Banzembo 95
1 Boya, toganga na esengo mpo na Yawe! Tobetela Libanga na biso maboko, pamba te azali Mobikisi na biso!
Oh come, let us sing to Yahweh; let us sing joyfully 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 enter his presence with thanksgiving; let us sing to him with psalms of praise.
3 Pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe Monene, azali Mokonzi Monene, na likolo ya banzambe nyonso.
For Yahweh is a great God and a great King superior to all gods.
4 Asimbi mozindo ya mokili kati na loboko na Ye; mpe basonge ya bangomba ezali ya Ye.
In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains 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.
The sea is his, for 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!
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Yahweh, our Creator:
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. Today—oh, that you would hear 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 at Meribah, or as on the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9 epai wapi batata na bino batombokelaki ngai mpe bamekaki ngai atako bamonaki ngai kosala.
where your forefathers tested me and tried me, though they had seen my deeds.
10 Mibu tuku minei, nayinaki bato ya ekeke wana mpe nalobaki: ‹ Bazali bato oyo mitema na bango ebeba, bayebaka banzela na ngai te. ›
For forty years I was angry with that generation and said, 'This is a people whose hearts wander astray; they have not known my ways.'
11 Yango wana, kati na kanda na ngai, nakati seleka: ‹ Bakotikala kokota te kati na bopemi na ngai! › »
Therefore I vowed in my anger that they would never enter into my resting place.”
