Banzembo 29
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Bopesa Yawe, bino ba-anjelu ya Nzambe, bopesa Yawe nkembo mpe makasi.
“A psalm of David.” Give to Jehovah, O ye sons of God! Give to Jehovah glory and praise!
2 Bopesa Yawe nkembo oyo ekoki na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye; bogumbamela Yawe kati na kongenga ya bosantu na Ye.
Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Worship Jehovah in holy attire!
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 Jehovah is heard above the waters; The God of glory thundereth, -Jehovah above the great waters.
4 Mongongo ya Yawe ezali na nguya; mongongo ya Yawe ezali na lokumu mingi.
The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty;
5 Mongongo ya Yawe ebukaka banzete ya sedele; Yawe abukaka banzete ya sedele ya Libani.
The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh the cedars of Lebanon;
6 Apumbwisaka Libani lokola mwana ngombe, apumbwisaka Sirioni lokola mwana ya mpakasa.
Yea, he maketh them to leap like a calf, —Lebanon and Sirion like a young buffalo.
7 Mongongo ya Yawe ebimaka elongo na bakake ya moto.
The voice of Jehovah divideth the flames of fire.
8 Mongongo ya Yawe elengisaka esobe; Yawe alengisaka Esobe ya Kadeshi.
The voice of Jehovah maketh the wilderness tremble; Yea, Jehovah maketh the wilderness of Kadesh tremble.
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 Jehovah maketh the hinds bring forth, And layeth bare the forests; While, in his palace, every one declareth his glory.
10 Yawe avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi na likolo ya mpela; Yawe avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi lokola Mokonzi mpo na libela.
Jehovah sitteth above the flood; Yea, Jehovah sitteth king for ever.
11 Yawe apesaka bato na Ye makasi; Yawe apambolaka bato na Ye na nzela ya kimia.
Jehovah will give strength to his people; Jehovah will bless his people with peace.
