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. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.

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

When thou eatest the labour of thy hands, happy shalt thou be, 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, in the innermost parts of thy house; thy children like olive plants, round about thy table.

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

Behold, surely thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD.

5 Solo, Yawe akopambola yo wuta na Siona, mpe okomona bofuluki ya Yelusalemi mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na yo

The LORD bless thee out of Zion; and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life;

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

And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
