< Psalms 132 >

1 A Song of Ascents. Yahweh, remember David and all his affliction,
Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Yawe, kanisa Davidi; kanisa pasi na ye nyonso!
2 how he swore to Yahweh, and vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
Alapaki ndayi oyo epai na Yawe, epai ya Elombe ya Jakobi:
3 “Surely I will not come into the structure of my house, nor go up into my bed;
« Nakokota na ndako na ngai te, nakomata na mbeto na ngai te,
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
nakokanga miso na ngai te mpo na kolala pongi to mpo na konimba mwa moke
5 until I find out a place for Yahweh, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
kino nakozwa Esika mpo na Yawe, Ndako mpo na Elombe ya Jakobi. »
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We found it in the field of Jaar.
Toyokaki sango na tina na yango na Efrata, tomonaki yango na elanga ya Yari.
7 “We will go into his dwelling place. We will worship at his footstool.”
Tokende na Ndako na Ye, togumbama liboso ya enyatelo makolo na yango.
8 Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.
Yawe, telema, yaka na Esika na Yo ya bopemi! Yaka elongo na Sanduku ya Boyokani epai wapi nguya na Yo ezali.
9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!
Tika ete Banganga-Nzambe na Yo balata bosembo lokola elamba; mpe tika ete basantu na Yo baganga na esengo!
10 For your servant David’s sake, don’t turn away the face of your anointed one.
Mpo na Davidi, mosali na Yo, kobengana mopakolami na Yo te!
11 Yahweh has sworn to David in truth. He will not turn from it: “I will set the fruit of your body on your throne.
Yawe alapaki epai ya Davidi ndayi ya solo, oyo akowangana te: « Nakotia moko kati na bakitani na yo na kiti na yo ya bokonzi.
12 If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”
Soki bana na yo babateli boyokani mpe mibeko na ngai, bana na bango mpe bakokitana na yo lokola bakonzi, mpe ekosalema bongo mpo na libela. »
13 For Yahweh has chosen Zion. He has desired it for his habitation.
Pamba te Yawe aponaki Siona, asepelaki kokomisa yango Esika na Ye ya kovanda:
14 “This is my resting place forever. I will live here, for I have desired it.
« Ezali Esika na ngai ya bopemi mpo na libela; nakovanda awa, pamba te nasepelaki na yango.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Nakopambola, nakopambola yango na biloko ebele, nakotondisa babola na yango na bilei.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation. Her saints will shout aloud for joy.
Nakolatisa Banganga-Nzambe na yango lobiko, mpe bato na yango bakoganga na esengo.
17 I will make the horn of David to bud there. I have ordained a lamp for my anointed.
Kuna na Siona, nakobakisa nguya ya Davidi, mpe nakobimisela ye mokitani, mopakolami na ngai, lokola mwinda ya kopela.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”
Nakoyokisa banguna na ye soni, mpe motole na ye ekongenga na mbunzu na ye. »
