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 Degrees. Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; who walk in his ways.

2 Oliaka mbuma ya mosala na Yo; ozali moto ya esengo mpe ozali na bofuluki.

Thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.

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.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine on the sides of thy house: thy children as young olive-plants round about thy table.

4 Ezali ndenge wana nde Yawe apambolaka moto oyo atosaka Ye.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that 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 thee out of Sion; and mayest thou see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 mpe okomona bakitani na yo. Tika ete kimia ezala na Isalaele!

And mayest thou see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
