Banzembo 76
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Ezali ya koyemba na lindanda. Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe ayebani kati na Yuda; Kombo na Ye ezali monene kati na Isalaele.
To the chief music-maker; put to Neginoth. A Psalm. Of Asaph. A Song. In Judah is the knowledge of God; his name is great in Israel,
2 Ndako na Ye ya kapo ezali na Salemi; mpe esika na Ye ya kovanda ezali na Siona.
In Salem is his tent, his resting-place in Zion.
3 Ezali kuna nde abukaki makonga ya makasi, banguba, mipanga mpe bibundeli nyonso ya bitumba.
There were the arrows of the bow broken, there he put an end to body-cover, sword, and fight. (Selah)
4 Ozali kongenga lokola mwinda, otonda na lokumu koleka bangomba ya babotoli bomengo ya bitumba.
You are shining and full of glory, more than the eternal mountains.
5 Bilombe nyonso ya mpiko bakweyisamaki, balalaki pongi na bango ya suka; basoda nyonso bakokaki lisusu te kotombola maboko.
Gone is the wealth of the strong, their last sleep has overcome them; the men of war have become feeble.
6 Nzambe ya Jakobi, na kanda na Yo, bato oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda elongo na bampunda bakweyi na somo.
At the voice of your wrath, O God of Jacob, deep sleep has overcome carriage and horse.
7 Solo, ozali somo! Nani akokoka kotelema liboso na Yo soki osiliki?
You, you are to be feared; who may keep his place before you in the time of your wrath?
8 Wuta na likolo, osalaka ete mokano na Yo eyokana na matoyi ya bato; mokili ekomaka na kobanga mpe evandaka kimia
From heaven you gave your decision; the earth, in its fear, gave no sound,
9 tango, Yo Nzambe, otelemaka mpo na kosambisa mpe kobikisa banyokolami nyonso ya mokili.
When God took his place as judge, for the salvation of the poor on the earth. (Selah)
10 Pamba te kanda makasi ya bato esanzolaka Yo, mpe olataka kanda ya batikali.
The ... will give you praise; the rest of ...
11 Epai ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, bopesa bilaka mpe bokokisa yango. Tika ete bato nyonso oyo bazingeli Ye bamemela Nzambe ya somo makabo!
Give to the Lord your God what is his by right; let all who are round him give offerings to him who is to be feared.
12 Abukaka lolendo ya bakambi, mpe bakonzi ya mokili babangaka Ye.
He puts an end to the wrath of rulers; he is feared by the kings of the earth.
