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 reigneth, and is clothed with maiestie: the Lord is clothed, and girded with power: the world also shall be established, that it cannot be mooued.

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

Thy throne is established of olde: thou art from euerlasting.

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

The floodes haue lifted vp, O Lord: the floodes haue lifted vp their voyce: the floods lift vp their waues.

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

The waues of ye sea are marueilous through the noyse of many waters, yet the Lord on High is more mightie.

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

Thy testimonies are very sure: holinesse becommeth thine House, O Lord, for euer.
