Banzembo 19
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Likolo etatolaka nkembo ya Nzambe, mapata elobaka misala na Ye.
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. The heavens [are] recounting the glory of God, And the expanse [is] declaring 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 utters speech, And night to night shows knowledge.
3 Ezali na nzela ya lisolo te, na nzela mpe ya maloba te oyo mingongo na yango eyokanaka te.
There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice has not been 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 line has gone forth into all the earth, And their sayings to the end of the world, In them He placed a tent for the sun,
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.
And he, as a bridegroom, goes out from his covering, He rejoices as a mighty one To run the path.
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.
From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his revolution [is] to their ends, And nothing is hid 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 YHWH [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The testimonies of YHWH [are] steadfast, Making the simple wise,
8 Mitindo ya Yawe ezali alima, esepelisaka motema; malako na Ye ezali peto, epesaka bososoli.
The precepts of YHWH [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart, The command of YHWH [is] pure, 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 YHWH [is] clean, standing for all time, The judgments of YHWH [are] true, They have been righteous—together.
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.
They are more desirable than gold, Indeed, than much fine gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb.
11 Epesaka mosali na Yo mayele; moto nyonso oyo atosaka yango azwaka litomba mingi.
Also—Your servant is warned by them, “In keeping them [is] a great reward.”
12 Nani akoki kososola mabunga na ye oyo asali na nko te? Limbisa masumu na ngai, oyo nayebi te!
[His] errors—who understands? Declare me innocent from hidden ones,
13 Batela lisusu mosali na Yo mpo ete nasala mabe na nko te. Na bongo, nakozala moto ya kokoka mpe nakosala bambeba minene te.
Also—keep back Your servant from presumptuous ones, Do not let them rule over me, Then I am perfect, And declared innocent of much transgression.
14 Yawe, Libanga na ngai mpe Mosikoli na ngai, tika ete maloba mpe makanisi ya motema na ngai esepelisa Yo!
Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my heart, Be for a pleasing thing before You, O YHWH, my rock, and my redeemer!
