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.

[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.] Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph.

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

For the LORD Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth.

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

He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet.

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

He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved. (Selah)

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

God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a 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 praise to God, sing praises. Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

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 praises with understanding.

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

God reigns over the nations. God sits on 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 peoples are gathered together, the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted.
