Banzembo 66
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo. Bino bato ya mokili mobimba, bobetela Nzambe maboko!
To him that excelleth. A song or Psalme. Rejoice in God, all ye inhabitants of the earth.
2 Boyemba banzembo ya lokumu mpo na nkembo ya Kombo na Ye, bopesa lokumu na Ye nkembo.
Sing forth the glory of his name: make his praise glorious.
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 vnto God, Howe terrible art thou in thy workes! through the greatnesse of thy power shall thine enemies be in subiection vnto thee.
4 Mokili mobimba efukamaka liboso na Yo; bayembaka mpo na lokumu na Yo, basanzolaka Kombo na Yo. »
All the worlde shall worship thee, and sing vnto thee, euen sing of thy Name. (Selah)
5 Boya kotala misala ya Nzambe! Misala na Ye ya minene mpo na bana ya bato ebongi na kobanga yango.
Come and beholde the workes of God: he is terrible in his doing towarde the sonnes of men.
6 Abongolaki ebale monene mabele ya kokawuka; bakatisaki ebale na makolo ekawuka. Tozali kosepela kati na Ye.
He hath turned the Sea into drie land: they passe through the riuer on foote: there did we reioyce in him.
7 Na nguya na Ye, akonzaka mpo na libela; miso na Ye ekengelaka bikolo. Tika ete batomboki batombokela Ye te.
He ruleth the worlde with his power: his eyes beholde the nations: the rebellious shall not exalt them selues. (Selah)
8 Bino bikolo, bopambola Nzambe na biso! Bosala ete lokito ya masanzoli na Ye eyokana!
Prayse our God, ye people, and make the voyce of his prayse to be heard.
9 Asalaka ete totangama kati na bato ya bomoi. Abatelaki makolo na biso mpo ete tokweya te.
Which holdeth our soules in life, and suffereth not our feete to slippe.
10 Pamba te, Nzambe, omekaki biso, olekisaki biso kati na moto ndenge basalaka mpo na palata.
For thou, O God, hast proued vs, thou hast tryed vs as siluer is tryed.
11 Okangaki biso kati na motambo; otiaki mikumba ya kilo, na baloketo na biso.
Thou hast brought vs into the snare, and layed a strait chaine vpon our loynes.
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 caused men to ryde ouer our heads: we went into fire and into water, but thou broughtest vs out into a welthie place.
13 Nakokota kati na Ndako na Yo, nakomemela Yo makabo ya kotumba, nakokokisa bandayi na ngai epai na Yo.
I will go into thine House with burnt offrings, and will pay thee my vowes,
14 Bandayi oyo bibebu na ngai moko etatolaki mpe monoko na ngai elobaki na tango nazalaki kati na pasi.
Which my lippes haue promised, and my mouth hath spoken in mine 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 vnto thee the burnt offerings of fat rammes with incense: I will prepare bullocks and goates. (Selah)
16 Bino nyonso oyo botosaka Nzambe, boya koyoka! Nakoyebisa bino makambo oyo asali mpo na bomoi na ngai.
Come and hearken, all ye that feare God, and I will tell you what he hath done to my soule.
17 Nabelelaki Ye na monoko na ngai, mpe lolemo na ngai ekumisaki Ye.
I called vnto him with my mouth, and he was exalted with my tongue.
18 Soki nazalaki na masumu kati na motema na ngai, Nkolo alingaki koyoka ngai te.
If I regard wickednesse in mine heart, the Lord will not heare me.
19 Nzokande, Nzambe ayokaki ngai, ayokaki na bokebi libondeli na ngai.
But God hath heard me, and considered the voyce of my prayer.
20 Tika ete Nzambe akumisama! Aboyaki te koyoka libondeli na ngai mpe kotalisa ngai bolingo na Ye.
Praysed be God, which hath not put backe my prayer, nor his mercie from me.
