Psalms 43

1 to judge me God and to contend [emph?] strife my from nation not pious from man deceit and injustice to escape me

Oh Nzambe, longisa ngai mpe lobela ngai liboso ya ekolo oyo etosaka makambo na Yo te; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bakosi mpe ya bato mabe.

2 for you(m. s.) God security my to/for what? to reject me to/for what? be dark to go: went in/on/with oppression enemy

Nzambe, Yo nde ozali ndako na ngai, oyo batonga makasi; mpo na nini osundoli ngai? Mpo na nini nasengeli kotambola na pasi boye, na se ya minyoko ya monguna?

3 to send: depart light your and truth: true your they(masc.) to lead me to come (in): bring me to(wards) mountain: mount holiness your and to(wards) tabernacle your

Tinda mwinda mpe solo na Yo mpo ete ekamba mpe emema ngai na ngomba na Yo ya bule epai wapi ovandaka;

4 and to come (in): come to(wards) altar God to(wards) God joy rejoicing my and to give thanks you in/on/with lyre God God my

bongo nakokende na etumbelo epai ya Nzambe, esengo mpe bomengo na ngai. Oh Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo na lindanda.

5 what? to bow soul my and what? to roar upon me to wait: hope to/for God for still to give thanks him salvation face of my and God my

Oh molimo na ngai, mpo na nini olembi boye? Mpo na nini ozali komitungisa kati na ngai? Tia elikya na yo kati na Nzambe, pamba te nakosanzola Ye lisusu, Mobikisi mpe Nzambe na ngai.
