Banzembo 95
1 Boya, toganga na esengo mpo na Yawe! Tobetela Libanga na biso maboko, pamba te azali Mobikisi na biso!
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Tokende liboso na Ye elongo na mabondeli ya kozongisa matondi, tobetela Ye maboko elongo na banzembo.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 Pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe Monene, azali Mokonzi Monene, na likolo ya banzambe nyonso.
For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 Asimbi mozindo ya mokili kati na loboko na Ye; mpe basonge ya bangomba ezali ya Ye.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 Ebale monene ezali ya Ye, azali Mokeli na yango; mabele ya kokawuka ezali mpe ya Ye, asala yango na maboko na Ye.
The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Boya, togumbama mpe tofukama, tobuka mabolongo na biso liboso ya Yawe, Mokeli na biso!
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7 Pamba te azali Nzambe na biso; tozali bato oyo aleisaka, etonga oyo abatelaka. Lelo, soki boyoki mongongo na Ye,
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if all of you will hear his voice,
8 « boyeisa mitema na bino mabanga te, ndenge bosalaki na Meriba; ndenge bosalaki na mokolo wana ya Masa kati na esobe
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 epai wapi batata na bino batombokelaki ngai mpe bamekaki ngai atako bamonaki ngai kosala.
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Mibu tuku minei, nayinaki bato ya ekeke wana mpe nalobaki: ‹ Bazali bato oyo mitema na bango ebeba, bayebaka banzela na ngai te. ›
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Yango wana, kati na kanda na ngai, nakati seleka: ‹ Bakotikala kokota te kati na bopemi na ngai! › »
Unto whom I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
