Banzembo 111

1 Bokumisa Yawe! Nakokumisa Yawe na motema na ngai mobimba kati na likita ya bato ya sembo mpe kati na mayangani.

Alleluia. I will give thee thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart, in the council of the upright, and [in] the congregation.

2 Yawe asalaka makambo minene; bato nyonso oyo balingaka yango bakanisaka yango.

The works of the Lord are great, sought out according to all his will.

3 Misala na Ye emonisaka nkembo mpe lokumu na Ye, mpe bosembo na Ye ewumelaka libela na libela.

His work is [worthy of] thanksgiving and honour: and his righteousness endures for ever and ever.

4 Alingaka ete bakanisa bikamwa na Ye. Yawe atondi na mawa mpe atalisaka ngolu na Ye.

He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered: the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

5 Apesaka bato oyo batosaka Ye bilei; akanisaka Boyokani na Ye tango nyonso.

He has given food to them that fear him: he will remember his covenant for ever.

6 Amonisaki nguya na Ye epai ya bato na Ye na nzela ya misala na Ye tango apesaki bango libula ya bato ya bikolo mosusu.

He has declared to his people the power of his works, to give them the inheritance of the heathen.

7 Misala na Ye nyonso elakisaka boyengebene mpe bosembo na Ye; mibeko na Ye nyonso ebongi na kondima yango.

The works of his hands are truth and judgment: all his commandments are sure:

8 Epesama mpo na libela, mpe esengeli kotosa yango na bosembo mpe na bosolo.

established for ever and ever, done in truth and uprightness.

9 Akangolaki bato na Ye, mpe asalaki Boyokani ya libela elongo na bango. Azali Nzambe Mosantu mpe Nzambe ya somo.

He sent redemption to his people: he commanded his covenant for ever: holy and fearful is his name.

10 Kotosa Yawe ezali mosisa ya bwanya; bato nyonso oyo batosaka Yawe bazali na mayele ya peto. Lokumu ya Yawe ezali ya libela na libela.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and all that act accordingly have a good understanding; his praise endures for ever and ever.
