Banzembo 99

1 Yawe azali kokonza; tika ete bato balenga! Avandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi kati na basheribe; tika ete mabele eningana!

The Lord reigneth, let the people tremble: he sitteth betweene the Cherubims, let the earth be moued.

2 Yawe azali monene kati na Siona, mpe Bokonzi na Ye ezali likolo ya bikolo nyonso.

The Lord is great in Zion, and he is high aboue all the people.

3 Tika ete Kombo na Yo ya monene mpe ya somo esanzolama; ezali bule!

They shall prayse thy great and fearefull Name (for it is holy)

4 Mokonzi azali na nguya, alingaka bosolo. Olendisaka bosembo. Osalaki bosembo mpe bosolo kati na Jakobi.

And the Kings power, that loueth iudgement: for thou hast prepared equitie: thou hast executed iudgement and iustice in Iaakob.

5 Bonetola Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe bogumbama liboso ya enyatelo makolo na Ye; azali Mosantu.

Exalt the Lord our God, and fall downe before his footestoole: for he is holy.

6 Moyize mpe Aron kati na Banganga-Nzambe na Ye, mpe Samuele kati na bato oyo bazalaki kobelela Kombo na Ye, bazalaki kobelela Yawe, mpe Ye azalaki koyanola bango.

Moses and Aaron were among his Priests, and Samuel among such as call vpon his Name: these called vpon the Lord, and he heard them.

7 Azalaki koloba na bango kati na likonzi ya lipata. Babatelaki malako na Ye mpe mibeko oyo apesaki bango.

Hee spake vnto them in the cloudie pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the Lawe that he gaue them.

8 Yawe, Nzambe na biso, oyanolaki bango. Mpo na bango, ozalaki Nzambe oyo alimbisaka atako opesaki bango etumbu mpo na misala na bango ya mabe.

Thou heardest them, O Lord our God: thou wast a fauourable God vnto them, though thou didst take vengeance for their inuentions.

9 Bonetola Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe bogumbama na kotala na ngambo ya ngomba na Ye ya bule. Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, azali bule.

Exalt the Lord our God, and fall downe before his holy Mountaine: for the Lord our God is holy.
