< 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 is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in his ways.
2 Oliaka mbuma ya mosala na Yo; ozali moto ya esengo mpe ozali na bofuluki.
For you will eat the labor of your hands; you will be blessed, and it will be well with you.
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 as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.
4 Ezali ndenge wana nde Yawe apambolaka moto oyo atosaka Ye.
Look, thus is the man blessed 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 out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6 mpe okomona bakitani na yo. Tika ete kimia ezala na Isalaele!
Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
