Banzembo 107
1 Bosanzola Yawe, pamba te azali malamu, mpe bolingo na Ye ewumelaka seko na seko!
Praise the Lord, because he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer.
2 Tika ete bato oyo Yawe asikolaki baloba bongo, ba-oyo akangolaki wuta na maboko ya monguna,
Let them, which haue bene redeemed of the Lord, shewe how he hath deliuered them from the hand of the oppressour,
3 ba-oyo asangisaki wuta na bikolo nyonso, wuta na este, na weste, na nor mpe na sude.
And gathered them out of the lands, from the East and from the West, from the North and from the South.
4 Ndambo bazalaki koyengayenga na esobe, na esika oyo ezanga bato, bamonaki te nzela ya engumba epai wapi bakoki kovanda.
When they wandered in the desert and wildernesse out of the waie, and founde no citie to dwell in,
5 Likolo ya nzala mpe ya posa ya mayi, bakomaki pene ya kokufa.
Both hungrie and thirstie, their soule fainted in them.
6 Bongo kati na pasi na bango, babelelaki Yawe, mpe akangolaki bango na mitungisi na bango.
Then they cried vnto the Lord in their trouble, and he deliuered them from their distresse,
7 Atambolisaki bango na nzela ya alima mpo ete bakende kovanda kati na engumba.

8 Tika ete basanzola Yawe mpo na bolingo mpe bikamwa na Ye mpo na bato!

9 Apesaki mayi epai ya bato oyo bazalaki na posa ya mayi mpe bilei epai ya bato oyo bazalaki na nzala.
For he satisfied the thirstie soule, and filled the hungrie soule with goodnesse.
10 Bato oyo bazalaki kovanda na bisika ya molili makasi mpe ya molili ya kufa bazalaki ya kokangama na minyoko mpe na minyololo ya bibende,
They that dwell in darkenesse and in the shadowe of death, being bounde in miserie and yron,
11 pamba te batombokelaki maloba na Nzambe mpe batiolaki mabongisi ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo.
Because they rebelled against the wordes of the Lord, and despised the counsell of the most High,
12 Abukaki lolendo ya mitema na bango na nzela ya misala makasi; bakweyaki, mpe moko te asungaki bango.
When he humbled their heart with heauines, then they fell downe and there was no helper.

Fooles by reason of their transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted.
18 Minoko na bango eyinaki bilei nyonso, mpe bakomaki pene ya bikuke ya kufa.

34 kobongola mabele oyo ebotaka bambuma mabele ya mungwa likolo ya mabe ya bavandi na yango.

37 babwaka bambuma na bilanga mpe balona banzete ya vino oyo ekobota bambuma ebele.
And sowe the fieldes, and plant vineyardes, which bring foorth fruitfull increase.
38 Apamboli bango, mpe bakomi ebele; mpe akitisi te motango ya bibwele na bango.

Yet he raiseth vp the poore out of miserie, and maketh him families like a flocke of sheepe.
