Banzembo 72
1 Nzembo ya Salomo. Oh Nzambe, pesa na mokonzi mayele na Yo; mpe na mwana ya mokonzi, bosembo na Yo!
Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.
2 Tika ete asambisa bato na Yo na bosembo; mpe babola na Yo, kolanda boyengebene.
May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.
3 Bangomba milayi ekomemela bato kimia; mpe bangomba mike, bosembo.
May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.
4 Akokota likambo ya babola kati na bato, akobikisa bana ya moto akelela mpe akobebisa monyokoli.
May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
5 Bongo bakotosa Yo tango nyonso moyi ekongala, tango nyonso sanza ekongenga, na bikeke nyonso.
May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.
6 Tika ete azala lokola mvula oyo ezali konoka na bilanga oyo balongoli matiti, lokola mamwe oyo ezali kopolisa mabele.
May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.
7 Na tango na ye, moto ya sembo akokende liboso, mpe kimia ekofuluka kino sanza ekongenga lisusu te.
May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.
8 Tika ete akonza longwa na ebale moko ya monene kino na ebale mosusu ya monene, longwa na ebale Efrate kino na suka ya mokili.
May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
9 Bavandi ya esobe bakofukama liboso na ye, mpe banguna na ye bakolembola putulu.
May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.
10 Bakonzi ya Tarsisi mpe ya bisanga bakomemela ye mpako ya mokonzi, bakonzi ya Saba mpe ya Seba bakopesa ye makabo.
May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
11 Bakonzi nyonso bakofukama liboso na ye, mpe bikolo nyonso ekosalela ye.
May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
12 Pamba te akokangola moto akelela oyo azali koganga mpo na kosenga lisungi, mpe mobola oyo azangi mosungi.
For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.
13 Akoyokela mobola mpe moto akelela mawa, mpe akobikisa moto akelela na kufa;
He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.
14 akosikola bango na minyoko mpe na makambo na kanza, pamba te bomoi na bango ezali motuya na miso na ye.
He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.
15 Akozala na bomoi, bakopesa ye wolo ya Saba. Bakobanda kosambela mpo na ye tango nyonso mpe kopambola ye mikolo nyonso.
Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.
16 Tika ete ble etonda kati na mokili, mbuma na yango ebota ebele na likolo ya bangomba lokola Libani! Wuta na engumba, bato bakozala na bofuluki lokola matiti ya elanga.
May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.
17 Tika ete kombo na ye ewumela libela na libela, ewumela tango nyonso moyi ekozala, mpo ete bato bakoma kotangaka kombo na ye wana bakobanda kopambolanaka, mpe bikolo nyonso ekoma kobengaka ye: moto ya esengo.
May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.
18 Tika ete Yawe Nzambe oyo asalaka Ye moko bikamwa, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama!
Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 Tika ete Kombo na Ye ya nkembo epambolama libela na libela! Tika ete mokili mobimba etonda na nkembo na Ye! Amen! Amen!
And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.
20 Mabondeli ya Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi, esuki awa.
Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
