Banzembo 148
1 Bokumisa Yawe! Bokumisa Yawe wuta na likolo, bokumisa Ye na bisika oyo eleki likolo.
Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise ye Him in high places.
2 Bokumisa Ye, bino ba-anjelu na Ye nyonso; bokumisa Ye, bino mampinga na Ye nyonso;
Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
3 bokumisa Ye, bino moyi mpe sanza; bokumisa Ye, bino minzoto nyonso oyo engengaka;
Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of light.
4 bokumisa Ye, bino oyo boleki likolo kati na likolo, mpe bino mayi oyo bozali na likolo!
Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are above the heavens.
5 Tika ete ekumisa Kombo ya Yawe! Pamba te apesaki mitindo, mpe ekelamaki.
They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and they were created.
6 Atiaki yango mpo na libela; apesaki mibeko oyo ekobongwana te.
And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He gave, and they pass not over.
7 Bokumisa Yawe wuta na mokili, ezala bilima ya mayi to mozindo nyonso,
Praise ye Jehovah 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 vapour, 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 cattle, 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 Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour [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 exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!
