Banzembo 98

1 Nzembo. Boyembela Yawe nzembo ya sika, pamba te asalaka makambo ya kokamwa! Na nguya mpe na bokonzi na Ye ya bonzambe, alongaki.

“A psalm.” Oh sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done wonderful things: his right hand and his holy arm have gotten him the victory.

2 Yawe atalisaki elonga na Ye, amonisaki bosembo na Ye epai ya bikolo.

The Lord hath made known his salvation: before the eyes of the nations hath he revealed his righteousness.

3 Akanisaki bolingo mpe bosembo na Ye mpo na libota ya Isalaele. Kino na suka ya mokili, elonga ya Nzambe na biso emonanaki.

He hath remembered his kindness and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Mokili mobimba, bobetela Yawe maboko, boyemba banzembo ya esengo mpe bobeta mindule!

Shout joyfully unto the Lord, all the lands: break forth, and rejoice, and sing praises.

5 Bobetela Yawe lindanda, boyembela Ye banzembo na lokito ya nzenze!

Sing praises unto the Lord with the harp, —with the harp, and the voice of psalmody.

6 Bobeta maboko liboso ya Yawe, Mokonzi, na lokito ya bakelelo mpe ya maseke.

With trumpets and the sound of cornet shout joyfully before the King, the Lord.

7 Tika ete ebale monene elongo na nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, mokili mpe bavandi na yango, bapesa lokito!

Let the sea roar, with all that filleth it; the world, with those that dwell therein.

8 Tika ete bibale ebeta maboko mpe bangomba nyonso eganga na esengo

Let the rivers clap their hands; let the mountains be joyful together,

9 liboso ya Yawe, pamba te azali koya kosambisa mabele! Akokata makambo na yango na bosembo.

Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people with equity.
