< Psalms 148 >
1 Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah from the heavens; praise him in the heights.
Bokumisa Yawe! Bokumisa Yawe wuta na likolo, bokumisa Ye na bisika oyo eleki likolo.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels; praise ye him, all his hosts.
Bokumisa Ye, bino ba-anjelu na Ye nyonso; bokumisa Ye, bino mampinga na Ye nyonso;
3 Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars of light.
bokumisa Ye, bino moyi mpe sanza; bokumisa Ye, bino minzoto nyonso oyo engengaka;
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens.
bokumisa Ye, bino oyo boleki likolo kati na likolo, mpe bino mayi oyo bozali na likolo!
5 Let them praise the name of Jehovah, for he it is that commanded, and they were created:
Tika ete ekumisa Kombo ya Yawe! Pamba te apesaki mitindo, mpe ekelamaki.
6 And he established them for ever and ever; he made [for them] a statute which shall not pass.
Atiaki yango mpo na libela; apesaki mibeko oyo ekobongwana te.
7 Praise Jehovah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps;
Bokumisa Yawe wuta na mokili, ezala bilima ya mayi to mozindo nyonso,
8 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind fulfilling his word;
ezala moto to mvula ya mabanga, ezala mvula ya pembe to londende, ezala mopepe makasi oyo ekokisaka liloba na Ye;
9 Mountains and all hills, fruit-trees and all cedars;
ezala bangomba milayi to bangomba mikuse, ezala banzete oyo ebotaka bambuma to banzete ya sedele,
10 Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;
ezala banyama ya zamba to bibwele nyonso, ezala bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu to bandeke,
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth;
ezala bakonzi ya mabele to bikolo nyonso, ezala bakambi to batambolisi nyonso ya mokili,
12 Both young men and maidens, old men with youths, —
ezala bilenge mibali to bilenge basi, ezala bampaka to bana mike!
13 Let them praise the name of Jehovah: for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above the earth and the heavens.
Tika ete bakumisa Kombo ya Yawe! Pamba te Ye moko kaka nde aleki likolo; nkembo na Ye eleki mabele mpe likolo.
14 And he hath lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Hallelujah!
Abongisi elombe mokangoli mpo na bato na Ye! Ezali likambo oyo bayengebene na Ye nyonso, bana nyonso ya Isalaele, bato oyo balingaka Ye, basengeli kokumisa Yawe mpo na yango. Bokumisa Yawe!
