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.
“To the chief musician, a psalm [and] song of David.” For thee praise is waiting, O God, in Zion: and unto thee shall vows be paid.
2 Yo oyo oyokaka mabondeli, bato nyonso bakoya epai na Yo.
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee all flesh shall come.
3 Kilo ya bambeba eleki makasi mpo na ngai; kasi Yo, olimbisaka masumu na biso.
The iniquitous things have become too mighty for me: our transgressions—these wilt thou wipe away.
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.
Happy is he whom thou choosest, and causest to approach, that he may dwell in thy courts: let us be satisfied with the happiness of thy house, the holiness of thy 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.
With terrific deeds in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation, who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the sea, that are far away;
6 Alendisaka bangomba, na nguya na Ye; atondi na mpiko.
Who setteth firmly the mountains by his power, who is girded with might;
7 Akitisaka makelele ya bibale minene, makelele ya bambonge na yango mpe makelele ya bikolo.
Who assuageth the roaring of the seas, the roaring of their waves, and the tumult of nations.
8 Bato oyo bavandaka na basuka ya mokili babangaka tango bamonaka bikamwa na Yo; osalaka ete este mpe weste eganga na esengo.
And they that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid of thy wondrous signs: the outgoings of the morning and evening thou causest to rejoice.
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.
Thou hast thought of the earth, and waterest her abundantly; thou greatly enrichest her; the brook of God is full of water: thou preparest their corn, when thou hast thus prepared her.
10 Olekisaka mayi kati na mikala, okweyisaka mipiku ya mabele, osopelaka mabele mayi mpe opambolaka milona.
Watering her furrows abundantly, smoothing down her ridges, thou softenest her with showers; thou blessest her growth.
11 Opambolaka mobu na bolamu na Yo, mpe banzela mike oyo olekelaka ebotaka ebele.
Thou hast crowned the year of thy goodness; and thy tracks drop fatness:
12 Bilanga ya esobe etondaka na bilei, mpe bangomba mike etondaka na esengo.
The pastures of the wilderness are dropping [with plenty]: and the hills are girt with gladness.
13 Bilanga etondaka na bameme mpe bantaba; mabwaku etondaka na ble, egangaka na esengo mpe eyembaka.
The meadows are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are enveloped with corn: men shout for joy, [yea, ] they also sing.
