< Psalms 132 >

1 A song of ascents. Yahweh, for David's sake call to mind all his afflictions.
Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Yawe, kanisa Davidi; kanisa pasi na ye nyonso!
2 Call to mind how he swore to Yahweh, how he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob.
Alapaki ndayi oyo epai na Yawe, epai ya Elombe ya Jakobi:
3 He said, “I will not enter my house or get into my bed,
« Nakokota na ndako na ngai te, nakomata na mbeto na ngai te,
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes or rest to my eyelids
nakokanga miso na ngai te mpo na kolala pongi to mpo na konimba mwa moke
5 until I find a place for Yahweh, a tabernacle for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
kino nakozwa Esika mpo na Yawe, Ndako mpo na Elombe ya Jakobi. »
6 See, we heard about it in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.
Toyokaki sango na tina na yango na Efrata, tomonaki yango na elanga ya Yari.
7 We will go into God's tabernacle; we will worship at his footstool.
Tokende na Ndako na Ye, togumbama liboso ya enyatelo makolo na yango.
8 Arise, Yahweh, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength!
Yawe, telema, yaka na Esika na Yo ya bopemi! Yaka elongo na Sanduku ya Boyokani epai wapi nguya na Yo ezali.
9 May your priests be clothed with integrity; may your faithful ones shout for joy.
Tika ete Banganga-Nzambe na Yo balata bosembo lokola elamba; mpe tika ete basantu na Yo baganga na esengo!
10 For your servant David's sake, do not turn away from your anointed king.
Mpo na Davidi, mosali na Yo, kobengana mopakolami na Yo te!
11 Yahweh swore a sure oath to David, a sure oath that he will not revoke: “I will place one of your descendants on your throne.
Yawe alapaki epai ya Davidi ndayi ya solo, oyo akowangana te: « Nakotia moko kati na bakitani na yo na kiti na yo ya bokonzi.
12 If your sons keep my covenant and the laws that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forevermore.”
Soki bana na yo babateli boyokani mpe mibeko na ngai, bana na bango mpe bakokitana na yo lokola bakonzi, mpe ekosalema bongo mpo na libela. »
13 Certainly Yahweh has chosen Zion, he has desired her for his seat.
Pamba te Yawe aponaki Siona, asepelaki kokomisa yango Esika na Ye ya kovanda:
14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I desire her.
« Ezali Esika na ngai ya bopemi mpo na libela; nakovanda awa, pamba te nasepelaki na yango.
15 I will abundantly bless her with provisions. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Nakopambola, nakopambola yango na biloko ebele, nakotondisa babola na yango na bilei.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, her faithful ones will shout aloud for joy.
Nakolatisa Banganga-Nzambe na yango lobiko, mpe bato na yango bakoganga na esengo.
17 There I will make a horn to sprout for David and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
Kuna na Siona, nakobakisa nguya ya Davidi, mpe nakobimisela ye mokitani, mopakolami na ngai, lokola mwinda ya kopela.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on him his crown will shine.”
Nakoyokisa banguna na ye soni, mpe motole na ye ekongenga na mbunzu na ye. »
