpe yanola biso, mpo ete balingami na Yo bakangolama!
7 And [Yahweh answered our prayers and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will joyfully [everything in] [city] and I will distribute among my people [the valuable things] in Succoth Valley.
Nzambe alobaki kati na Esika na Ye ya bule: « Nakolonga! Nakokabola Sishemi mpe nakotia bandelo ya lubwaku ya Sukoti.
8 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my war helmet, and [the tribe of Judah] is like the (scepter/stick that I hold which shows that I am the ruler) [MET];
Galadi ezali ya ngai, Manase mpe ezali ya ngai; Efrayimi ezali ekoti na ngai ya ebende, mpe Yuda ezali lingenda na ngai ya bokonzi.
9 the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moabi ezali sani monene oyo nasukolelaka, Edomi ezali esika oyo nabwakaka sandale na ngai. Nazali kobeta milolo ya bitumba mpo na kobundisa mokili ya Filisitia. »
10 [Because we want to attack the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.) [RHQ]
Nani akomema ngai na engumba batonga makasi? Nani akotambolisa ngai kino na Edomi?
11 God, we [hope that] [RHQ] you have not abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our army marches out [to fight our enemies].
Ezali Yo te, Nzambe oyo obwakaki biso, Nzambe oyo ozalaki lisusu te kokende bitumba elongo na mampinga na biso!
12 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Yaka kosunga biso, kangola biso liboso ya moyini! Pamba te lisungi ya bato ezali pamba.
13 [But] with you [helping us], we shall win; you will [enable us to] defeat our enemies.
Elongo na Nzambe, tokosala makambo minene mpe ya kokamwa; ezali Ye nde akonyata banguna na biso.
