Banzembo 110

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Maloba ya Yawe epai ya nkolo na ngai: « Vanda na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali kino nakomisa banguna na yo enyatelo makolo na yo. »

Of David, a psalm. This said the Lord concerning my lord, ‘Sit at my right hand, till I set your foot on the neck of your foes.’

2 Wuta na Siona, Yawe akosala ete nguya na yo ya bokonzi ekende mosika, mpe okokonza kati na banguna na Yo.

On Zion the Lord is wielding your sceptre of might, and charges you to rule over the foes that surround you.

3 Na mokolo oyo okotanda basoda na yo na molongo mpo na bitumba, bato na yo bakotonda na mpiko, bilenge basoda na yo nyonso bakoya na lombangu epai na yo ndenge mamwe ebimaka na tongo.

The day that you march to battle your people will follow you gladly young warriors in holy array, like dew-drops, born of the morning.

4 Yawe alapaki ndayi oyo, akobongola maloba na Ye te: « Ozali Nganga-Nzambe mpo na libela kolanda molongo ya Melishisedeki! »

The Lord has sworn and will not repent, ‘As for you, you are priest for ever as Melchizedek was.’

5 Nkolo azali na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali, akopanza bakonzi na mokolo ya kanda na Ye.

By your side will the Lord shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

6 Akopesa bikolo etumbu: bikolo nyonso ekotonda na bibembe, mpe akonyata bakambi kati na mokili mobimba.

He will execute judgment filling the valleys with dead, the broad fields with shattered heads.

7 Na nzela, mokonzi amelaka mayi na mwa moluka; yango wana atombolaka moto.

He will drink of the brook by the way, and march onward with uplifted head.
