< Psalms 47 >
1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,
Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Bino nyonso, bikolo, bobeta maboko! Boganga epai na Nzambe na esengo nyonso.
2 For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.
Tala ndenge nini Yawe, Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, azali somo! Azali Mokonzi Monene na mokili mobimba.
3 He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet.
Atiaki bikolo na se na biso, mpe mabota na se ya bokonzi na biso.
4 He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)
Aponelaki biso libula na biso, oyo ezali lokumu ya Jakobi, molingami na Ye.
5 God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a trumpet.
Nzambe amataki kati na koganga ya esengo; Yawe ayaka kati na lokito ya kelelo.
6 Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.
Boyemba mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe, boyemba mpo na lokumu na Ye. Boyemba mpo na lokumu ya Mokonzi na biso, boyemba mpo na lokumu na Ye.
7 For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.
Pamba te Nzambe azali Mokonzi ya mokili mobimba; boyemba nzembo mpo na lokumu na Ye.
8 God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy throne,
Nzambe akonzaka bikolo nyonso; Nzambe avandi na Kiti na Ye ya bule.
9 Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
Bato minene ya bikolo basangani, lokola bato ya Nzambe ya Abrayami, pamba te bilombe ya mokili bazali ya Nzambe; atombwama makasi.
