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 chief musician, on stringed instruments. A psalm of Asaph, a song. God has made himself 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.
His tent is in Salem; his dwelling place is in Zion.
3 Ezali kuna nde abukaki makonga ya makasi, banguba, mipanga mpe bibundeli nyonso ya bitumba.
There he broke the arrows of the bow, the shield, the sword, and the other weapons of war. (Selah)
4 Ozali kongenga lokola mwinda, otonda na lokumu koleka bangomba ya babotoli bomengo ya bitumba.
You shine brightly and reveal your glory, as you descend from the mountains, where you killed your victims.
5 Bilombe nyonso ya mpiko bakweyisamaki, balalaki pongi na bango ya suka; basoda nyonso bakokaki lisusu te kotombola maboko.
The bravehearted were plundered; they fell asleep. All the warriors were helpless.
6 Nzambe ya Jakobi, na kanda na Yo, bato oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda elongo na bampunda bakweyi na somo.
At your rebuke, God of Jacob, both rider and horse fell asleep.
7 Solo, ozali somo! Nani akokoka kotelema liboso na Yo soki osiliki?
You, yes you, are to be feared; who can stand in your sight 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 made your judgment heard; the earth was afraid and silent
9 tango, Yo Nzambe, otelemaka mpo na kosambisa mpe kobikisa banyokolami nyonso ya mokili.
when you, God, arose to execute judgment and to save all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
10 Pamba te kanda makasi ya bato esanzolaka Yo, mpe olataka kanda ya batikali.
Surely your angry judgment against humanity will bring you praise; you gird yourself with what is left of your anger.
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 to Yahweh your God and keep them. May all who surround him bring gifts to him who is to be feared.
12 Abukaka lolendo ya bakambi, mpe bakonzi ya mokili babangaka Ye.
He cuts off the spirit of the princes; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
