Banzembo 68
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Loyembo. Soki Nzambe atelemi, banguna na Ye bapalanganaka, mpe bayini na Ye bakimaka mosika na Ye.
Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 Liboso ya Nzambe, bato mabe bakufaka, ndenge milinga elimwaka, mpe mafuta enyangwamaka na moto.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Liboso ya Nzambe, bato ya sembo basepelaka, batondaka na esengo.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Boyembela Nzambe, boyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye. Bofungola nzela mpo na Ye oyo atambolisaka mampinga na Ye kati na esobe. Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe. Botonda na esengo liboso na Ye.
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rides upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
5 Kati na Ndako na Ye ya bule, Nzambe azali Tata ya bana bitike, mpe molobeli ya basi bakufisa mibali.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
6 Nzambe apesaka libota epai ya bato oyo bavandaka bango moko, abimisaka bakangami wuta na minyololo; kasi batomboki batikalaka na mabele ekawuka.
God sets the solitary in families: he brings out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 Oh Nzambe, tango obimaki liboso ya bato na Yo, tango otambolaki na esobe,
O God, when you went forth before your people, when you did march through the wilderness; (Selah)
8 mabele eninganaki, likolo mpe esopaki mayi liboso ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya Sinai; liboso ya Nzambe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
The earth shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of God: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.
9 Nzambe, osopaki mvula ya mapamboli, olendisaki libula na Yo mpo ete elembaki.
You, O God, did send a plentiful rain, whereby you did confirm your inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Oh Nzambe, bato na Yo bavandaka na mokili oyo obongisaki, na boboto na Yo, mpo na mobola.
Your congregation has dwelt therein: you, O God, have prepared of your goodness for the poor.
11 Na liloba moko kowuta na Nkolo, basi oyo bamemaka sango basangani bato ebele,
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
12 bakonzi ya mampinga bakimi, bapoti mbangu, mpe mwasi oyo atikali na ndako akaboli bomengo ya bitumba.
Kings of armies did flee swiftly: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Boni, bokokoba kolala pongi kati na bandako na bino? Mapapu ya ebenga ezipami na se ya palata, mpe bansala na yango ezipami na se ya wolo.
Though all of you have lien among the pots, yet shall all of you be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 Tango Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso abenganaki kuna bakonzi, anokisaki mvula ya pembe na ngomba Tsalimoni.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 Ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya Nzambe; ngomba ya Bashani, ngomba ya basonge ebele,
The hill of God is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 mpo na nini ozali kosala zuwa, ngomba ya basonge ebele, ngomba oyo Nzambe asepelaka kovanda? Nzokande Yawe akovanda kuna libela na libela.
Why leap all of you, all of you high hills? this is the hill which God desires to dwell in; yea, the LORD will dwell in it for ever.
17 Motango ya bashar ya Nzambe ezali ebele, koleka minkoko; Nkolo azali kati na yango, kuna na Sinai, kati na Esika ya bule.
The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Yawe Nzambe, tango omataki na likolo, omemaki bakangami, ozwaki makabo epai ya bato, ata epai ya batomboki, mpo ete okoma kovanda kuna.
You have ascended on high, you have led captivity captive: you have received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them.
19 Tika ete Nkolo akumisama, mokolo na mokolo! Nzambe Mobikisi na biso alataka makambo na biso.
Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. (Selah)
20 Mpo na biso, Nzambe yango azali Nzambe oyo abikisaka; mpe bikuke ya kufa ezali ya Nkolo Yawe.
He that is our God is the God of salvation; and unto GOD the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 Solo, Nzambe apanzaka mito ya banguna na Ye, oyo batambolaka kati na bomoi ya masumu, oyo mito na bango etonda na suki.
But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his trespasses.
22 Nkolo alobi: « Wuta na Bashani, nakomema bango; wuta na mozindo ya ebale monene, nakomema bango,
The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea:
23 mpo ete opanza lokolo na yo kati na makila, mpe mpo ete lolemo ya bambwa na yo ezwa eteni na yango. »
That your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies, and the tongue of your dogs in the same.
24 Oh Nzambe, bazali komona ndenge ozali koya; koya ya Nzambe na ngai, ya Mokonzi na ngai, kati na Esika ya bule.
They have seen your activities, O God; even the activities of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 Bayembi bazali liboso; sima na bango, bato oyo bazali kobeta mandanda ya basinga kati na bilenge basi oyo bazali kobeta bambonda ya mike.
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Bopambola Nzambe kati na mayangani, bopambola Yawe wuta na etima ya Isalaele.
Bless all of you God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel.
27 Kuna, Benjame, leki ya suka, azali kotambolisa bakambi ya Yuda elongo na mampinga na bango, bakambi ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali.
There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Nzambe na yo apesi mitindo epai ya makasi na yo; zala makasi. Nzambe, osaleli biso penza makambo.
Your God has commanded your strength: strengthen, O God, that which you have wrought for us.
29 Wuta na Tempelo na Yo ya Yelusalemi epai wapi bakonzi bamemelaka Yo makabo,
Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto you.
30 bengana ngando oyo ebombami kati na matiti, lisanga ya bangombe ya mibali elongo na bana ngombe ya bikolo oyo batambolaka kati na mbongo ya bibende ya palata, mpe panza bikolo oyo basepelaka na bitumba.
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter you the people that delight in war.
31 Bazwi bakobimela na Ejipito; bato ya Kushi bakoya na lombangu, bakotombola maboko epai ya Nzambe.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God.
32 Bino, babokonzi ya mabele, boyembela Nzambe; boyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu ya Nkolo!
Sing unto God, all of you kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; (Selah)
33 Boyembela Ye oyo atambolisaka mampinga kati na likolo, likolo ya libela; oyo, wuta na mongongo na Ye, agangaka makasi.
To him that rides upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he does send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
34 Bosakola ete nguya ezali ya Nzambe oyo nkembo na Ye ezali na Isalaele, mpe nguya na Ye ezali kati na mapata.
Ascribe all of you strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds.
35 Nzambe, wuta kati na bisika na Yo ya bule, obongi na botosi! Nzambe ya Isalaele apesaka na bato na Ye makasi mpe nguya. Tika ete Nzambe akumisama!
O God, you are terrible out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
