Banzembo 72
1 Nzembo ya Salomo. Oh Nzambe, pesa na mokonzi mayele na Yo; mpe na mwana ya mokonzi, bosembo na Yo!
BY SOLOMON. O God, give Your judgments 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.
He judges Your people with righteousness, And Your poor with judgment.
3 Bangomba milayi ekomemela bato kimia; mpe bangomba mike, bosembo.
The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by righteousness.
4 Akokota likambo ya babola kati na bato, akobikisa bana ya moto akelela mpe akobebisa monyokoli.
He judges the poor of the people, Gives deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruises the oppressor.
5 Bongo bakotosa Yo tango nyonso moyi ekongala, tango nyonso sanza ekongenga, na bikeke nyonso.
They fear You with the sun, and before the moon, Generation—generations.
6 Tika ete azala lokola mvula oyo ezali konoka na bilanga oyo balongoli matiti, lokola mamwe oyo ezali kopolisa mabele.
He comes down as rain on mown grass, As showers—sprinkling the earth.
7 Na tango na ye, moto ya sembo akokende liboso, mpe kimia ekofuluka kino sanza ekongenga lisusu te.
The righteous flourish in His days, And abundance of peace until the moon is not.
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 rules 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.
Desert-dwellers 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.
Kings of Tarshish and of the islands send back a present. Kings of Sheba and Seba bring a reward near.
11 Bakonzi nyonso bakofukama liboso na ye, mpe bikolo nyonso ekosalela ye.
And all kings bow themselves to Him, All nations serve Him,
12 Pamba te akokangola moto akelela oyo azali koganga mpo na kosenga lisungi, mpe mobola oyo azangi mosungi.
For He delivers the needy who cries, And the poor when he has no helper,
13 Akoyokela mobola mpe moto akelela mawa, mpe akobikisa moto akelela na kufa;
He has pity on the poor and needy, And He saves 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 redeems their soul from fraud and from violence, And their blood is precious in His eyes.
15 Akozala na bomoi, bakopesa ye wolo ya Saba. Bakobanda kosambela mpo na ye tango nyonso mpe kopambola ye mikolo nyonso.
And He lives, and the gold of Sheba [is] given to Him, And prayer is continually made for Him, All day He is continually 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 is a handful of grain in the earth, On the top of mountains, Its fruit shakes like Lebanon, And they flourish out of the city as 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 is for all time, Before the sun is His Name continued, And they bless themselves in Him, All nations pronounce Him blessed.
18 Tika ete Yawe Nzambe oyo asalaka Ye moko bikamwa, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama!
Blessed is YHWH God, God of Israel, He alone is doing 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] the Name of His glory for all time, And the whole earth is filled [with] His glory. Amen and amen!
20 Mabondeli ya Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi, esuki awa.
The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended.
