Banzembo 149

1 Bokumisa Yawe! Boyembela Yawe nzembo ya sika, bokumisa Ye na banzembo kati na mayangani ya bayengebene!

Hallelujah! Sing unto Jehovah a new song; [sing] his praise in the congregation of the godly.

2 Tika ete Isalaele asepela na Mokeli na Ye! Tika ete bato ya Siona bazala na esengo mpo na Mokonzi na bango!

Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; let the sons of Zion be joyful in their King.

3 Tika ete bakumisa Kombo na Ye na mabina; tika ete babetela Ye bambunda mpe mandanda!

Let them praise his name in the dance; let them sing psalms unto him with the tambour and harp.

4 Pamba te Yawe asepelaka na bato na Ye, alatisaka babola motole ya elonga.

For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people; he beautifieth the meek with salvation.

5 Tika ete bayengebene na Yawe basepela kati na lokumu oyo; tika ete bayemba na esengo na bambeto na bango!

Let the godly exult in glory; let them shout for joy upon their beds.

6 Tika ete bakumisa Nzambe kati na minoko na bango elongo na mopanga ya minu na bangambo nyonso mibale kati na maboko na bango

Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

7 mpo na kozongisa mabe na mabe ya bikolo mpe kopesa bato etumbu;

To execute vengeance against the nations, [and] punishment among the peoples;

8 mpo na kokanga bakonzi na bango na minyololo, kokanga bato na bango ya lokumu na mabende

To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;

9 mpe mpo na kopesa bango etumbu oyo ekomama na tina na bango! Yango nde lokumu ya bayengebene na Ye nyonso. Bokumisa Yawe!

To execute upon them the judgment written. This honour have all his saints. Hallelujah!
