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 your judgment to the king, and your righteousness to the king's son;
2 Tika ete asambisa bato na Yo na bosembo; mpe babola na Yo, kolanda boyengebene.
[that he may] judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with judgment.
3 Bangomba milayi ekomemela bato kimia; mpe bangomba mike, bosembo.
Let the mountains and the hills raise peace to your people:
4 Akokota likambo ya babola kati na bato, akobikisa bana ya moto akelela mpe akobebisa monyokoli.
he shall judge the poor of the people in righteousness, and save the children of the needy; and shall bring low the false accuser.
5 Bongo bakotosa Yo tango nyonso moyi ekongala, tango nyonso sanza ekongenga, na bikeke nyonso.
And he shall continue as long as the sun, and before the moon for ever.
6 Tika ete azala lokola mvula oyo ezali konoka na bilanga oyo balongoli matiti, lokola mamwe oyo ezali kopolisa mabele.
He shall come down as rain upon a fleece; and as drops falling 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 righteousness spring up; and abundance of peace till the moon be removed.
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 to the ends of the earth.
9 Bavandi ya esobe bakofukama liboso na ye, mpe banguna na ye bakolembola putulu.
The Ethiopians shall fall down 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 Tharsis, and the isles, shall bring presents: the kings of the Arabians and Saba shall offer gifts.
11 Bakonzi nyonso bakofukama liboso na ye, mpe bikolo nyonso ekosalela ye.
And all kings shall worship him; all the Gentiles shall serve him.
12 Pamba te akokangola moto akelela oyo azali koganga mpo na kosenga lisungi, mpe mobola oyo azangi mosungi.
For he has delivered the poor from the oppressor; and the needy who had no helper.
13 Akoyokela mobola mpe moto akelela mawa, mpe akobikisa moto akelela na kufa;
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall deliver 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 shall redeem their souls from usury and injustice: and their name [shall be] precious before him.
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 there shall be given him of the gold of Arabia: and [men] shall pray for him continually; [and] all the day shall they praise him.
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 an establishment on the earth on the tops of the mountains: the fruit thereof shall be exalted above Libanus, and they of the city shall flourish as 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 ever: his name shall endure longer than the sun: and all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.
18 Tika ete Yawe Nzambe oyo asalaka Ye moko bikamwa, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama!
Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who alone does wonders.
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 is his glorious name for ever, even for ever and ever: and all the earth shall be filled with his glory. So be it, so be it.
20 Mabondeli ya Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi, esuki awa.
The hymns of David the son of Jessae are ended.
