Banzembo 45
1 Nzembo ya bolingo oyo bana ya Kore bayembaki. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda oyo babengaka Lisi. Motema na ngai etondi na maloba kitoko. Namilobeli: Nakotatola misala na ngai mpo na mokonzi. Tika ete lolemo na ngai ezala lokola ekomeli ya mokomi ya mayele.
To him that excelleth on Shoshannim a song of love to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. Mine heart will vtter forth a good matter: I wil intreat in my workes of the King: my tongue is as the pen of a swift writer.
2 Oleki bato nyonso na kitoko, mpe bibebu na Yo ebimisaka ngolu; yango wana Nzambe apambola Yo mpo na libela.
Thou art fayrer then the children of men: grace is powred in thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for euer.
3 Elombe ya bitumba, kanga mopanga na loketo na Yo! Lata lokumu mpe kongenga.
Gird thy sword vpon thy thigh, O most mightie, to wit, thy worship and thy glory,
4 Kati na kongenga na Yo, zala molongi, mata na shar na Yo, telema mpo na solo, mpo na komikitisa, mpe mpo na bosembo; tika ete loboko na Yo ya mobali esala misala minene.
And prosper with thy glory: ride vpon the worde of trueth and of meekenes and of righteousnes: so thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5 Tika ete makonga na Yo ya minu etobola mitema ya banguna ya mokonzi; tika ete bikolo ekweya na se ya matambe na Yo.
Thine arrowes are sharpe to pearce the heart of the Kings enemies: therefore the people shall fall vnder thee.
6 Nzambe, Kiti ya Bokonzi na Yo ekowumela seko na seko; lingenda ya bokonzi na Yo ezali mpo na bosembo.
Thy throne, O God, is for euer and euer: the scepter of thy kingdome is a scepter of righteousnesse.
7 Olingaka bosembo mpe oyinaka mabe; yango wana, oh Nzambe, Nzambe na Yo apakoli Yo mafuta ya esengo, asepeli na Yo koleka baninga na Yo.
Thou louest righteousnes, and hatest wickednesse, because God, euen thy God hath anoynted thee with the oyle of gladnes aboue thy fellowes.
8 Bilamba na Yo nyonso ezali kolumba solo kitoko ya malasi ya mire, ya aloe mpe ya kaneli; wuta na bandako minene oyo ebongisama na pembe ya nzoko, mandanda ezali kosepelisa Yo.
All thy garments smelll of myrrhe and aloes, and cassia, when thou commest out of the yuorie palaces, where they haue made thee glad.
9 Bana basi ya bakonzi bazali kati na basi ya lokumu; mwasi ya mokonzi azali na ngambo ya loboko na Yo ya mobali, alati biloko ya wolo ya Ofiri.
Kings daugthers were among thine honorable wiues: vpon thy right hand did stand the Queene in a vesture of golde of Ophir.
10 Mwana na ngai ya mwasi, tala mpe yoka; bosana bato na yo mpe ndako ya tata na yo.
Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine eare: forget also thine owne people and thy fathers house.
11 Mokonzi asepeli na kitoko na yo; lokola azali nkolo na yo, gumbama liboso na ye.
So shall the King haue pleasure in thy beautie: for he is thy Lord, and reuerence thou him.
12 Tiri, mboka kitoko, bato oyo baleki na bozwi kati na bato bakomemela yo bakado mpo ete olinga bango.
And the daughter of Tyrus with the rich of the people shall doe homage before thy face with presents.
13 Mwana mwasi ya mokonzi azali kongenga na kitoko kati na ndako ya mokonzi, alati elamba batonga wolo.
The Kings daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of broydred golde.
14 Alati bilamba batonga bililingi kitoko na basinga, mpe bamemi ye epai ya mokonzi. Bamemi mpe balingami na ye epai na yo, bilenge basi oyo batambolaka elongo na ye.
She shalbe brought vnto the King in raiment of needle worke: the virgins that follow after her, and her companions shall be brought vnto thee.
15 Bamemi bango na nsayi mpe na esengo; bakoti na ndako ya mokonzi.
With ioy and gladnes shall they be brought, and shall enter into the Kings palace.
16 Bana na yo ya mibali bakozwa esika ya bakoko na bango; okotia bango bakambi kati na mokili mobimba.
In steade of thy fathers shall thy children be: thou shalt make them princes through all the earth.
17 Nakosala ete bikeke nyonso ebosana kombo na yo te. Boye bikolo nyonso ekosanzola Yo tango nyonso, seko na seko.
I will make thy Name to be remembred through all generations: therefore shall the people giue thanks vnto thee world without ende.
