< 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 OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF ASAPH. A SONG. God [is] known in Judah, His Name [is] great in Israel.
2 Ndako na Ye ya kapo ezali na Salemi; mpe esika na Ye ya kovanda ezali na Siona.
And His dwelling place is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion.
3 Ezali kuna nde abukaki makonga ya makasi, banguba, mipanga mpe bibundeli nyonso ya bitumba.
There He has shattered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword, and battle. (Selah)
4 Ozali kongenga lokola mwinda, otonda na lokumu koleka bangomba ya babotoli bomengo ya bitumba.
You [are] bright, majestic above hills of prey.
5 Bilombe nyonso ya mpiko bakweyisamaki, balalaki pongi na bango ya suka; basoda nyonso bakokaki lisusu te kotombola maboko.
The mighty of heart have spoiled themselves, They have slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their hands.
6 Nzambe ya Jakobi, na kanda na Yo, bato oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda elongo na bampunda bakweyi na somo.
From Your rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have been fast asleep.
7 Solo, ozali somo! Nani akokoka kotelema liboso na Yo soki osiliki?
You, fearful [are] You, And who stands before You, Since You have been angry?
8 Wuta na likolo, osalaka ete mokano na Yo eyokana na matoyi ya bato; mokili ekomaka na kobanga mpe evandaka kimia
You have sounded judgment from the heavens, Earth has feared, and has been still,
9 tango, Yo Nzambe, otelemaka mpo na kosambisa mpe kobikisa banyokolami nyonso ya mokili.
In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of earth. (Selah)
10 Pamba te kanda makasi ya bato esanzolaka Yo, mpe olataka kanda ya batikali.
For the fierceness of man praises You, You gird on the remnant of fierceness.
11 Epai ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, bopesa bilaka mpe bokokisa yango. Tika ete bato nyonso oyo bazingeli Ye bamemela Nzambe ya somo makabo!
Vow and complete to your God YHWH, All you surrounding Him, They bring presents to the Fearful One.
12 Abukaka lolendo ya bakambi, mpe bakonzi ya mokili babangaka Ye.
He gathers the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings of earth!
