Banzembo 66
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo. Bino bato ya mokili mobimba, bobetela Nzambe maboko!
For the end, a Song of Psalm of resurrection. Shout to God, all the earth.
2 Boyemba banzembo ya lokumu mpo na nkembo ya Kombo na Ye, bopesa lokumu na Ye nkembo.
O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise.
3 Boloba na Nzambe: « Tala ndenge nini misala na Yo ebongi na kobanga yango! Mpo na nguya monene na Yo, banguna na Yo bakomi koluka kokoma baninga na Yo.
Say to God, How awful are your works! through the greatness of your power your enemies shall lie to you.
4 Mokili mobimba efukamaka liboso na Yo; bayembaka mpo na lokumu na Yo, basanzolaka Kombo na Yo. »
Let all the earth worship you, and sing to you; let them sing to your name. (Pause)
5 Boya kotala misala ya Nzambe! Misala na Ye ya minene mpo na bana ya bato ebongi na kobanga yango.
Come and behold the works of God; [he is] terrible in [his] counsels beyond the children of men.
6 Abongolaki ebale monene mabele ya kokawuka; bakatisaki ebale na makolo ekawuka. Tozali kosepela kati na Ye.
Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him,
7 Na nguya na Ye, akonzaka mpo na libela; miso na Ye ekengelaka bikolo. Tika ete batomboki batombokela Ye te.
who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke [him] be exalted in themselves. (Pause)
8 Bino bikolo, bopambola Nzambe na biso! Bosala ete lokito ya masanzoli na Ye eyokana!
Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
9 Asalaka ete totangama kati na bato ya bomoi. Abatelaki makolo na biso mpo ete tokweya te.
who quickens my soul in life, and does not suffer my feet to be moved.
10 Pamba te, Nzambe, omekaki biso, olekisaki biso kati na moto ndenge basalaka mpo na palata.
For you, O God, has proved us; you have tried us with fire as silver is tried.
11 Okangaki biso kati na motambo; otiaki mikumba ya kilo, na baloketo na biso.
You brought us into the snare; you laid afflictions on our back.
12 Otikaki moto komatela biso na moto. Tolekaki kati na moto mpe kati na mayi, mpe obimisaki biso kati na yango mpo na komema biso na bofuluki.
You did mount men upon our heads; we went through the fire and water; but you brought us out into [a place of] refreshment.
13 Nakokota kati na Ndako na Yo, nakomemela Yo makabo ya kotumba, nakokokisa bandayi na ngai epai na Yo.
I will go into your house with whole burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows,
14 Bandayi oyo bibebu na ngai moko etatolaki mpe monoko na ngai elobaki na tango nazalaki kati na pasi.
which my lips framed, and my mouth uttered in my affliction.
15 Lokola bambeka ya kotumba, nakobonzela Yo banyama minene, bameme elongo na bambeka ya malasi; nakobonzela Yo bangombe mpe bantaba ya mibali.
I will offer to you whole burnt sacrifices full of marrow, with incense and rams; I will sacrifice to you oxen with goats. (Pause)
16 Bino nyonso oyo botosaka Nzambe, boya koyoka! Nakoyebisa bino makambo oyo asali mpo na bomoi na ngai.
Come, hear, and I will tell, all you that fear God, how great things he has done for my soul.
17 Nabelelaki Ye na monoko na ngai, mpe lolemo na ngai ekumisaki Ye.
I cried to him with my mouth, and exalted him with my tongue.
18 Soki nazalaki na masumu kati na motema na ngai, Nkolo alingaki koyoka ngai te.
If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord listen [to me].
19 Nzokande, Nzambe ayokaki ngai, ayokaki na bokebi libondeli na ngai.
Therefore God has listened to me; he has attended to the voice of my prayer.
20 Tika ete Nzambe akumisama! Aboyaki te koyoka libondeli na ngai mpe kotalisa ngai bolingo na Ye.
Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
