Banzembo 135
1 Bokumisa Yawe! Bokumisa Kombo ya Yawe! Bokumisa Ye, bino basali ya Yawe,
Praise ye the LORD! Praise ye the name of the LORD! Praise him, O ye servants of the LORD!
2 oyo botelemaka kati na Ndako ya Yawe, kati na lopango ya Ndako ya Nzambe na biso!
Ye who stand in the house of the LORD, In the courts of the house of our God!
3 Bokumisa Yawe! Pamba te Yawe azali malamu! Boyembela Kombo na Ye, pamba te ezali kitoko makasi.
Praise ye the LORD, for the LORD is good; Praise his name, for he is kind!
4 Pamba te Yawe aponaki Jakobi, Isalaele, mpo ete azala ya Ye moko.
For the LORD chose Jacob for himself, And Israel for his own possession.
5 Solo, ngai nayebi malamu ete Yawe azali monene, ete Nkolo na biso aleki banzambe nyonso.
I know that the LORD is great; That our Lord is above all gods.
6 Yawe asalaka nyonso oyo alingi, kuna na likolo mpe awa na mabele, kati na bibale minene mpe kati na mozindo nyonso.
All that the LORD pleaseth, that he doeth, In heaven and upon earth, In the sea, and in all deeps.
7 Amatisaka mapata wuta na suka ya mokili, atindaka mikalikali elongo na mvula, abimisaka mopepe wuta na bibombelo na yango.
He causeth the clouds to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings for the rain; He bringeth the wind from his store-houses.
8 Ye nde abomaki bana ya liboso ya Ejipito, kobanda na bato kino na banyama;
He smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast.
9 atindaki bilembo ya kokamwa mpe bikamwa kati na yo, Ejipito, mpo na kotelemela Faraon mpe basali na ye nyonso;
He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt! Against Pharaoh and all his servants!
10 abebisaki bikolo ebele mpe abomaki bakonzi ya nguya:
He smote many nations, And slew mighty kings;
11 Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori; Ogi, mokonzi ya Bashani; mpe bakonzi nyonso ya Kanana.
Sihon, the king of the Amorites, And Og, the king of Bashan, And all the kings of Canaan;
12 Mpe akabaki mikili na bango lokola libula, lokola libula epai ya bato na Ye, Isalaele.
And gave their land for an inheritance, For an inheritance to Israel, his people.
13 Oh Yawe, sango ya Kombo na Yo ewumelaka libela na libela! Yawe, bakopanza sango ya Kombo na Yo seko na seko!
Thy name, O LORD! endureth for ever; Thy memorial, O LORD! to all generations!
14 Pamba te Yawe akolimbisa bato na Ye, akoyokela basali na Ye mawa.
For the LORD judgeth his people, And hath compassion on his servants.
15 Banzambe ya bikolo ezali ya palata mpe ya wolo, esalema na maboko ya bato.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.
16 Ezali na minoko, kasi elobaka te; ezali na miso, kasi emonaka te;
They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not.
17 ezali na matoyi, kasi eyokaka te; ezali ata na pema te kati na minoko na yango.
They have ears, but they hear not; And there is no breath in their mouths.
18 Bato oyo basalaka yango mpe bato nyonso oyo batielaka yango motema bakokani na yango.
They that make them are like them; So is every one that trusteth in them.
19 Bato ya Isalaele, bopambola Yawe! Bakitani ya Aron, bopambola Yawe!
Praise the LORD, O house of Israel! Praise the LORD, O house of Aaron!
20 Bakitani ya Levi, bopambola Yawe! Bino nyonso oyo botosaka Yawe, bopambola Yawe!
Praise the LORD, O house of Levi! Ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!
21 Tika ete, wuta na Siona, Yawe apambolama, Ye oyo avandaka na Yelusalemi! Bokumisa Yawe!
Praised be the LORD out of Zion, He that dwelleth in Jerusalem! Praise ye the LORD!
