< 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 all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.
2 Oliaka mbuma ya mosala na Yo; ozali moto ya esengo mpe ozali na bofuluki.
You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!
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.
Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.
4 Ezali ndenge wana nde Yawe apambolaka moto oyo atosaka Ye.
See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.
5 Solo, Yawe akopambola yo wuta na Siona, mpe okomona bofuluki ya Yelusalemi mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na yo
The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.
6 mpe okomona bakitani na yo. Tika ete kimia ezala na Isalaele!
You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
