Banzembo 128

1 Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Esengo na moto oyo atosaka Yawe mpe alandaka banzela na Ye!

Blessed is every one that feareth YHWH; that walketh in his ways.

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

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: joyful 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 by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

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

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth YHWH.

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

YHWH shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
