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;

To the Overseer, with stringed instruments. — A Psalm, a Song. God doth favour us and bless us, Doth cause His face to shine with us. (Selah)

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

For the knowledge in earth of Thy way, among all nations of Thy salvation.

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

Praise Thee do peoples, O God, Praise Thee do peoples, all of them.

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

Rejoice and sing do nations, For Thou judgest peoples uprightly, And peoples on earth comfortest. (Selah)

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

Confess Thee do peoples, O God, Confess Thee do peoples — all of them.

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

Earth hath given her increase, God doth bless us — our God,

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

God doth bless us, and all ends of earth fear Him!
