Psalms 99

1 The Lord reigns; let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne above the cherubim; let the earth shake!

Yawe azali kokonza; tika ete bato balenga! Avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi kati na basheribe; tika ete mabele eningana!

2 The Lord rules supreme in Zion, he is sovereign over all the nations.

Yawe azali monene kati na Siona, mpe Bokonzi na Ye ezali likolo ya bikolo nyonso.

3 Let them praise his greatness, and respect him for who he is—for he is holy,

Tika ete Kombo na Yo ya monene mpe ya somo esanzolama; ezali bule!

4 having kingly power. You love justice; you make impartial decisions. You have made sure everything is done in fairness and according to what's right.

Mokonzi azali na nguya, alingaka bosolo. Olendisaka bosembo. Osalaki bosembo mpe bosolo kati na Jakobi.

5 Give respect to the Lord our God! Bow down at his feet, for he is holy!

Bonetola Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe bogumbama liboso ya enyatelo makolo na Ye; azali Mosantu.

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests; Samuel also prayed to him. They called out to the Lord for help, and he answered them.

Moyize mpe Aron kati na Banganga-Nzambe na Ye, mpe Samuele kati na bato oyo bazalaki kobelela Kombo na Ye, bazalaki kobelela Yawe, mpe Ye azalaki koyanola bango.

7 He spoke to the people from the pillar of cloud, and they kept the laws and decrees he gave them.

Azalaki koloba na bango kati na likonzi ya lipata. Babatelaki malako na Ye mpe mibeko oyo apesaki bango.

8 Lord our God, you answered them. You were a forgiving God to them, but you punished them when they did wrong.

Yawe, Nzambe na biso, oyanolaki bango. Mpo na bango, ozalaki Nzambe oyo alimbisaka atako opesaki bango etumbu mpo na misala na bango ya mabe.

9 Honor the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain. For the Lord our God is holy!

Bonetola Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe bogumbama na kotala na ngambo ya ngomba na Ye ya bule. Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, azali bule.
