Banzembo 47

1 Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Bino nyonso, bikolo, bobeta maboko! Boganga epai na Nzambe na esengo nyonso.

To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph!

2 Tala ndenge nini Yawe, Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, azali somo! Azali Mokonzi Monene na mokili mobimba.

For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.

3 Atiaki bikolo na se na biso, mpe mabota na se ya bokonzi na biso.

He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.

4 Aponelaki biso libula na biso, oyo ezali lokumu ya Jakobi, molingami na Ye.

He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

5 Nzambe amataki kati na koganga ya esengo; Yawe ayaka kati na lokito ya kelelo.

God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.

6 Boyemba mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe, boyemba mpo na lokumu na Ye. Boyemba mpo na lokumu ya Mokonzi na biso, boyemba mpo na lokumu na Ye.

Sing psalms of God, sing psalms; sing psalms unto our King, sing psalms!

7 Pamba te Nzambe azali Mokonzi ya mokili mobimba; boyemba nzembo mpo na lokumu na Ye.

For God is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.

8 Nzambe akonzaka bikolo nyonso; Nzambe avandi na Kiti na Ye ya bule.

God reigneth over the nations; God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.

9 Bato minene ya bikolo basangani, lokola bato ya Nzambe ya Abrayami, pamba te bilombe ya mokili bazali ya Nzambe; atombwama makasi.

The willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of the God of Abraham. For unto God [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
