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 Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing,

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

For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all the earth.

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

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

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

He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of Jacob that He loves. (Selah)

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

God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah 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.

Praise God — praise — give praise to our king, praise.

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

For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O understanding one.

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

God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat 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.

Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth, Greatly hath He been exalted!
