< Banzembo 128 >
1 Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Esengo na moto oyo atosaka Yawe mpe alandaka banzela na Ye!
A song of ascents. Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in His ways!
2 Oliaka mbuma ya mosala na Yo; ozali moto ya esengo mpe ozali na bofuluki.
For when you eat the fruit of your labor, blessings and prosperity will be yours.
3 Kati na ndako na yo, mwasi na yo azali lokola nzete ya vino oyo ebotaka bambuma ebele; bana na yo bazali lokola bankona ya nzete ya olive zingazinga ya mesa na yo.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine flourishing within your house, your sons like olive shoots sitting around your table.
4 Ezali ndenge wana nde Yawe apambolaka moto oyo atosaka Ye.
In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the LORD.
5 Solo, Yawe akopambola yo wuta na Siona, mpe okomona bofuluki ya Yelusalemi mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na yo
May the LORD bless you from Zion, that you may see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life,
6 mpe okomona bakitani na yo. Tika ete kimia ezala na Isalaele!
that you may see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel!
