< Banzembo 96 >
1 Boyembela Yawe nzembo ya sika! Bino nyonso, bato ya mokili mobimba, boyembela Yawe!
Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;
2 Boyembela Yawe, bopambola Kombo na Ye! Bopanza sango ya lobiko na Ye, mokolo na mokolo!
Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, —Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:
3 Bopanza sango ya nkembo na Ye kati na mabota! Boyebisa bato misala na Ye ya kokamwa kati na bikolo nyonso.
Recount, Among the nations, his glory, Among all the peoples, his wonders.
4 Pamba te Yawe azali monene mpe abongi na lokumu, azali somo makasi mpe aleki banzambe nyonso.
For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he above all gods;
5 Banzambe nyonso ya bikolo ezali bikeko ya pamba, nzokande Yawe akela likolo.
For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought—But, Yahweh, made, the heavens.
6 Kongenga mpe nkembo monene ezali liboso na Ye, nguya mpe nkembo ezali kati na Esika na Ye ya bule.
Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and beauty, are in his sanctuary.
7 Bino bituka ya mabota, bosanzola Yawe; bosanzola Yawe na kopanza sango ya nkembo mpe nguya na Ye!
Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength;
8 Bosanzola Yawe mpe bopesa Kombo na Ye nkembo! Bomema makabo na bino, bokota na lopango na Ye!
Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bring a present, and enter his courts;
9 Bogumbama liboso ya Yawe oyo bosantu na Ye ezali kongenga makasi! Bino bavandi ya mokili mobimba, bolenga liboso na Ye!
Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness, Be in anguish at his presence, all the earth!
10 Boloba kati na mabota: « Yawe azali Mokonzi! Mokili elendisama makasi, ekoningana te. Yawe asambisaka bato na bosembo. »
Say among the nations, Yahweh, hath become King, Surely he hath fixed the world, it shall not be shaken, He will judge the peoples with equity.
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 roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 Tika ete zamba mobimba elongo na nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango esepela, mpe tika ete banzete nyonso ya zamba eganga na esengo
Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph,
13 liboso ya Yawe, pamba te azali koya! Solo, azali koya kosambisa mabele; akosambisa mokili na bosembo, mpe bikolo kolanda boyengebene na Ye.
Before Yahweh, for he is coming, For he is coming to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, in his faithfulness.
