Banzembo 149

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

Hallelujah. Sing unto the Lord a new song, his praise in the congregation of the pious.

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 children of Zion exult 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: with the timbrel and harp let them sing praises unto him.

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

For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will adorn 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 pious be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their couches.

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

The exalted praises of God are in their mouth, and a two-edged sword is in their hand;

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

To execute vengeance on the nations, and chastisements on the people:

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 [which is] written: this is an honor for all his pious servants. Hallelujah.
