< Banzembo 96 >
1 Boyembela Yawe nzembo ya sika! Bino nyonso, bato ya mokili mobimba, boyembela Yawe!
When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Boyembela Yawe, bopambola Kombo na Ye! Bopanza sango ya lobiko na Ye, mokolo na mokolo!
Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.
3 Bopanza sango ya nkembo na Ye kati na mabota! Boyebisa bato misala na Ye ya kokamwa kati na bikolo nyonso.
Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people.
4 Pamba te Yawe azali monene mpe abongi na lokumu, azali somo makasi mpe aleki banzambe nyonso.
For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.
5 Banzambe nyonso ya bikolo ezali bikeko ya pamba, nzokande Yawe akela likolo.
For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Kongenga mpe nkembo monene ezali liboso na Ye, nguya mpe nkembo ezali kati na Esika na Ye ya bule.
Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.
7 Bino bituka ya mabota, bosanzola Yawe; bosanzola Yawe na kopanza sango ya nkembo mpe nguya na Ye!
Bring to the Lord, you families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honor.
8 Bosanzola Yawe mpe bopesa Kombo na Ye nkembo! Bomema makabo na bino, bokota na lopango na Ye!
Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.
9 Bogumbama liboso ya Yawe oyo bosantu na Ye ezali kongenga makasi! Bino bavandi ya mokili mobimba, bolenga liboso na Ye!
Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.
10 Boloba kati na mabota: « Yawe azali Mokonzi! Mokili elendisama makasi, ekoningana te. Yawe asambisaka bato na bosembo. »
Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.
11 Tika ete likolo esepela, mpe mabele ezala kati na esengo! Tika ete ebale monene elongo na nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango epesa lokito!
Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.
12 Tika ete zamba mobimba elongo na nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango esepela, mpe tika ete banzete nyonso ya zamba eganga na esengo
The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:
13 liboso ya Yawe, pamba te azali koya! Solo, azali koya kosambisa mabele; akosambisa mokili na bosembo, mpe bikolo kolanda boyengebene na Ye.
for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
