Banzembo 67

1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi: nzembo ya koyemba na lindanda. Loyembo. Tika ete Nzambe asalela biso ngolu mpe apambola biso, tika ete angengisela biso elongi na Ye;

“For the leader of the music. To be sung on stringed instruments. A psalm.” O God! be merciful to us, and bless us, And cause thy face to shine upon us! (Pause)

2 mpo ete toyeba nzela na Yo kati na mokili, mpe lobiko na Yo kati na bikolo nyonso.

That thy doings may be known on earth, And thy saving power to all the nations.

3 Oh Nzambe, tika ete bikolo ekumisa Yo; tika ete bikolo nyonso ekumisa Yo!

Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!

4 Tika ete bato basepela, tika ete babeta milolo ya esengo, pamba te okambaka bikolo na bosembo, mpe otambolisaka bato awa na mabele.

Let all the nations be glad, and shout for joy! For justly dost thou judge the people, And govern the nations on the earth.

5 Oh Nzambe, tika ete bikolo ekumisa Yo; tika ete bikolo nyonso ekumisa Yo!

Let the nations praise thee, O God! Yea, let all the nations praise thee!

6 Mabele eboti bambuma na yango; tika ete Nzambe, Nzambe na biso, apambola biso.

For the earth hath yielded her increase, And God, our God, hath blessed us.

7 Tika ete Nzambe apambola biso; tika ete mokili mobimba etosa Ye!

May God continue to bless us, And may all the ends of the earth fear him!
