Banzembo 72
1 Nzembo ya Salomo. Oh Nzambe, pesa na mokonzi mayele na Yo; mpe na mwana ya mokonzi, bosembo na Yo!
For Solomon. O God, give the king thy judgments, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.
2 Tika ete asambisa bato na Yo na bosembo; mpe babola na Yo, kolanda boyengebene.
He will judge thy people with righteousness, and thine afflicted with judgment.
3 Bangomba milayi ekomemela bato kimia; mpe bangomba mike, bosembo.
The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, by righteousness.
4 Akokota likambo ya babola kati na bato, akobikisa bana ya moto akelela mpe akobebisa monyokoli.
He will do justice to the afflicted of the people; he will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor.
5 Bongo bakotosa Yo tango nyonso moyi ekongala, tango nyonso sanza ekongenga, na bikeke nyonso.
They shall fear thee as long as sun and moon endure, from generation to generation.
6 Tika ete azala lokola mvula oyo ezali konoka na bilanga oyo balongoli matiti, lokola mamwe oyo ezali kopolisa mabele.
He shall come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7 Na tango na ye, moto ya sembo akokende liboso, mpe kimia ekofuluka kino sanza ekongenga lisusu te.
In his days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace till the moon be 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.
And he shall have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 Bavandi ya esobe bakofukama liboso na ye, mpe banguna na ye bakolembola putulu.
The dwellers in the desert shall bow before him, and his enemies shall lick the dust.
10 Bakonzi ya Tarsisi mpe ya bisanga bakomemela ye mpako ya mokonzi, bakonzi ya Saba mpe ya Seba bakopesa ye makabo.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render presents; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer tribute:
11 Bakonzi nyonso bakofukama liboso na ye, mpe bikolo nyonso ekosalela ye.
Yea, all kings shall bow down before him; all nations shall 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 crieth, and the afflicted, who hath no helper;
13 Akoyokela mobola mpe moto akelela mawa, mpe akobikisa moto akelela na kufa;
He will have compassion on the poor and needy, and will save the souls of the needy:
14 akosikola bango na minyoko mpe na makambo na kanza, pamba te bomoi na bango ezali motuya na miso na ye.
He will redeem their souls from oppression and violence, and precious shall their blood be in his sight.
15 Akozala na bomoi, bakopesa ye wolo ya Saba. Bakobanda kosambela mpo na ye tango nyonso mpe kopambola ye mikolo nyonso.
And he shall live; and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba; and prayer shall be made for him continually: all the day shall he be blessed.
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.
There shall be abundance of corn in the earth, upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon; and they of the city shall bloom like the herb of the earth.
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.
His name shall endure for ever; his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and [men] shall bless themselves in him; all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Tika ete Yawe Nzambe oyo asalaka Ye moko bikamwa, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama!
Blessed be Jehovah Elohim, the God of Israel, who alone doeth wondrous things!
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 for ever! and let the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen, and Amen.
20 Mabondeli ya Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi, esuki awa.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
