Banzembo 29
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Bopesa Yawe, bino ba-anjelu ya Nzambe, bopesa Yawe nkembo mpe makasi.
A Psalm of David [on the occasion] of the solemn assembly of the Tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, you sons of God, bring to the Lord young rams; bring to the Lord glory and honor.
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, [due] to his name; worship 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 glory has 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 mighty; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 Mongongo ya Yawe ebukaka banzete ya sedele; Yawe abukaka banzete ya sedele ya Libani.
[There is] the voice of the Lord who breaks the cedars; the Lord will break the cedars of Libanus.
6 Apumbwisaka Libani lokola mwana ngombe, apumbwisaka Sirioni lokola mwana ya mpakasa.
And he will beat them small, [even] Libanus itself, like a calf; and the beloved one is as a young unicorn.
7 Mongongo ya Yawe ebimaka elongo na bakake ya moto.
[There is] a voice of the Lord who divides a flame of fire.
8 Mongongo ya Yawe elengisaka esobe; Yawe alengisaka Esobe ya Kadeshi.
A voice of the Lord who shakes the wilderness; the Lord will shake the wilderness 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 strengthens the hinds, and will uncover the thickets: and in his temple every one speaks [of 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 will dwell on the waterflood: and the Lord will sit a 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.
