Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Soki Yawe abatelaki biso te; tika ete Isalaele aloba bongo!

2 If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

Soki Yawe abatelaki biso te tango bato babundisaki biso,

3 They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

mbele bamelaki biso ya bomoi tango basilikelaki biso makasi.

4 Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

Boye mayi elingaki kozindisa biso, mbonge makasi elingaki komema biso.

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

Mayi makasi elingaki kozindisa biso.

6 Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

Tika ete Yawe apambolama, Ye oyo andimaki te ete minu na bango epasola biso!

7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

Tobikaki lokola ndeke liboso ya motambo ya mokangi bandeke; motambo ekatanaki, mpe tokimaki.

8 Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.

Lisungi na biso ezali kati na Kombo na Yawe oyo akela likolo mpe mabele.
