Ezayi 64
1 Oh soki okokaki kopasola likolo mpe kokita, bangomba ekoningana liboso na Yo!
If you would open the heaven, trembling will take hold upon the mountains from you, and they shall melt,
2 Ndenge moto etumbaka matiti mpe etokisaka mayi na nzungu, kita mpo na kosala ete banguna na Yo bayeba Kombo na Yo mpe bikolo eningana liboso na Yo!
as wax melts before the fire; and fire shall burn up the enemies, and your name shall be manifest among the adversaries: at your presence the nations shall be troubled,
3 Pamba te tango osalaki makambo ya somo oyo biso tozalaki kozela te, okitaki mpe bangomba eninganaki liboso na Yo.
whenever you shall work gloriously; trembling from you shall take hold upon the mountains.
4 Wuta na tango ya kala penza, moto moko te atikala kososola, litoyi moko te etikala koyoka, liso moko te etikala komona, ete nzambe moko, longola kaka Yo, asalaka boye mpo na bato oyo batalelaka ye.
From of old we have not heard, neither have our eyes seen a God beside you, and your works which you will perform to them that wait for mercy.
5 Osungaka bato oyo bazalaka na esengo ya kosala makambo ya sembo, ba-oyo babosanaka nzela na Yo te. Kasi osilikaki tango biso tosalaki masumu; bongo ndenge nini tokoki solo kobika?
For [these blessings] shall happen to them that work righteousness, and they shall remember your ways: behold, you were angry and we have sinned; therefore we have erred,
6 Biso nyonso, tokomi lokola eloko ya mbindo, misala na biso nyonso ya bosembo ezali lokola elamba ya mbindo; biso nyonso tokawuki lokola likasa mpe masumu na biso ememi biso lokola mopepe!
and we are all become as unclean, and all our righteousness as a filthy rag: and we have fallen as leaves because of our iniquities; thus the wind shall carry us [away].
7 Moko te azali kobelela Kombo na Yo to kolamusa makanisi mpo na kokangama na Yo, pamba te obombeli biso elongi na Yo mpe obebisi biso likolo ya masumu na biso.
And there is none that calls upon your name, or that remembers to take hold on you: for you have turned your face away from us, and have delivered us up because of our sins.
8 Nzokande oh Yawe, ozalaka Tata na biso; biso tozali lokola mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, bongo Yo, ozali lokola mosali mbeki; biso nyonso tozali mosala ya maboko na Yo.
And now, O Lord, you are our Father, and we are clay, all [of us] the work of your hands.
9 Oh Yawe, tika ete kanda na Yo eleka ndelo te; kokanisaka masumu na biso tango nyonso te! Tala biso ndenge tozali kobondela, pamba te biso nyonso tozali bato na Yo.
Be not very angry with us, and remember not our sins for ever; but now look on [us], for we are all your people.
10 Bingumba na Yo ya bule ekomi esobe; ezala Siona, yango mpe ekomi esobe; Yelusalemi etikali lisusu na bato te!
The city of your holiness has become desolate, Sion has become as a wilderness, Jerusalem a curse.
11 Tempelo na biso ya bule mpe ya lokumu epai wapi batata na biso bazalaki koyemba masanzoli mpo na lokumu na Yo, esili kozika na moto; mpe nyonso oyo tozalaki na yango ya motuya esili kobebisama!
The house, our sanctuary, and the glory which our fathers blessed, has been burnt with fire: and all our glorious things have gone to ruin.
12 Oh Yawe, sima na makambo oyo nyonso, okozongisa kaka motema na Yo sima te? Okokanga kaka monoko mpe okopesa biso kaka etumbu oyo eleki ndelo?
And for all these things you, O Lord, has withholden, yourself, and been silent, and have brought us very low.
