Banzembo 72
1 Nzembo ya Salomo. Oh Nzambe, pesa na mokonzi mayele na Yo; mpe na mwana ya mokonzi, bosembo na Yo!
A psalm on Solomon.
2 Tika ete asambisa bato na Yo na bosembo; mpe babola na Yo, kolanda boyengebene.
Give to the king thy judgment, O God: and to the king’s son thy justice: To judge thy people with justice, and thy poor with judgment.
3 Bangomba milayi ekomemela bato kimia; mpe bangomba mike, bosembo.
Let the mountains receive peace for the people: and the hills justice.
4 Akokota likambo ya babola kati na bato, akobikisa bana ya moto akelela mpe akobebisa monyokoli.
He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: and he shall humble the oppressor.
5 Bongo bakotosa Yo tango nyonso moyi ekongala, tango nyonso sanza ekongenga, na bikeke nyonso.
And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, throughout all generations.
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 upon the fleece; and as showers falling gently upon the earth.
7 Na tango na ye, moto ya sembo akokende liboso, mpe kimia ekofuluka kino sanza ekongenga lisusu te.
In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, till the moon be taken sway.
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 rule 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.
Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: and his enemies shall lick the ground.
10 Bakonzi ya Tarsisi mpe ya bisanga bakomemela ye mpako ya mokonzi, bakonzi ya Saba mpe ya Seba bakopesa ye makabo.
The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
11 Bakonzi nyonso bakofukama liboso na ye, mpe bikolo nyonso ekosalela ye.
And all kings of the earth shall adore 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 shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper.
13 Akoyokela mobola mpe moto akelela mawa, mpe akobikisa moto akelela na kufa;
He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor.
14 akosikola bango na minyoko mpe na makambo na kanza, pamba te bomoi na bango ezali motuya na miso na ye.
He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable 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 Arabia, for him they shall always adore: they shall bless him all the day.
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.
And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: and they of the city shall flourish like the grass 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.
Let his name be blessed for evermore: his name continueth before the sun. And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: all nations shall magnify him.
18 Tika ete Yawe Nzambe oyo asalaka Ye moko bikamwa, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama!
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who alone doth wonderful 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 the name of his majesty for ever: and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.
20 Mabondeli ya Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi, esuki awa.
The praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
