< Banzembo 29 >
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Bopesa Yawe, bino ba-anjelu ya Nzambe, bopesa Yawe nkembo mpe makasi.
A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.
2 Bopesa Yawe nkembo oyo ekoki na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye; bogumbamela Yawe kati na kongenga ya bosantu na Ye.
Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
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 upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.
4 Mongongo ya Yawe ezali na nguya; mongongo ya Yawe ezali na lokumu mingi.
The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
5 Mongongo ya Yawe ebukaka banzete ya sedele; Yawe abukaka banzete ya sedele ya Libani.
The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.
6 Apumbwisaka Libani lokola mwana ngombe, apumbwisaka Sirioni lokola mwana ya mpakasa.
And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.
7 Mongongo ya Yawe ebimaka elongo na bakake ya moto.
The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:
8 Mongongo ya Yawe elengisaka esobe; Yawe alengisaka Esobe ya Kadeshi.
The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
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 prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his 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 maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever.
11 Yawe apesaka bato na Ye makasi; Yawe apambolaka bato na Ye na nzela ya kimia.
The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.
