Banzembo 95

1 Boya, toganga na esengo mpo na Yawe! Tobetela Libanga na biso maboko, pamba te azali Mobikisi na biso!

Come ye, make we ful out ioie to the Lord; hertli synge we to God, oure heelthe.

2 Tokende liboso na Ye elongo na mabondeli ya kozongisa matondi, tobetela Ye maboko elongo na banzembo.

Bifore ocupie we his face in knowleching; and hertli synge we to him in salmes.

3 Pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe Monene, azali Mokonzi Monene, na likolo ya banzambe nyonso.

For God is a greet Lord, and a greet king aboue alle goddis; for the Lord schal not putte awei his puple.

4 Asimbi mozindo ya mokili kati na loboko na Ye; mpe basonge ya bangomba ezali ya Ye.

For alle the endis of erthe ben in his hond; and the hiynesses of hillis ben hise.

5 Ebale monene ezali ya Ye, azali Mokeli na yango; mabele ya kokawuka ezali mpe ya Ye, asala yango na maboko na Ye.

For the see is his, and he made it; and hise hondis formeden the drie lond.

6 Boya, togumbama mpe tofukama, tobuka mabolongo na biso liboso ya Yawe, Mokeli na biso!

Come ye, herie we, and falle we doun bifore God, wepe we bifore the Lord that made vs;

7 Pamba te azali Nzambe na biso; tozali bato oyo aleisaka, etonga oyo abatelaka. Lelo, soki boyoki mongongo na Ye,

for he is oure Lord God. And we ben the puple of his lesewe; and the scheep of his hond.

8 « boyeisa mitema na bino mabanga te, ndenge bosalaki na Meriba; ndenge bosalaki na mokolo wana ya Masa kati na esobe

If ye han herd his vois to dai; nyle ye make hard youre hertis.

9 epai wapi batata na bino batombokelaki ngai mpe bamekaki ngai atako bamonaki ngai kosala.

As in the terryng to wraththe; bi the dai of temptacioun in desert. Where youre fadris temptiden me; thei preueden and sien my werkis.

10 Mibu tuku minei, nayinaki bato ya ekeke wana mpe nalobaki: ‹ Bazali bato oyo mitema na bango ebeba, bayebaka banzela na ngai te. ›

Fourti yeer I was offendid to this generacioun; and Y seide, Euere thei erren in herte.

11 Yango wana, kati na kanda na ngai, nakati seleka: ‹ Bakotikala kokota te kati na bopemi na ngai! › »

And these men knewen not my weies; to whiche Y swoor in myn ire, thei schulen not entre in to my reste.
