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 psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Happy is he who feareth the LORD, Who walketh in his ways!

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

Thou shalt eat the labor 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 like a fruitful vine within thy house; Thy children like olive-branches round about thy table.

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

Behold! thus happy is the man who feareth the LORD!

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

Jehovah shall bless thee out of Zion, And thou shalt see the prosperity 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. Peace be to Israel!
