Banzembo 93

1 Yawe azali kokonza, alati lokumu monene; Yawe alati penza lokumu monene mpe amizingeli na nguya. Solo, mokili etelema ngwi, eninganaka te.

The Lord hath reigned, he is clothed with beauty: the Lord is clothed with strength, and hath girded himself. For he hath established the world which shall not be moved.

2 Kiti ya Bokonzi na Yo epikama wuta kala; seko na seko, ozali.

Thy throne is prepared from of old: thou art from everlasting.

3 Yawe, bibale egangaka! Bibale etombolaka lokito na yango; bibale etombolaka makelele na yango.

The floods have lifted up, O Lord: the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods have lifted up their waves,

4 Yawe azali monene makasi, na bisika ya likolo; aleki lokito ya mayi minene, mpe bambonge milayi ya ebale monene.

With the noise of many waters. Wonderful are the surges of the sea: wonderful is the Lord on high.

5 Yawe, malako na Yo ezali penza ya solo; bosantu elati Ndako na Yo mpo na libela.

Thy testimonies are become exceedingly credible: holiness becometh thy house, O Lord, unto length of days.
