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.

The song of Dauid. The erthe and the fulnesse therof is `the Lordis; the world, and alle that dwellen therynne `is the Lordis.

2 Pamba te ezali Yawe nde atia yango na likolo ya bibale minene mpe apikaki yango na likolo ya miluka.

For he foundide it on the sees; and made it redi on floodis.

3 Nani akokoka komata ngomba ya Yawe? Nani akokoka kotelema kati na Esika na Ye ya bule?

Who schal stie in to the hil of the Lord; ethir who schal stonde in the hooli place of hym?

4 Ezali moto oyo azali maboko pembe mpe motema peto, oyo atiaka elikya te na banzambe ya bikeko mpe alapaka ndayi ya lokuta te.

The innocent in hondis, and in cleene herte; whiche took not his soule in veyn, nether swoor in gile to his neiybore.

5 Yawe akopambola ye; mpe Nzambe, Mobikisi na ye, akokomisa ye sembo.

`This man schal take blessyng of the Lord; and mercy of God his helthe.

6 Ndenge wana nde ezali, ekeke ya bato oyo bakangamaka na Yo, ba-oyo balukaka elongi na Yo, Nzambe ya Jakobi.

This is the generacioun of men sekynge hym; of men sekynge the face of God of Jacob.

7 Bino bikuke, botombola mitondo na bino! Bino bikuke ya kala, bomitombola! Tika ete Mokonzi ya nkembo akota!

Ye princes, take vp youre yatis, and ye euerelastynge yatis, be reisid; and the kyng of glorie schal entre.

8 Nani azali Mokonzi yango ya nkembo? Ezali Yawe, Elombe ya nguya; Yawe, Elombe ya bitumba.

Who is this kyng of glorie? the Lord strong and myyti, the Lord myyti in batel.

9 Bino bikuke, botombola mitondo na bino! Bino bikuke ya kala, bomitombola! Tika ete Mokonzi ya nkembo akota!

Ye princes, take vp youre yatis, and ye euerlastynge yatis, be reisid; and the kyng of glorie schal entre.

10 Nani azali Mokonzi yango ya nkembo? Ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde azali Mokonzi ya nkembo!

Who is this kyng of glorie? the Lord of vertues, he is the kyng of glorie.
