Banzembo 19
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Likolo etatolaka nkembo ya Nzambe, mapata elobaka misala na Ye.
Unto the end. A psalm for David. The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2 Mokolo moko na moko eyebisaka yango epai ya mokolo oyo elandaka, mpe butu moko na moko eyebisaka yango epai ya butu oyo elandaka.
Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3 Ezali na nzela ya lisolo te, na nzela mpe ya maloba te oyo mingongo na yango eyokanaka te.
There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.
4 Nzokande, sango na yango eyokanaka na mokili mobimba, maloba na yango ekomaka kino na suka ya mokili. Na likolo, Nzambe atie ndako ya kapo mpo na moyi.
Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
5 Moyi yango ebimaka na tongo ndenge elenge mobali oyo abali sika abimaka na shambre na ye, mpe ndenge elombe atambolaka na elikya ya kolonga na momekano.
He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:
6 Moyi ebimaka wuta na songe moko ya likolo, mpe esukisaka mobembo na yango na songe mosusu; eloko moko te ezangaka kozwa molunge na yango.
His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
7 Mibeko ya Yawe ezali ya kokoka, epesaka biso lisusu nguya ya kozala na bomoi. Maloba na Ye nyonso ezali ya solo, ebongi na kotiela yango elikya, mpe epesaka bwanya epai ya zoba.
The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
8 Mitindo ya Yawe ezali alima, esepelisaka motema; malako na Ye ezali peto, epesaka bososoli.
The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
9 Kotosa Yawe ezali peto, ewumelaka libela na libela. Mitindo ya Yawe ezali ya solo, nyonso ezali penza sembo.
The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
10 Ezali na motuya koleka wolo, koleka wolo ebele ya peto, wolo oyo basangisa na eloko mosusu te; eleki mafuta ya nzoyi na elengi, mafuta ya nzoyi oyo ezali kobima sika.
More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Epesaka mosali na Yo mayele; moto nyonso oyo atosaka yango azwaka litomba mingi.
For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
12 Nani akoki kososola mabunga na ye oyo asali na nko te? Limbisa masumu na ngai, oyo nayebi te!
Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord:
13 Batela lisusu mosali na Yo mpo ete nasala mabe na nko te. Na bongo, nakozala moto ya kokoka mpe nakosala bambeba minene te.
And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
14 Yawe, Libanga na ngai mpe Mosikoli na ngai, tika ete maloba mpe makanisi ya motema na ngai esepelisa Yo!
And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight. O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.
