Psalms 97
1 The Lord is King, let the earth have joy; let all the sea-lands be glad.
Yawe azali kokonza! Tika ete mabele esepela; tika ete ebele ya bisanga ezala na esengo!
2 Dark clouds are round him; his kingdom is based on righteousness and right judging.
Mapata mpe molili makasi ezingeli Ye, bosembo mpe bosolo ezali miboko ya Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi.
3 Fire goes before him, burning up all those who are against him round about.
Moto etambolaka liboso na Ye, ezikisaka banguna na Ye, oyo bazingeli Ye.
4 His bright flames give light to the world; the earth saw it with fear.
Mikalikali na Ye engengisaka mokili; mpe tango mabele emonaka bongo, elengaka.
5 The mountains became like wax at the coming of the Lord, at the coming of the Lord of all the earth.
Bangomba enyangwamaka lokola mafuta liboso ya Yawe, liboso ya Nkolo ya mokili mobimba.
6 The heavens gave out the news of his righteousness, and all the people saw his glory.
Likolo epanzaka sango ya bosembo na Ye, mpe bikolo nyonso bamonaka nkembo na Ye.
7 Shamed be all those who give worship to images, and take pride in false gods; give him worship, all you gods.
Tika ete soni ekanga basambeli nyonso ya bikeko, bato oyo bamikumisaka mpo na banzambe ya lokuta! Bino banzambe nyonso, bogumbama liboso na Ye!
8 Zion gave ear and was glad; and the daughters of Judah were full of joy, because of your decisions, O Lord.
Yawe, Siona eyoki yango mpe esepeli; bingumba ya Yuda ezali na esengo mpo na mikano na Yo!
9 For you, Lord, are most high over the earth; you are lifted up over all other gods.
Pamba te, na mokili mobimba, Yo nde Yawe, ozali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo; oleki banzambe nyonso.
10 You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.
Bino bato oyo bolingaka Yawe, boyina mabe! Yawe abatelaka bomoi ya bayengebene na Ye mpe akangolaka bango na maboko ya bato mabe.
11 Light is shining on the lovers of righteousness, and for the upright in heart there is joy.
Moyi elonami mpo na moto ya sembo, mpe esengo, mpo na bato oyo bazali na mitema alima.
12 Be glad in the Lord, you upright men; praising the memory of his holy name.
Bino bato ya sembo, bosepela kati na Yawe; bosanzola Ye na kotatola bosantu na Ye.
