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.
Unto the end, a psalm of a canticle for David himself. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.
2 Liboso ya Nzambe, bato mabe bakufaka, ndenge milinga elimwaka, mpe mafuta enyangwamaka na moto.
As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish 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.
And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted 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 ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,
5 Kati na Ndako na Ye ya bule, Nzambe azali Tata ya bana bitike, mpe molobeli ya basi bakufisa mibali.
Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God in his holy place:
6 Nzambe apesaka libota epai ya bato oyo bavandaka bango moko, abimisaka bakangami wuta na minyololo; kasi batomboki batikalaka na mabele ekawuka.
God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
7 Oh Nzambe, tango obimaki liboso ya bato na Yo, tango otambolaki na esobe,
O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass through the desert:
8 mabele eninganaki, likolo mpe esopaki mayi liboso ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya Sinai; liboso ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
9 Nzambe, osopaki mvula ya mapamboli, olendisaki libula na Yo mpo ete elembaki.
Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
10 Oh Nzambe, bato na Yo bavandaka na mokili oyo obongisaki, na boboto na Yo, mpo na mobola.
In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.
11 Na liloba moko kowuta na Nkolo, basi oyo bamemaka sango basangani bato ebele,
The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power.
12 bakonzi ya mampinga bakimi, bapoti mbangu, mpe mwasi oyo atikali na ndako akaboli bomengo ya bitumba.
The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
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.
If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
14 Tango Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso abenganaki kuna bakonzi, anokisaki mvula ya pembe na ngomba Tsalimoni.
When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
15 Ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya Nzambe; ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya basonge ebele,
The mountain of God is a fat mountain. A curdled mountain, a fat mountain.
16 mpo na nini ozali kosala zuwa, ngomba ya basonge ebele, ngomba oyo Nzambe asepelaka kovanda? Nzokande Yawe akovanda kuna libela na libela.
Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
17 Motango ya bashar ya Nzambe ezali ebele, koleka minkoko; Nkolo azali kati na yango, kuna na Sinai, kati na Esika ya bule.
The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place.
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 captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of the Lord God.
19 Tika ete Nkolo akumisama, mokolo na mokolo! Nzambe Mobikisi na biso alataka makambo na biso.
Blessed be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
20 Mpo na biso, Nzambe yango azali Nzambe oyo abikisaka; mpe bikuke ya kufa ezali ya Nkolo Yawe.
Our God is the God of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues 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 shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
22 Nkolo alobi: « Wuta na Bashani, nakomema bango; wuta na mozindo ya ebale monene, nakomema bango,
The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, I will turn them into the depth 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 thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
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, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his 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.
Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
26 Bopambola Nzambe kati na mayangani, bopambola Yawe wuta na etima ya Isalaele.
In the churches bless ye God the Lord, from the fountains 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 Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
28 Nzambe na yo apesi mitindo epai ya makasi na yo; zala makasi. Nzambe, osaleli biso penza makambo.
Command thy strength, O God: confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
29 Wuta na Tempelo na Yo ya Yelusalemi epai wapi bakonzi bamemelaka Yo makabo,
From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to 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 beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars:
31 Bazwi bakobimela na Ejipito; bato ya Kushi bakoya na lombangu, bakotombola maboko epai ya Nzambe.
Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
32 Bino, babokonzi ya mabele, boyembela Nzambe; boyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu ya Nkolo!
Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye to God,
33 Boyembela Ye oyo atambolisaka mampinga kati na likolo, likolo ya libela; oyo, wuta na mongongo na Ye, agangaka makasi.
Who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:
34 Bosakola ete nguya ezali ya Nzambe oyo nkembo na Ye ezali na Isalaele, mpe nguya na Ye ezali kati na mapata.
Give ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.
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!
God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God.
