Banzembo 65
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Mpo na Yo Nzambe, bozangi makelele ezali lokumu, kati na Siona; mpe mpo na Yo, ndayi ekokokisama.
For the leader. A psalm of David. A song. It is seemly to praise you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem.
2 Yo oyo oyokaka mabondeli, bato nyonso bakoya epai na Yo.
O you who hear prayer, unto you shall all flesh come.
3 Kilo ya bambeba eleki makasi mpo na ngai; kasi Yo, olimbisaka masumu na biso.
Our sins are too mighty for us, our transgressions you only can cover them.
4 Esengo na moto oyo oponi mpe obulisi mpo ete avanda kati na lopango na Yo. Tokotonda na bolamu ya Ndako na Yo, Tempelo na Yo ya bule.
Happy the person who you choose to live beside you in your courts. O may we be filled with the joys of your house, of your holy temple.
5 Nzambe Mobikisi na biso, oyanolaka biso na bosembo, na nzela ya biloko ya somo; Ozali elikya ya mokili mobimba mpe ya bibale minene.
In dread deeds you loyally answer us, O God of our salvation, whom all ends of the earth put their trust in, and islands far away.
6 Alendisaka bangomba, na nguya na Ye; atondi na mpiko.
By your strength you establish the hills, you are armed with might;
7 Akitisaka makelele ya bibale minene, makelele ya bambonge na yango mpe makelele ya bikolo.
you still the roaring of seas, and the turmoil of nations,
8 Bato oyo bavandaka na basuka ya mokili babangaka tango bamonaka bikamwa na Yo; osalaka ete este mpe weste eganga na esengo.
so that those who live at earth’s bounds are awed at your signs: the lands of the sunrise and sunset you make to ring with joy.
9 Opambolaka mabele, ofulukisaka yango, otondisaka yango na bozwi. Otondisaka moluka ya Nzambe na mayi, obongiselaka bato ble, pamba te otondisaka mayi mpo na yango.
You visit and water the earth; you greatly enrich her with the river of God, which is full of water. You prepare the corn thereof,
10 Olekisaka mayi kati na mikala, okweyisaka mipiku ya mabele, osopelaka mabele mayi mpe opambolaka milona.
watering her furrows, settling her ridges; you make her soft with showers, and bless what grows thereon.
11 Opambolaka mobu na bolamu na Yo, mpe banzela mike oyo olekelaka ebotaka ebele.
You crown the year with your goodness, your chariot tracks drip with fatness.
12 Bilanga ya esobe etondaka na bilei, mpe bangomba mike etondaka na esengo.
The desert pastures are lush, the hills greened with joy.
13 Bilanga etondaka na bameme mpe bantaba; mabwaku etondaka na ble, egangaka na esengo mpe eyembaka.
The meadows are clothed with flocks, the valleys are covered with corn; they shout to each other and sing.
