Psalms 84

1 For the leader. On the gittith. Of the Korahites, a psalm. How dearly loved is the place where you live, Lord of hosts!

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, tala ndenge bisika oyo ovandaka ezali kopesa posa!

2 How I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord. Now heart and flesh cry for joy to the living God.

Nzoto na ngai mobimba ebukani pene nakufa mpo na posa makasi ya lopango ya Yawe! Motema mpe nzoto na ngai ezali koganga epai ya Nzambe na bomoi.

3 Even the sparrow has found her a home and the swallow a nest, to lay her young, near your altar, Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

Ndeke ya moke ezwaka esika ya kovanda, mpe mbilambila esalaka zala epai wapi etiaka bana na yango, pene ya bitumbelo na Yo, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Mokonzi na ngai mpe Nzambe na ngai.

4 Happy those who live in your house, praising you evermore. (Selah)

Esengo na bavandi ya Ndako na Yo! Bakokumisa Yo tango nyonso!

5 Happy those whose strength is in you, people with pilgrim hearts.

Esengo na bato oyo bazwaka makasi kati na Yo; bakendaka na esengo na Tempelo na Yo!

6 As they pass through the valley of tears, they make it a place of fountains, clothed with the blessings of early rain.

Tango bakatisaka Lubwaku ya Baka, bakomisaka yango esika oyo etonda na bitima ya mayi, mpe mvula etondisaka yango na mapamboli.

7 From rampart to rampart on they march, till at last God reveals himself in Zion.

Makasi na bango ebakisamaka tango nyonso kino bakomaka na Siona, liboso ya Nzambe.

8 Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer, attend, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, yoka losambo na ngai! Nzambe ya Jakobi, yoka ngai!

9 Behold, O God, our defender, and look upon your anointed,

Oh Nzambe, Yo oyo ozali nguba na biso, tala! Tala elongi ya mopakolami na Yo!

10 for better a single day in your courts than a thousand in my own chambers: better stand at the door of the house of my God than live in the tents of ungodliness,

Lokola kovanda mokolo moko kati na lopango na Yo eleki kovanda mikolo nkoto moko na esika mosusu, naponaki kotelema na ekotelo ya Ndako ya Nzambe na ngai na esika ete navanda kati na bandako ya kapo ya bato mabe.

11 for the Lord is sun and shield, the Lord gives grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from the life that is blameless.

Pamba te, mpo na biso, Yawe Nzambe azali moyi mpe nguba; Yawe apesaka ngolu mpe nkembo, aboyaka kopesa eloko moko te epai ya bato oyo batambolaka bazanga pamela.

12 Lord of hosts, happy those whose trust is in you.

Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, esengo na moto oyo atiaka elikya kati na Yo!
