Banzembo 149

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

Praise ye Yah, Sing to Yahweh a song that is new, his praise in the convocation of the men of lovingkindness.

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 sons 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 timbrel and lyre, Let them make music to him.

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

For Yahweh is taking pleasure in his people, He will beautify humbled ones with victory.

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

Let the men of lovingkindness exult as they glory, Let them shout aloud 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

The high songs of GOD be in their throat, and a two-edged sword in their hand:

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

To execute an avenging among the nations, rebukes 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 fetters, and their honoured ones with iron bands:

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 sentence written, An honour, shall it be to all his men of lovingkindness. Praise ye Yah!
