Banzembo 66
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo. Bino bato ya mokili mobimba, bobetela Nzambe maboko!
Unto the end, a canticle of a psalm of the resurrection. Shout with joy to God, all the earth,
2 Boyemba banzembo ya lokumu mpo na nkembo ya Kombo na Ye, bopesa lokumu na Ye nkembo.
Sing ye a psalm 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 unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.
4 Mokili mobimba efukamaka liboso na Yo; bayembaka mpo na lokumu na Yo, basanzolaka Kombo na Yo. »
Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: let it sing a psalm to thy name.
5 Boya kotala misala ya Nzambe! Misala na Ye ya minene mpo na bana ya bato ebongi na kobanga yango.
Come and see the works of God; who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.
6 Abongolaki ebale monene mabele ya kokawuka; bakatisaki ebale na makolo ekawuka. Tozali kosepela kati na Ye.
Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass 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 ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; let not them that provoke him he exalted in themselves.
8 Bino bikolo, bopambola Nzambe na biso! Bosala ete lokito ya masanzoli na Ye eyokana!
O bless our God, ye 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 hath set my soul to live: and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:
10 Pamba te, Nzambe, omekaki biso, olekisaki biso kati na moto ndenge basalaka mpo na palata.
For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.
11 Okangaki biso kati na motambo; otiaki mikumba ya kilo, na baloketo na biso.
Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast 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.
Thou hast set men over our heads. We have passed through tire and water, and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.
13 Nakokota kati na Ndako na Yo, nakomemela Yo makabo ya kotumba, nakokokisa bandayi na ngai epai na Yo.
I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: I will pay thee my vows,
14 Bandayi oyo bibebu na ngai moko etatolaki mpe monoko na ngai elobaki na tango nazalaki kati na pasi.
Which my lips have uttered, And my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
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 up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.
16 Bino nyonso oyo botosaka Nzambe, boya koyoka! Nakoyebisa bino makambo oyo asali mpo na bomoi na ngai.
Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you what great things he hath 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 I extolled him with my tongue.
18 Soki nazalaki na masumu kati na motema na ngai, Nkolo alingaki koyoka ngai te.
If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.
19 Nzokande, Nzambe ayokaki ngai, ayokaki na bokebi libondeli na ngai.
Therefore hath God heard me, and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.
20 Tika ete Nzambe akumisama! Aboyaki te koyoka libondeli na ngai mpe kotalisa ngai bolingo na Ye.
Blessed be God, who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
