Banzembo 148
1 Bokumisa Yawe! Bokumisa Yawe wuta na likolo, bokumisa Ye na bisika oyo eleki likolo.
Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the highest.
2 Bokumisa Ye, bino ba-anjelu na Ye nyonso; bokumisa Ye, bino mampinga na Ye nyonso;
Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 bokumisa Ye, bino moyi mpe sanza; bokumisa Ye, bino minzoto nyonso oyo engengaka;
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars and light.
4 bokumisa Ye, bino oyo boleki likolo kati na likolo, mpe bino mayi oyo bozali na likolo!
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and the water that is above the heavens.
5 Tika ete ekumisa Kombo ya Yawe! Pamba te apesaki mitindo, mpe ekelamaki.
Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he spoke, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
6 Atiaki yango mpo na libela; apesaki mibeko oyo ekobongwana te.
He has established them for ever, even for ever and ever: he has made an ordinance, and it shall not pass away.
7 Bokumisa Yawe wuta na mokili, ezala bilima ya mayi to mozindo nyonso,
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye serpents, and all deeps.
8 ezala moto to mvula ya mabanga, ezala mvula ya pembe to londende, ezala mopepe makasi oyo ekokisaka liloba na Ye;
Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy wind; the things that perform his word.
9 ezala bangomba milayi to bangomba mikuse, ezala banzete oyo ebotaka bambuma to banzete ya sedele,
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 ezala banyama ya zamba to bibwele nyonso, ezala bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu to bandeke,
wild beasts, and all cattle; reptiles, and winged birds:
11 ezala bakonzi ya mabele to bikolo nyonso, ezala bakambi to batambolisi nyonso ya mokili,
kings of the earth, and all peoples; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 ezala bilenge mibali to bilenge basi, ezala bampaka to bana mike!
young men and virgins, old men with youths:
13 Tika ete bakumisa Kombo ya Yawe! Pamba te Ye moko kaka nde aleki likolo; nkembo na Ye eleki mabele mpe likolo.
let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name only is exalted; his praise is above the earth and heaven,
14 Abongisi elombe mokangoli mpo na bato na Ye! Ezali likambo oyo bayengebene na Ye nyonso, bana nyonso ya Isalaele, bato oyo balingaka Ye, basengeli kokumisa Yawe mpo na yango. Bokumisa Yawe!
and he shall exalt the horn of his people, [there is] a hymn for all his saints, [even] of the children of Israel, a people who draw near to him.
