Banzembo 68
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Loyembo. Soki Nzambe atelemi, banguna na Ye bapalanganaka, mpe bayini na Ye bakimaka mosika na Ye.
For the Chief Musician; A Psalm of David, a Song. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; Let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 Liboso ya Nzambe, bato mabe bakufaka, ndenge milinga elimwaka, mpe mafuta enyangwamaka na moto.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: As wax melteth before the fire, So let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Liboso ya Nzambe, bato ya sembo basepelaka, batondaka na esengo.
But let the righteous be glad; let them exult before God: Yea, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 Boyembela Nzambe, boyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye. Bofungola nzela mpo na Ye oyo atambolisaka mampinga na Ye kati na esobe. Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe. Botonda na esengo liboso na Ye.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: Cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; His name is Jehovah; and exult ye before him.
5 Kati na Ndako na Ye ya bule, Nzambe azali Tata ya bana bitike, mpe molobeli ya basi bakufisa mibali.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.
6 Nzambe apesaka libota epai ya bato oyo bavandaka bango moko, abimisaka bakangami wuta na minyololo; kasi batomboki batikalaka na mabele ekawuka.
God setteth the solitary in families: He bringeth out the prisoners into prosperity; But the rebellious dwell in a parched land.
7 Oh Nzambe, tango obimaki liboso ya bato na Yo, tango otambolaki na esobe,
O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, When thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
8 mabele eninganaki, likolo mpe esopaki mayi liboso ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya Sinai; liboso ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped [rain] at the presence of God: Yon Sinai [trembled] at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Nzambe, osopaki mvula ya mapamboli, olendisaki libula na Yo mpo ete elembaki.
Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, Thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Oh Nzambe, bato na Yo bavandaka na mokili oyo obongisaki, na boboto na Yo, mpo na mobola.
Thy congregation dwelt therein: Thou, O God, didst prepare of thy goodness for the poor.
11 Na liloba moko kowuta na Nkolo, basi oyo bamemaka sango basangani bato ebele,
The Lord giveth the word: The women that publish the tidings are a great host.
12 bakonzi ya mampinga bakimi, bapoti mbangu, mpe mwasi oyo atikali na ndako akaboli bomengo ya bitumba.
Kings of armies flee, they flee; And she that tarrieth at home divideth the spoil.
13 Boni, bokokoba kolala pongi kati na bandako na bino? Mapapu ya ebenga ezipami na se ya palata, mpe bansala na yango ezipami na se ya wolo.
When ye lie among the sheepfolds, [It is as] the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold.
14 Tango Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso abenganaki kuna bakonzi, anokisaki mvula ya pembe na ngomba Tsalimoni.
When the Almighty scattered kings therein, [It was as when] it snoweth in Zalmon.
15 Ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya Nzambe; ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya basonge ebele,
A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; A high mountain is the mountain of Bashan.
16 mpo na nini ozali kosala zuwa, ngomba ya basonge ebele, ngomba oyo Nzambe asepelaka kovanda? Nzokande Yawe akovanda kuna libela na libela.
Why look ye askance, ye high mountains, At the mountain which God hath desired for his abode? Yea, Jehovah will dwell [in it] for ever.
17 Motango ya bashar ya Nzambe ezali ebele, koleka minkoko; Nkolo azali kati na yango, kuna na Sinai, kati na Esika ya bule.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands upon thousands: The Lord is among them, [as in] Sinai, in the sanctuary.
18 Yawe Nzambe, tango omataki na likolo, omemaki bakangami, ozwaki makabo epai ya bato, ata epai ya batomboki, mpo ete okoma kovanda kuna.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men, Yea, [among] the rebellious also, that Jehovah God might dwell [with them].
19 Tika ete Nkolo akumisama, mokolo na mokolo! Nzambe Mobikisi na biso alataka makambo na biso.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily beareth our burden, Even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
20 Mpo na biso, Nzambe yango azali Nzambe oyo abikisaka; mpe bikuke ya kufa ezali ya Nkolo Yawe.
God is unto us a God of deliverances; And unto Jehovah the Lord belongeth escape from death.
21 Solo, Nzambe apanzaka mito ya banguna na Ye, oyo batambolaka kati na bomoi ya masumu, oyo mito na bango etonda na suki.
But God will smite through the head of his enemies, The hairy scalp of such a one as goeth on still in his guiltiness.
22 Nkolo alobi: « Wuta na Bashani, nakomema bango; wuta na mozindo ya ebale monene, nakomema bango,
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring [them] again from the depths of the sea;
23 mpo ete opanza lokolo na yo kati na makila, mpe mpo ete lolemo ya bambwa na yo ezwa eteni na yango. »
That thou mayest crush [them], [dipping] thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from [thine] enemies.
24 Oh Nzambe, bazali komona ndenge ozali koya; koya ya Nzambe na ngai, ya Mokonzi na ngai, kati na Esika ya bule.
They have seen thy goings, O God, Even the goings of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 Bayembi bazali liboso; sima na bango, bato oyo bazali kobeta mandanda ya basinga kati na bilenge basi oyo bazali kobeta bambonda ya mike.
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, In the midst of the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Bopambola Nzambe kati na mayangani, bopambola Yawe wuta na etima ya Isalaele.
Bless ye God in the congregations, Even the Lord, [ye that are] of the fountain of Israel.
27 Kuna, Benjame, leki ya suka, azali kotambolisa bakambi ya Yuda elongo na mampinga na bango, bakambi ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali.
There is little Benjamin their ruler, The princes of Judah [and] their council, The princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
28 Nzambe na yo apesi mitindo epai ya makasi na yo; zala makasi. Nzambe, osaleli biso penza makambo.
Thy God hath commanded thy strength: Strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Wuta na Tempelo na Yo ya Yelusalemi epai wapi bakonzi bamemelaka Yo makabo,
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem Kings shall bring presents unto thee.
30 bengana ngando oyo ebombami kati na matiti, lisanga ya bangombe ya mibali elongo na bana ngombe ya bikolo oyo batambolaka kati na mbongo ya bibende ya palata, mpe panza bikolo oyo basepelaka na bitumba.
Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, The multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the peoples, Trampling under foot the pieces of silver: He hath scattered the peoples that delight in war.
31 Bazwi bakobimela na Ejipito; bato ya Kushi bakoya na lombangu, bakotombola maboko epai ya Nzambe.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall haste to stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Bino, babokonzi ya mabele, boyembela Nzambe; boyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu ya Nkolo!
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; Oh sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
33 Boyembela Ye oyo atambolisaka mampinga kati na likolo, likolo ya libela; oyo, wuta na mongongo na Ye, agangaka makasi.
To him that rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; Lo, he uttereth his voice, a mighty voice.
34 Bosakola ete nguya ezali ya Nzambe oyo nkembo na Ye ezali na Isalaele, mpe nguya na Ye ezali kati na mapata.
Ascribe ye strength unto God: His excellency is over Israel, And his strength is in the skies.
35 Nzambe, wuta kati na bisika na Yo ya bule, obongi na botosi! Nzambe ya Isalaele apesaka na bato na Ye makasi mpe nguya. Tika ete Nzambe akumisama!
O God, [thou art] terrible out of thy holy places: The God of Israel, he giveth strength and power unto [his] people. Blessed be God.
