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 him that excelleth. A Psalme committed to the sonnes of Korah. All people clap your hands: sing loude vnto God with a ioyfull voyce.

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

For the Lord is high, and terrible: a great King ouer all the earth.

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

He hath subdued the people vnder vs, and the nations vnder our feete.

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

Hee hath chosen our inheritance for vs: euen the glory of Iaakob whom he loued. (Selah)

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

God is gone vp with triumph, euen the Lord, with 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 prayses to God, sing prayses: sing prayses vnto our King, sing prayses.

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 prayses euery one that hath vnderstanding.

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

God reigneth ouer the heathen: God sitteth vpon his holy throne.

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

The princes of the people are gathered vnto the people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the world belong to God: he is greatly to be exalted.
