Psalms 132
1 A Canticle in steps. O Lord, remember David and all his meekness,
Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Yawe, kanisa Davidi; kanisa pasi na ye nyonso!
2 how he swore to the Lord, how he made a vow to the God of Jacob:
Alapaki ndayi oyo epai na Yawe, epai ya Elombe ya Jakobi:
3 I shall not enter into the tabernacle of my house, nor climb into the bed where I lie down;
« Nakokota na ndako na ngai te, nakomata na mbeto na ngai te,
4 I shall not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids
nakokanga miso na ngai te mpo na kolala pongi to mpo na konimba mwa moke
5 and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
kino nakozwa Esika mpo na Yawe, Ndako mpo na Elombe ya Jakobi. »
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah. We discovered it in the fields of the forest.
Toyokaki sango na tina na yango na Efrata, tomonaki yango na elanga ya Yari.
7 We will enter into his tabernacle. We will adore in the place where his feet stood.
Tokende na Ndako na Ye, togumbama liboso ya enyatelo makolo na yango.
8 Rise up, O Lord, into your resting place. You and the ark of your sanctification.
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 justice, and let your saints exult.
Tika ete Banganga-Nzambe na Yo balata bosembo lokola elamba; mpe tika ete basantu na Yo baganga na esengo!
10 For the sake of your servant David, do not turn away the face of your Christ.
Mpo na Davidi, mosali na Yo, kobengana mopakolami na Yo te!
11 The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.
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 sons will keep my covenant and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them, then their sons will sit upon your throne even forever.
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 the Lord has chosen Zion. He has chosen it as his dwelling place.
Pamba te Yawe aponaki Siona, asepelaki kokomisa yango Esika na Ye ya kovanda:
14 This is my resting place, forever and ever. Here I will dwell, for I have chosen it.
« Ezali Esika na ngai ya bopemi mpo na libela; nakovanda awa, pamba te nasepelaki na yango.
15 When blessing, I will bless her widow. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Nakopambola, nakopambola yango na biloko ebele, nakotondisa babola na yango na bilei.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will rejoice with great joy.
Nakolatisa Banganga-Nzambe na yango lobiko, mpe bato na yango bakoganga na esengo.
17 There, I will produce a horn to David. There, I have prepared a lamp for my Christ.
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 confusion. But my sanctification will flourish over him.
Nakoyokisa banguna na ye soni, mpe motole na ye ekongenga na mbunzu na ye. »
