Psalms 97
1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.
Yawe azali kokonza! Tika ete mabele esepela; tika ete ebele ya bisanga ezala na esengo!
2 Clouds and darkness surround him: righteousness and judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.
Mapata mpe molili makasi ezingeli Ye, bosembo mpe bosolo ezali miboko ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi.
3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
Moto etambolaka liboso na Ye, ezikisaka banguna na Ye, oyo bazingeli Ye.
4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.
Mikalikali na Ye engengisaka mokili; mpe tango mabele emonaka bongo, elengaka.
5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the LORD of the whole earth.
Bangomba enyangwamaka lokola mafuta liboso ya Yawe, liboso ya Nkolo ya mokili mobimba.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.
Likolo epanzaka sango ya bosembo na Ye, mpe bikolo nyonso bamonaka nkembo na Ye.
7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols; worship him, all [ye] gods.
Tika ete soni ekanga basambeli nyonso ya bikeko, bato oyo bamikumisaka mpo na banzambe ya lokuta! Bino banzambe nyonso, bogumbama liboso na Ye!
8 Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.
Yawe, Siona eyoki yango mpe esepeli; bingumba ya Yuda ezali na esengo mpo na mikano na Yo!
9 For thou, LORD, [art] high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.
Pamba te, na mokili mobimba, Yo nde Yawe, ozali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo; oleki banzambe nyonso.
10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
Bino bato oyo bolingaka Yawe, boyina mabe! Yawe abatelaka bomoi ya bayengebene na Ye mpe akangolaka bango na maboko ya bato mabe.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
Moyi elonami mpo na moto ya sembo, mpe esengo, mpo na bato oyo bazali na mitema alima.
12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Bino bato ya sembo, bosepela kati na Yawe; bosanzola Ye na kotatola bosantu na Ye.
