Banzembo 92
1 Nzembo ya koyemba na mokolo ya Saba. Tala ndenge ezali malamu kosanzola Yawe mpe koyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo-Oyo-Oleki-Likolo!
A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
2 Tala ndenge ezali malamu kosakola bolingo na Yo, na tongo, mpe boyengebene na Yo, na butu,
to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night
3 na lindanda ya basinga zomi mpe na nzenze!
with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
4 Yawe, misala na Yo esepelisaka ngai! Nagangaka na esengo liboso ya misala ya maboko na Yo.
For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
5 Yawe, misala na Yo ezali minene, mpe makanisi na Yo ezali mozindo!
How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
6 Moto ya kilikili ayebaka te, mpe zoba asosolaka eloko moko te.
A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,
7 Tango bato mabe bakolaka lokola matiti, mpe bato nyonso ya misala mabe bafulukaka, ezalaka nde mpo ete babebisama libela.
that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
8 Kasi Yo, kuna na likolo, ozali Yawe mpo na libela.
But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
9 Yawe, banguna na Yo, banguna na Yo bakokufa penza; bato nyonso ya misala mabe bakolimwa.
For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
10 Okomisi ngai makasi lokola mpakasa, opakoli ngai mafuta ya sika.
But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.
11 Miso na ngai ekomi komona bayini na ngai, mpe matoyi na ngai ekomi koyoka banguna na ngai nyonso, oyo bamibongisa mpo na kosala ngai mabe.
My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.
12 Bato ya sembo bafulukaka lokola nzete ya mbila, bakolaka lokola nzete ya sedele ya Libani.
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Lokola bapikama ngwi kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, bamonaka bolamu kati na lopango ya Nzambe na biso.
Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Ata bakomi mibange, babotaka kaka, bazalaka kaka makasi mpe kitoko,
In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,
15 basakolaka: « Yawe azali alima, azali Libanga na biso; kati na Ye, mabe ezali te! »
to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
