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, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, with which he hath girded himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

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

Thy throne is established 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 lift their waves.

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

The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

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

Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O LORD, for ever.
