Banzembo 111

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

Praise ye the LORD. I will give thanks unto the 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 of all them that have pleasure therein.

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

His work is honour and majesty: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

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

He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

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

He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant.

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 hath shewed his people the power of his works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

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 precepts are sure.

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

They are established for ever and ever, they are 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 hath sent redemption unto his people; he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend 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; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter: his praise endureth for ever.
