Banzembo 50

1 Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe ya banzambe, Yawe alobi, abengi mokili wuta na epai moyi ebimaka kino na epai elalaka.

A Psalme of Asaph. The God of Gods, euen the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from the rising vp of the sunne vnto the going downe thereof.

2 Wuta na Siona, mboka kitoko, Nzambe azali kongenga lokola moyi.

Out of Zion, which is the perfection of beautie, hath God shined.

3 Tika ete Nzambe na biso aya! Tika ete akanga monoko te! Liboso na Ye, moto makasi ezali kozikisa; mpe zingazinga na Ye, mopepe makasi ezali kopepa.

Our God shall come and shall not keepe silence: a fire shall deuoure before him, and a mightie tempest shall be mooued round about him.

4 Abengi Likolo, kuna na likolo, mpe mabele mpo na kokata makambo ya bato na Ye.

Hee shall call the heauen aboue, and the earth to iudge his people.

5 Alobi: « Bosangisela ngai bayengebene na ngai, ba-oyo basalaki Boyokani elongo na ngai na nzela ya mbeka. »

Gather my Saints together vnto me, those that make a couenant with me with sacrifice.

6 Likolo ekopanza sango ya bosembo na Ye, pamba te azali Nzambe ya bosembo.

And the heauens shall declare his righteousnes: for God is iudge himselfe. (Selah)

7 Bino bato na ngai, boyoka; nazali koloba na bino! Isalaele, nakoloba mpo na kotelemela yo: « Ngai Nzambe, nazali Nzambe na yo. »

Heare, O my people, and I wil speake: heare, O Israel, and I wil testifie vnto thee: for I am God, euen thy God.

8 Nakopamela yo te na tina na bambeka na yo, pamba te bambeka na yo ya kotumba ezalaka tango nyonso liboso na ngai.

I wil not reproue thee for thy sacrifices, or thy burnt offerings, that haue not bene continually before me.

9 Nakozwa ngombe te kati na ndako na yo to ntaba mobali kati na etonga na yo ya bibwele,

I will take no bullocke out of thine house, nor goates out of thy foldes.

10 pamba te banyama nyonso ya zamba ezali ya ngai; ezala ata ebele ya banyama oyo ezali kati na bangomba, nyonso ezali ya ngai.

For all the beastes of the forest are mine, and the beastes on a thousand mountaines.

11 Nayebi bandeke nyonso ya bangomba; mpe banyama ya bilanga ezali ya ngai.

I knowe all the foules on the mountaines: and the wilde beastes of the fielde are mine.

12 Soki nazalaki na nzala, nalingaki koyebisa yo te, pamba te mokili mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ezali ya ngai.

If I bee hungry, I will not tell thee: for the world is mine, and all that therein is.

13 Boni, okanisi penza ete ngai naliaka misuni ya bangombe to namelaka makila ya bantaba?

Will I eate the flesh of bulles? or drinke the blood of goates?

14 Bonzelaka Nzambe matondi lokola mbeka, mpe kokisaka bandayi na yo epai ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo.

Offer vnto God praise, and pay thy vowes vnto the most High,

15 Mpe belela ngai na tango ya pasi; nakokangola yo, mpe okopesa ngai nkembo.

And call vpon me in the day of trouble: so will I deliuer thee, and thou shalt glorifie me.

16 Nzambe alobi na moto mabe: « Mpo na nini opanzaka sango ya mibeko na ngai mpe olobaka na tina na Boyokani na ngai?

But vnto the wicked said God, What hast thou to doe to declare mine ordinances, that thou shouldest take my couenant in thy mouth,

17 Nzokande oyinaka malako na ngai mpe oyokaka te maloba na ngai?

Seeing thou hatest to bee reformed, and hast cast my wordes behinde thee?

18 Soki omoni moyibi, wana nde osepeli; mpe ovandaka esika moko na bato na bikobo.

For when thou seest a thiefe, thou runnest with him, and thou art partaker with the adulterers.

19 Otikaka monoko na yo kosala mabe, lolemo na yo ebimisaka kaka lokuta.

Thou giuest thy mouth to euill, and with thy tongue thou forgest deceit.

20 Ovandaka mpo na kotonga ndeko na yo, mpe obebisaka lokumu ya bana ya mama na yo.

Thou sittest, and speakest against thy brother, and slanderest thy mothers sonne.

21 Yango nde makambo oyo ozalaki kosala; mpe ngai nabatelaki kimia. Okanisi penza ete ngai nazali lokola yo? Nakopamela yo mpe nakotanda makambo nyonso oyo nazwa yo na miso na yo.

These things hast thou done, and I held my tongue: therefore thou thoughtest that I was like thee: but I will reproue thee, and set them in order before thee.

22 Bino bato oyo bozali kobosana Nzambe, nabondeli bino: bososola makambo oyo; noki te nakobebisa bino, mpe moto moko te akokangola bino.

Oh cosider this, ye that forget God, least I teare you in pieces, and there be none that can deliuer you.

23 Moto oyo abonzaka matondi lokola mbeka, apesaka ngai lokumu; mpe moto oyo asalaka keba na etamboli na ye, nakotalisa ye lobiko ya Nzambe. »

He that offereth praise, shall glorifie mee: and to him, that disposeth his way aright, will I shew the saluation of God.
