Banzembo 148

1 Bokumisa Yawe! Bokumisa Yawe wuta na likolo, bokumisa Ye na bisika oyo eleki likolo.

Praise YAH! Praise YHWH from the heavens, Praise Him in high places.

2 Bokumisa Ye, bino ba-anjelu na Ye nyonso; bokumisa Ye, bino mampinga na Ye nyonso;

Praise Him, all His messengers, Praise 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 stars of light.

4 bokumisa Ye, bino oyo boleki likolo kati na likolo, mpe bino mayi oyo bozali na likolo!

Praise Him, heavens of heavens, And you waters that are above the heavens.

5 Tika ete ekumisa Kombo ya Yawe! Pamba te apesaki mitindo, mpe ekelamaki.

They praise the Name of YHWH, For He commanded, and they were created.

6 Atiaki yango mpo na libela; apesaki mibeko oyo ekobongwana te.

And He establishes them forever and for all time, He gave a statute, and they do not pass over.

7 Bokumisa Yawe wuta na mokili, ezala bilima ya mayi to mozindo nyonso,

Praise YHWH from the earth, Dragons 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 and hail, snow and vapor, Whirlwind doing His word;

9 ezala bangomba milayi to bangomba mikuse, ezala banzete oyo ebotaka bambuma to banzete ya sedele,

The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars,

10 ezala banyama ya zamba to bibwele nyonso, ezala bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu to bandeke,

The wild beast, and all livestock, Creeping thing, and winged bird,

11 ezala bakonzi ya mabele to bikolo nyonso, ezala bakambi to batambolisi nyonso ya mokili,

Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges of earth,

12 ezala bilenge mibali to bilenge basi, ezala bampaka to bana mike!

Young men, and also maidens, Aged 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.

They praise the Name of YHWH, For His Name alone has been set on high, His splendor [is] above earth and heavens.

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 exalts the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, A people near Him. Praise YAH!
