Banzembo 8

1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Oh Yawe, Nkolo na biso, Kombo na Yo ezali monene kati na mokili mobimba! Ovandisi nkembo na Yo kati na Lola.

To the ouercomere, for pressours, the salm of Dauid. Lord, thou art oure Lord; thi name is ful wonderful in al erthe. For thi greet doyng is reisid, aboue heuenes.

2 Na nzela ya masanzoli ya bana mpe bana mike, otelemisi ndako batonga makasi, mpo na kotelemela bayini na Yo mpe kokanga monoko ya monguna mpe ya moto oyo alingaka kozongisa mabe na mabe.

Of the mouth of yonge children, not spekynge and soukynge mylk, thou madist perfitli heriyng, for thin enemyes; that thou destrie the enemy and avengere.

3 Tango natalaka Lola na Yo, mosala ya misapi na Yo, sanza mpe minzoto oyo otia,

For Y schal se thin heuenes, the werkis of thi fyngris; the moone and sterris, whiche thou hast foundid.

4 namitunaka: Moto azali nini mpo ete okanisa ye, mpe moto azali nani mpo ete obatela ye?

What is a man, that thou art myndeful of hym; ethir the sone of a virgyn, for thou visitist hym?

5 Osalaki ye moke koleka ba-anjelu mpe olatisaka ye motole ya nkembo mpe ya lokumu;

Thou hast maad hym a litil lesse than aungels; thou hast corouned hym with glorie and onour,

6 otia ye moyangeli ya misala ya maboko na Yo, otia nyonso na se ya matambe na ye:

and hast ordeyned hym aboue the werkis of thin hondis.

7 bameme, bantaba, bangombe mpe banyama ya zamba,

Thou hast maad suget alle thingis vndur hise feet; alle scheep and oxis, ferthermore and the beestis of the feeld;

8 bandeke ya likolo, mbisi ya ebale monene mpe nyonso oyo etambolaka na bibale.

the briddis of the eir, and the fischis of the see; that passen bi the pathis of the see.

9 Oh Yawe, Nkolo na biso, Kombo na Yo ezali monene kati na mokili mobimba!

Lord, `thou art oure Lord; thi name `is wondurful in al erthe.
