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. With Stringed Instruments. A Melody of Asaph, a Song. God is, known in Judah, In Israel, great is his Name;
2 Ndako na Ye ya kapo ezali na Salemi; mpe esika na Ye ya kovanda ezali na Siona.
Now hath come into Salem, his pavilion, And his dwelling-place into Zion.
3 Ezali kuna nde abukaki makonga ya makasi, banguba, mipanga mpe bibundeli nyonso ya bitumba.
There, hath he broken in pieces the 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.
Enveloped in light, thou, art more majestic than the mountains of prey.
5 Bilombe nyonso ya mpiko bakweyisamaki, balalaki pongi na bango ya suka; basoda nyonso bakokaki lisusu te kotombola maboko.
The valiant of heart have become a spoil, They have slumbered their sleep, And none of the men of might have found their hands.
6 Nzambe ya Jakobi, na kanda na Yo, bato oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda elongo na bampunda bakweyi na somo.
At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Stunned are the horsemen.
7 Solo, ozali somo! Nani akokoka kotelema liboso na Yo soki osiliki?
As for thee, to be feared thou art! Who then shall stand before thee, because of the power of thine anger?
8 Wuta na likolo, osalaka ete mokano na Yo eyokana na matoyi ya bato; mokili ekomaka na kobanga mpe evandaka kimia
Out of the heavens, didst thou cause judgment to be heard, Earth, feared and was still:
9 tango, Yo Nzambe, otelemaka mpo na kosambisa mpe kobikisa banyokolami nyonso ya mokili.
When God rose up to judgment, To save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
10 Pamba te kanda makasi ya bato esanzolaka Yo, mpe olataka kanda ya batikali.
For the multitude of mankind shall give thanks unto thee, The remainder of the multitude, shall keep holy festival unto 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!
Vow and pay, unto Yahweh your God, —Let, all who are round about him, bear along a gift unto him who is to be revered.
12 Abukaka lolendo ya bakambi, mpe bakonzi ya mokili babangaka Ye.
He cutteth off the spirit of nobles, he is of reverend majesty to the kings of the earth.
