Banzembo 149

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

Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the assembly of the saints.

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 him that made him: let the children 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 praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.

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

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify 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 saints exult in glory: let them sing 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 upon the nations, and punishments upon the peoples;

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

To bind their king’s 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. Praise ye the LORD.
