Psalms 147
1 Praise ye Jah! For [it is] good to praise our God, For pleasant — comely [is] praise.
Bokumisa Yawe! Tala ndenge ezali malamu kosanzola Nzambe na biso, mpe ndenge ezali kitoko kokumisa Ye!
2 Building Jerusalem [is] Jehovah, The driven away of Israel He gathereth.
Yawe azali kotonga lisusu Yelusalemi epai wapi akosangisa bato ya Isalaele oyo bakenda na bowumbu.
3 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is binding up their griefs.
Abikisaka bato oyo batutami na mitema mpe akawusaka bapota na bango.
4 Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth names.
Ayebi motango ya minzoto mpe abengaka moko na moko na kombo na yango.
5 Great [is] our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His understanding there is no narration.
Nkolo na biso azali monene mpe atonda na nguya; mayele na Ye ezali na mondelo te.
6 Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.
Yawe asungaka babola, kasi akitisaka bato mabe kino na mabele.
7 Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God with a harp.
Boyembela Yawe nzembo ya matondi! Bobetela Nzambe na biso lindanda mpo na kosanzola Ye!
8 Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up [on] mountains,
Azipaka likolo na mapata, abongisaka mvula mpo na mokili mpe abotisaka matiti na bangomba.
9 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.
Apesaka bilei epai ya bibwele mpe epai ya bana ya yanganga oyo ezali koganga mpo na nzala.
10 Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the legs of a man is He pleased.
Asepelaka na makasi ya mpunda te mpe alingaka te nguya ya moto;
11 Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those waiting for His kindness.
kasi Yawe asepelaka na bato oyo batosaka Ye, ba-oyo batielaka bolingo na Ye motema.
12 Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion.
Yelusalemi, pesa nkembo na Yawe! Siona, kumisa Nzambe na yo!
13 For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath blessed thy sons in thy midst.
Alendisaka bikangelo ya bikuke na yo mpe apambolaka bana na yo epai na yo.
14 Who is making thy border peace, [With] the fat of wheat He satisfieth Thee.
Atiaka kimia na etuka na yo mpe atondisaka yo na farine.
15 Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, Very speedily doth His word run.
Atindaka mitindo na Ye na mokili, mpe maloba na Ye epanzanaka mbala moko!
16 Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He scattereth.
Anokisaka mvula ya pembe lokola bapwale ya meme mpe apanzaka mvula ya mabanga lokola putulu;
17 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who doth stand?
akweyisaka mabanga ya mvula yango lokola mabanga ya mike-mike; nani akoki kotelema na malili na yango?
18 He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth His wind to blow — the waters flow.
Soki kaka atindi liloba, malili ekomaka kosila moke-moke; mpe soki atindi mopepe, mayi ekomaka kotiola.
19 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.
Asakolaki liloba na Ye epai ya Jakobi, mibeko mpe malako na Ye epai ya Isalaele.
20 He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!
Asalaki bongo na ekolo ata moko te; boye eyebaka mpe mibeko na Ye te. Bokumisa Yawe!
