Banzembo 72
1 Nzembo ya Salomo. Oh Nzambe, pesa na mokonzi mayele na Yo; mpe na mwana ya mokonzi, bosembo na Yo!
A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
2 Tika ete asambisa bato na Yo na bosembo; mpe babola na Yo, kolanda boyengebene.
That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.
3 Bangomba milayi ekomemela bato kimia; mpe bangomba mike, bosembo.
Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.
4 Akokota likambo ya babola kati na bato, akobikisa bana ya moto akelela mpe akobebisa monyokoli.
May he judge the poor of the people, and 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.
They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as 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.
May he come down like rain upon 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 let 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.
May he have dominion also 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.
Let them that dwell in the wilderness 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.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Bakonzi nyonso bakofukama liboso na ye, mpe bikolo nyonso ekosalela ye.
Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves 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 when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13 Akoyokela mobola mpe moto akelela mawa, mpe akobikisa moto akelela na kufa;
He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.
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 soul from oppression and violence, and precious will 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.
That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, 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.
May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like 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.
May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.
18 Tika ete Yawe Nzambe oyo asalaka Ye moko bikamwa, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama!
Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only 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.
