< 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 degrees. Blessed [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.
For 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] as a fruitful vine by the sides of thy house: thy children like olive plants around thy table.
4 Ezali ndenge wana nde Yawe apambolaka moto oyo atosaka Ye.
Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth 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 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!
Yes, thou shalt see thy children's children, [and] peace upon Israel.
