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 those also who 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 melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish in 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; may they rejoice and be happy.
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 to God! Sing praises to his name! Praise the one who rides through the plains of the Jordan River valley! Yahweh is his name! Rejoice 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, a judge of the widows, is God in the holy place where he lives.
6 Nzambe apesaka libota epai ya bato oyo bavandaka bango moko, abimisaka bakangami wuta na minyololo; kasi batomboki batikalaka na mabele ekawuka.
God puts the lonely into families; he brings out the prisoners with singing; but the rebellious live in a parched land.
7 Oh Nzambe, tango obimaki liboso ya bato na Yo, tango otambolaki na esobe,
God, when you went out before your people, when you marched 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 in God's presence, in the presence of God when he came to Sinai, in the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Nzambe, osopaki mvula ya mapamboli, olendisaki libula na Yo mpo ete elembaki.
You, God, sent a plentiful rain; you strengthened your inheritance when it was weary.
10 Oh Nzambe, bato na Yo bavandaka na mokili oyo obongisaki, na boboto na Yo, mpo na mobola.
Your people lived in it; You, God, gave from your goodness to the poor.
11 Na liloba moko kowuta na Nkolo, basi oyo bamemaka sango basangani bato ebele,
The Lord gave the orders, and those who announced them were a great army.
12 bakonzi ya mampinga bakimi, bapoti mbangu, mpe mwasi oyo atikali na ndako akaboli bomengo ya bitumba.
Kings of armies flee, they flee, and the women waiting at home divide the plunder:
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.
doves covered with silver with wings of yellow gold. When some of you people stayed among the sheepfolds, why did you do this?
14 Tango Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso abenganaki kuna bakonzi, anokisaki mvula ya pembe na ngomba Tsalimoni.
The Almighty scattered kings there, it was as when it snowed on Mount Zalmon.
15 Ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya Nzambe; ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya basonge ebele,
A mighty mountain is the hill country of Bashan; a high mountain is the hill country 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 do you look in envy, you high hill country, at the mountain which God desires for the place he will live? Indeed, Yahweh will live in it forever.
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, thousands upon thousands; the Lord is among them in the holy place, as at Sinai.
18 Yawe Nzambe, tango omataki na likolo, omemaki bakangami, ozwaki makabo epai ya bato, ata epai ya batomboki, mpo ete okoma kovanda kuna.
You have ascended on high; you have led away captives; you have received gifts from among men, even from those who fought against you, so that you, Yahweh God, might live there.
19 Tika ete Nkolo akumisama, mokolo na mokolo! Nzambe Mobikisi na biso alataka makambo na biso.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burdens, 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.
Our God is a God who saves; Yahweh the Lord is the one who is able to rescue us 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 strike through the heads of his enemies, through the hairy scalps of those who walk in offenses against him.
22 Nkolo alobi: « Wuta na Bashani, nakomema bango; wuta na mozindo ya ebale monene, nakomema bango,
The Lord said, “I will bring my enemies back from Bashan; I will bring them back 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. »
so that you may crush your enemies, dipping your foot in blood, and so that the tongues of your dogs may have their share from your 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 your processions, God, the processions of my God, my King, into the holy place.
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 first, the minstrels followed after, and in the middle were the unmarried girls playing tambourines.
26 Bopambola Nzambe kati na mayangani, bopambola Yawe wuta na etima ya Isalaele.
Bless God in the assemblies; praise Yahweh, you who are from 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 first Benjamin, the smallest tribe, then the leaders of Judah and their multitudes, the leaders of Zebulun and the leaders of Naphtali.
28 Nzambe na yo apesi mitindo epai ya makasi na yo; zala makasi. Nzambe, osaleli biso penza makambo.
Your God, Israel, has decreed your strength; reveal to us your power, God, as you have revealed it in times past.
29 Wuta na Tempelo na Yo ya Yelusalemi epai wapi bakonzi bamemelaka Yo makabo,
Reveal your power to us from your temple at Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
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.
Shout in battle against the wild beasts in the reeds, against the peoples, that multitude of bulls and calves. Humiliate them and make them bring you gifts; scatter the peoples who love to wage war.
31 Bazwi bakobimela na Ejipito; bato ya Kushi bakoya na lombangu, bakotombola maboko epai ya Nzambe.
Princes will come out of Egypt; Cush will hurry to reach out with her hands to God.
32 Bino, babokonzi ya mabele, boyembela Nzambe; boyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu ya Nkolo!
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; (Selah) Sing praises to Yahweh.
33 Boyembela Ye oyo atambolisaka mampinga kati na likolo, likolo ya libela; oyo, wuta na mongongo na Ye, agangaka makasi.
To him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which exist from ancient times; see, he lifts up his voice with power.
34 Bosakola ete nguya ezali ya Nzambe oyo nkembo na Ye ezali na Isalaele, mpe nguya na Ye ezali kati na mapata.
Ascribe strength to God; his majesty 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!
God, you are fearsome in your holy place; the God of Israel—he gives strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.
