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.
“To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm or song of Assaph.” In Judah hath God been made known: in Israel is his name great.
2 Ndako na Ye ya kapo ezali na Salemi; mpe esika na Ye ya kovanda ezali na Siona.
And in Salem was his tabernacle made, and his dwelling-place in Zion.
3 Ezali kuna nde abukaki makonga ya makasi, banguba, mipanga mpe bibundeli nyonso ya bitumba.
There broke he the shining arrows of the bow, shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 Ozali kongenga lokola mwinda, otonda na lokumu koleka bangomba ya babotoli bomengo ya bitumba.
Thou art more brilliant, more excellent than the mountains [full] of prey.
5 Bilombe nyonso ya mpiko bakweyisamaki, balalaki pongi na bango ya suka; basoda nyonso bakokaki lisusu te kotombola maboko.
Bereft of reason are the stouthearted, they slumber their sleep: and none of the men of might have found [the use of] their hands.
6 Nzambe ya Jakobi, na kanda na Yo, bato oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda elongo na bampunda bakweyi na somo.
From thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, lie in deep sleep both chariot and horse.
7 Solo, ozali somo! Nani akokoka kotelema liboso na Yo soki osiliki?
Thou—thou art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thy anger [is kindled]?
8 Wuta na likolo, osalaka ete mokano na Yo eyokana na matoyi ya bato; mokili ekomaka na kobanga mpe evandaka kimia
From heaven hast thou caused [thy] sentence to be heard: the earth feared, and became still,
9 tango, Yo Nzambe, otelemaka mpo na kosambisa mpe kobikisa banyokolami nyonso ya mokili.
When God rose to judgment, to save all the lowly of the earth. (Selah)
10 Pamba te kanda makasi ya bato esanzolaka Yo, mpe olataka kanda ya batikali.
For the fury of man shall praise thee: the remainder of the fury wilt thou gird about thee.
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 vows, and pay [them] unto the Lord your God, all ye that are round about him: let men bring presents unto him that exciteth fear.
12 Abukaka lolendo ya bakambi, mpe bakonzi ya mokili babangaka Ye.
He will cut down the spirit of the powerful: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
