Psalms 108

1 A Song, a Melody: David’s. Fixed, is my heart, O God, I will sing and touch the strings, even mine honour.

Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzambe, motema na ngai ezali na kimia! Nakoyembela Yo, nakosanzola Yo na mindule; ezali mpe lokumu na ngai.

2 Awake, O harp and lyre, I will awaken the dawn!

Lindanda mpe nzenze, bolamuka! Nalingi kolamusa tongo.

3 I will thank thee among the peoples, O Yahweh, and will sing praise unto thee, among the tribes of men.

Nkolo, nakosanzola Yo kati na bato, nakoyembela Yo kati na bikolo.

4 For, great, above the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, and, as far as the skies, thy faithfulness.

Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali monene koleka Lola, mpe bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na mapata.

5 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And, above all the earth, be thy glory.

Oh Nzambe, tika ete otombolama na likolo ya Lola, mpe nkembo na Yo ezala awa na mokili mobimba!

6 To the end thy beloved ones may be delivered, Oh save thou with thy right hand and answer me!

Bikisa biso na nguya ya loboko na Yo mpe yanola biso, mpo ete balingami na Yo bakangolama!

7 God, hath spoken in his holiness, I will exult! I will apportion Shechem! And, the Vale of Succoth, will I measure out;

Nzambe alobaki kati na Esika na Ye ya bule: « Nakolonga! Nakokabola Sishemi mpe nakotia bandelo ya lubwaku ya Sukoti.

8 Mine, is Gilead—mine, Manasseh, but, Ephraim, is the defence of my head, Judah, is my commander’s staff;

Galadi ezali ya ngai, Manase mpe ezali ya ngai; Efrayimi ezali ekoti na ngai ya ebende, mpe Yuda ezali lingenda na ngai ya bokonzi.

9 Moab, is my wash-bowl, Upon Edom, will I throw my shoe, Over Philistia, raise a shout of triumph.

Moabi ezali sani monene oyo nasukolelaka, Edomi ezali esika oyo nabwakaka sandale na ngai. Nazali kobeta milolo ya bitumba mpo na kobundisa mokili ya Filisitia. »

10 Who will conduct me to a fortified city? Who will lead me as far as Edom?

Nani akomema ngai na engumba batonga makasi? Nani akotambolisa ngai kino na Edomi?

11 Hast not thou, O God, rejected us? and wilt not go forth, O God, with our hosts.

Ezali Yo te, Nzambe oyo obwakaki biso, Nzambe oyo ozalaki lisusu te kokende bitumba elongo na mampinga na biso!

12 Grant us help out of distress, for, vain, is the deliverance of man:

Yaka kosunga biso, kangola biso liboso ya moyini! Pamba te lisungi ya bato ezali pamba.

13 In God, shall we do valiantly, He himself, therefore, shall tread down our adversaries.

Elongo na Nzambe, tokosala makambo minene mpe ya kokamwa; ezali Ye nde akonyata banguna na biso.
