< Banzembo 24 >

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Mabele mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ezali ya Yawe. Mokili mpe ezali ya Yawe, elongo na bavandi na yango.
A Psalme of David. The earth is the Lordes, and all that therein is: the worlde and they that dwell therein.
2 Pamba te ezali Yawe nde atia yango na likolo ya bibale minene mpe apikaki yango na likolo ya miluka.
For he hath founded it vpon the seas: and established it vpon the floods.
3 Nani akokoka komata ngomba ya Yawe? Nani akokoka kotelema kati na Esika na Ye ya bule?
Who shall ascende into the mountaine of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy place?
4 Ezali moto oyo azali maboko pembe mpe motema peto, oyo atiaka elikya te na banzambe ya bikeko mpe alapaka ndayi ya lokuta te.
Euen he that hath innocent handes, and a pure heart: which hath not lift vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne deceitfully.
5 Yawe akopambola ye; mpe Nzambe, Mobikisi na ye, akokomisa ye sembo.
He shall receiue a blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.
6 Ndenge wana nde ezali, ekeke ya bato oyo bakangamaka na Yo, ba-oyo balukaka elongi na Yo, Nzambe ya Jakobi.
This is the generation of them that seeke him, of them that seeke thy face, this is Iaakob. (Selah)
7 Bino bikuke, botombola mitondo na bino! Bino bikuke ya kala, bomitombola! Tika ete Mokonzi ya nkembo akota!
Lift vp your heads ye gates, and be ye lift vp ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Nani azali Mokonzi yango ya nkembo? Ezali Yawe, Elombe ya nguya; Yawe, Elombe ya bitumba.
Who is this King of glorie? the Lord, strong and mightie, euen the Lord mightie in battell.
9 Bino bikuke, botombola mitondo na bino! Bino bikuke ya kala, bomitombola! Tika ete Mokonzi ya nkembo akota!
Lift vp your heads, ye gates, and lift vp your selues, ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glorie shall come in.
10 Nani azali Mokonzi yango ya nkembo? Ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde azali Mokonzi ya nkembo!
Who is this King of glory? the Lord of hostes, he is the King of glorie. (Selah)
