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 the degrees.” 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 labor of thy hands: [then] wilt thou be happy, 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 is [then] as a fruitful vine in the recesses of thy house: thy children, like olive-plants round about thy table.

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

Behold, truly thus shall be blessed the man that feareth 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 Zion: and see thou the happiness of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

And see thou thy children's children: may there be peace upon Israel.
