Banzembo 76
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Ezali ya koyemba na lindanda. Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe ayebani kati na Yuda; Kombo na Ye ezali monene kati na Isalaele.
For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph. A song. God is famous in Judah; his reputation is great throughout Israel.
2 Ndako na Ye ya kapo ezali na Salemi; mpe esika na Ye ya kovanda ezali na Siona.
He lives in Jerusalem; his home is in Zion.
3 Ezali kuna nde abukaki makonga ya makasi, banguba, mipanga mpe bibundeli nyonso ya bitumba.
There he broke the flaming arrows, the shields, the swords, and the weapons of war. (Selah)
4 Ozali kongenga lokola mwinda, otonda na lokumu koleka bangomba ya babotoli bomengo ya bitumba.
You shine with light; you are more majestic than the everlasting mountains.
5 Bilombe nyonso ya mpiko bakweyisamaki, balalaki pongi na bango ya suka; basoda nyonso bakokaki lisusu te kotombola maboko.
Our most courageous enemies have been plundered. They sleep the sleep of death. Even the strongest of them could not raise a hand against us.
6 Nzambe ya Jakobi, na kanda na Yo, bato oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda elongo na bampunda bakweyi na somo.
At your command, God of Jacob, both horse and rider fell down dead.
7 Solo, ozali somo! Nani akokoka kotelema liboso na Yo soki osiliki?
You are terrifying—who can stand before you when you are angry?
8 Wuta na likolo, osalaka ete mokano na Yo eyokana na matoyi ya bato; mokili ekomaka na kobanga mpe evandaka kimia
From heaven you announced judgment. Everyone on earth was afraid and stood still,
9 tango, Yo Nzambe, otelemaka mpo na kosambisa mpe kobikisa banyokolami nyonso ya mokili.
when you stood up to judge, to save the oppressed people of the earth. (Selah)
10 Pamba te kanda makasi ya bato esanzolaka Yo, mpe olataka kanda ya batikali.
Even human anger against you makes you look glorious, for you wear it alike a crown.
11 Epai ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, bopesa bilaka mpe bokokisa yango. Tika ete bato nyonso oyo bazingeli Ye bamemela Nzambe ya somo makabo!
Make your promises to God and be sure to keep them. Everyone bring gifts to the awe-inspiring one.
12 Abukaka lolendo ya bakambi, mpe bakonzi ya mokili babangaka Ye.
For he humbles proud leaders; he terrifies the kings of the earth.
