Banzembo 122

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Nasepelaka tango balobaka na ngai: « Tokende na Tempelo ya Yawe! »

The song of the grecis of Dauid. I am glad in these thingis, that ben seid to me; We schulen go in to the hous of the Lord.

2 Yelusalemi, makolo na biso etelemi na bikuke na yo!

Oure feet weren stondynge; in thi hallis, thou Jerusalem.

3 Yelusalemi, engumba oyo etongama malamu; engumba oyo biteni na yango ekangana esika moko.

Jerusalem, which is bildid as a citee; whos part taking therof is in to the same thing.

4 Ezali kuna nde mabota ekendaka, mabota ya Yawe, kolanda mibeko kati na Isalaele, mpo na kosanzola Kombo ya Yawe.

For the lynagis, the lynagis of the Lord stieden thidir, the witnessing of Israel; to knouleche to the name of the Lord.

5 Pamba te bakiti ya bokonzi ya bato oyo basalelaka bosembo ezali kuna, bakiti ya bokonzi mpo na ndako ya Davidi.

For thei saten there on seetis in doom; seetis on the hous of Dauid.

6 Bosenga kimia ya Yelusalemi! Tika ete bato oyo balingaka yo, Yelusalemi, babika na kimia!

Preie ye tho thingis, that ben to the pees of Jerusalem; and abundaunce be to hem that louen thee.

7 Tika ete kimia ezala kati na yo mpe kati na bandako na yo ya bokonzi!

Pees be maad in thi vertu; and abundaunce in thi touris.

8 Likolo ya bolingo na ngai mpo na bandeko mpe balingami na ngai, nalobi: « Tika ete kimia ezala kati na yo! »

For my britheren and my neiyboris; Y spak pees of thee.

9 Likolo ya bolingo na ngai mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, nasengi bolamu mpo na yo.

For the hous of oure Lord God; Y souyte goodis to thee.
