Banzembo 95
1 Boya, toganga na esengo mpo na Yawe! Tobetela Libanga na biso maboko, pamba te azali Mobikisi na biso!
Come, we sing to YHWH, We shout to the rock of our salvation.
2 Tokende liboso na Ye elongo na mabondeli ya kozongisa matondi, tobetela Ye maboko elongo na banzembo.
We come before His face with thanksgiving, We shout to Him with psalms.
3 Pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe Monene, azali Mokonzi Monene, na likolo ya banzambe nyonso.
For YHWH [is] a great God, And a great King over all gods.
4 Asimbi mozindo ya mokili kati na loboko na Ye; mpe basonge ya bangomba ezali ya Ye.
In whose hand [are] the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills [are] His.
5 Ebale monene ezali ya Ye, azali Mokeli na yango; mabele ya kokawuka ezali mpe ya Ye, asala yango na maboko na Ye.
Whose is the sea, 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!
Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before YHWH 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 the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, Today, if you listen to His voice,
8 « boyeisa mitema na bino mabanga te, ndenge bosalaki na Meriba; ndenge bosalaki na mokolo wana ya Masa kati na esobe
Do not harden your heart as [in] Meribah, As [in] the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9 epai wapi batata na bino batombokelaki ngai mpe bamekaki ngai atako bamonaki ngai kosala.
Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, indeed, have seen 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 I am weary of the generation, And I say, “A people erring in heart—they! 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! › »
Where I swore in My anger, “If they come into My rest—!”
