Banzembo 112

1 Bokumisa Yawe! Esengo na moto oyo atosaka Yawe mpe asepelaka makasi na mibeko na Ye.

Hallelujah! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in His commandments.

2 Bana na ye bakozala bato na nguya kati na mokili; ekeke ya bato ya sembo ekopambolama.

His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 Ndako na ye ezali na bokolongono mpe na bomengo, mpe bosembo na ye ewumelaka mpo na seko.

Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

4 Pole engengaka kati na molili mpo na bato ya alima, mpo na moto oyo alimbisaka baninga, ayokelaka bato mawa mpe azali sembo.

Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

5 Esengo na moto oyo ayokelaka bato mawa mpe adefisaka, mpe asalaka misala na ye kolanda bosembo.

It is well with the man who is generous and lends freely, whose affairs are guided by justice.

6 Solo, aninganaka ata moke te. Bakanisaka misala ya moto ya sembo tango nyonso.

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

7 Abangaka basango ya mabe te; motema na ye ezali na kimia, atiaka elikya na ye kati na Yawe.

He does not fear bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 Motema na ye eninganaka te, abangaka te kino akomona banguna na ye kozwa etumbu.

His heart is assured; he does not fear, until he looks in triumph on his foes.

9 Akabelaka babola na motema ya esengo; bosembo na ye ewumelaka libela na libela, lokumu na ye ekitaka te.

He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.

10 Moto mabe amonaka yango mpe asilikaka na zuwa, aliaka minu mpe alembaka nzoto. Posa ya bato mabe elimwaka.

The wicked man will see and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the desires of the wicked will perish.
