Banzembo 65
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Mpo na Yo Nzambe, bozangi makelele ezali lokumu, kati na Siona; mpe mpo na Yo, ndayi ekokokisama.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile. O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.
2 Yo oyo oyokaka mabondeli, bato nyonso bakoya epai na Yo.
Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.
3 Kilo ya bambeba eleki makasi mpo na ngai; kasi Yo, olimbisaka masumu na biso.
Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.
4 Esengo na moto oyo oponi mpe obulisi mpo ete avanda kati na lopango na Yo. Tokotonda na bolamu ya Ndako na Yo, Tempelo na Yo ya bule.
Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:
5 Nzambe Mobikisi na biso, oyanolaka biso na bosembo, na nzela ya biloko ya somo; Ozali elikya ya mokili mobimba mpe ya bibale minene.

6 Alendisaka bangomba, na nguya na Ye; atondi na mpiko.
You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.
7 Akitisaka makelele ya bibale minene, makelele ya bambonge na yango mpe makelele ya bikolo.
You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,
8 Bato oyo bavandaka na basuka ya mokili babangaka tango bamonaka bikamwa na Yo; osalaka ete este mpe weste eganga na esengo.
and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.
9 Opambolaka mabele, ofulukisaka yango, otondisaka yango na bozwi. Otondisaka moluka ya Nzambe na mayi, obongiselaka bato ble, pamba te otondisaka mayi mpo na yango.
You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.
10 Olekisaka mayi kati na mikala, okweyisaka mipiku ya mabele, osopelaka mabele mayi mpe opambolaka milona.
Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.
11 Opambolaka mobu na bolamu na Yo, mpe banzela mike oyo olekelaka ebotaka ebele.
You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.
12 Bilanga ya esobe etondaka na bilei, mpe bangomba mike etondaka na esengo.
The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.
13 Bilanga etondaka na bameme mpe bantaba; mabwaku etondaka na ble, egangaka na esengo mpe eyembaka.
The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.
