Banzembo 29

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Bopesa Yawe, bino ba-anjelu ya Nzambe, bopesa Yawe nkembo mpe makasi.

A Psalm of David. Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

2 Bopesa Yawe nkembo oyo ekoki na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye; bogumbamela Yawe kati na kongenga ya bosantu na Ye.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.

3 Mongongo ya Yawe eyokani na likolo ya mayi, Nzambe ya nkembo azali koleka elongo na lokito, Yawe azali koleka elongo na lokito na likolo ya mayi minene.

The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters.

4 Mongongo ya Yawe ezali na nguya; mongongo ya Yawe ezali na lokumu mingi.

The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

5 Mongongo ya Yawe ebukaka banzete ya sedele; Yawe abukaka banzete ya sedele ya Libani.

The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

6 Apumbwisaka Libani lokola mwana ngombe, apumbwisaka Sirioni lokola mwana ya mpakasa.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox.

7 Mongongo ya Yawe ebimaka elongo na bakake ya moto.

The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire.

8 Mongongo ya Yawe elengisaka esobe; Yawe alengisaka Esobe ya Kadeshi.

The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh.

9 Mongongo ya Yawe esalaka ete mboloko ebota, esalaka mpe ete zamba etikala pamba. Kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, nyonso egangaka: « Nkembo! »

The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

10 Yawe avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi na likolo ya mpela; Yawe avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi lokola Mokonzi mpo na libela.

The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever.

11 Yawe apesaka bato na Ye makasi; Yawe apambolaka bato na Ye na nzela ya kimia.

The LORD gives His people strength; the LORD blesses His people with peace.
