Banzembo 109
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzambe, Yo oyo ngai nakumisaka, kovanda kimia te!
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Holde not thy tongue, O God of my praise.
2 Bato mabe bazali koloba lokuta mpo na kofunda ngai, bazali mpe kokosela ngai makambo.
For the mouth of the wicked, and the mouth full of deceite are opened vpon me: they haue spoken to me with a lying tongue.
3 Bazingeli ngai na maloba ya koyina mpe bazali kobundisa ngai kaka pamba.
They compassed me about also with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.
4 Bato oyo ngai nalingaka bafundi ngai, kasi ngai namipesi na ngai kaka na mabondeli.
For my friendship they were mine aduersaries, but I gaue my selfe to praier.
5 Bazali kozongisela ngai mabe na bolamu, mpe koyina na bolingo.
And they haue rewarded me euil for good, and hatred for my friendship.
6 Kaba ye na maboko ya moto mabe! Bimisela ye monguna, na ngambo ya loboko na ye ya mobali!
Set thou the wicked ouer him, and let the aduersarie stand at his right hand.
7 Tika ete bazwa ye lokola moto mabe na tango ya kosamba, mpe libondeli na ye etangama lokola masumu!
Whe he shalbe iudged, let him be condemned, and let his praier be turned into sinne.
8 Tika ete mikolo ya bomoi na ye ekoma moke, tika ete moto mosusu azwa mokumba na ye!
Let his daies be fewe, and let another take his charge.
9 Tika ete bana na ye bakoma bana bitike, mpe tika ete mwasi na ye akoma mwasi akufisa mobali!
Let his children be fatherlesse, and his wife a widowe.
10 Tika ete bana na ye batelengana mpe bakoma bisengasenga, tika ete bakende kosenga mosika ya ndako na bango oyo ebukana-bukana!
Let his children be vagabonds and beg and seeke bread, comming out of their places destroyed.
11 Tika ete moto oyo adefisaki ye mbongo akanga ye biloko nyonso, mpe tika ete bapaya babotola ye bambuma ya mosala na ye!
Let the extortioner catch al that he hath, and let the strangers spoile his labour.
12 Tika ete moko te atalisa ye bolingo, tika ete moko te ayokela bana bitike na ye mawa!
Let there be none to extend mercie vnto him: neither let there be any to shewe mercie vpon his fatherlesse children.
13 Tika ete bakitani na ye basila na kokufa, mpe bakombo na bango elongwa na ekeke oyo ezali kolanda!
Let his posteritie be destroied, and in the generation following let their name be put out.
14 Tika ete Yawe alandela masumu ya batata na ye mpe alimbisa te masumu ya mama na ye!
Let the iniquitie of his fathers bee had in remembrance with the Lord: and let not the sinne of his mother be done away.
15 Tika ete Yawe akanisaka masumu yango tango nyonso mpe asala ete babosana bango libela na mokili!
But let them alway be before the Lord, that he may cut off their memorial from ye earth.
16 Lokola atikalaki te kotambola na boboto, mpe lokola anyokolaki mobola mpe moto na mawa kino kobomisa moto oyo azoka na motema;
Because he remembred not to shew mercie, but persecuted the afflicted and poore man, and the sorowfull hearted to slay him.
17 lokola azalaki kolinga mingi kolakela bato mabe, tika ete bilakeli mabe ekweyela ye! Lokola azalaki kosepela te kopambola bato, tika ete mapamboli ezala mosika na ye!
As he loued cursing, so shall it come vnto him, and as he loued not blessing, so shall it be farre from him.
18 Tika ete alata elakeli mabe lokola kazaka, tika ete ekota kati na ye lokola mayi, mpe kati na mikuwa na ye lokola mafuta!
As he clothed himselfe with cursing like a rayment, so shall it come into his bowels like water, and like oyle into his bones.
19 Tika ete elakeli mabe yango elata ye lokola elamba oyo alati, mpe ekangama ye na loketo lokola mokaba mpo na tango nyonso!
Let it be vnto him as a garment to couer him, and for a girdle, wherewith he shalbe alway girded.
20 Tala ndenge Yawe akofuta banguna na ngai mpe bato oyo balobaka mabe na tina na ngai.
Let this be the rewarde of mine aduersarie from the Lord, and of them, that speake euill against my soule.
21 Kasi Yo Nkolo Yawe, salela ngai bolamu mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo, kangola ngai kolanda boboto ya bolingo na Yo.
But thou, O Lord my God, deale with me according vnto thy Name: deliuer me, (for thy mercie is good)
22 Solo, nazali mobola mpe moto na mawa, mpe motema na ngai ezali ya kozoka kati na ngai.
Because I am poore and needie, and mine heart is wounded within me.
23 Nazali kokende lokola elili oyo ezali kolimwa; bazali kobengana ngai lokola mabanki.
I depart like the shadowe that declineth, and am shaken off as the grashopper.
24 Mabolongo na ngai elembi mpo na kokila mingi bilei, nzoto na ngai mpe ebukani mpo ete nakondi makasi.
My knees are weake through fasting, and my flesh hath lost all fatnes.
25 Mpo na bango, nakomi eloko ya nkele; soki kaka bamoni ngai, baningisi mito.
I became also a rebuke vnto them: they that looked vpon me, shaked their heads.
26 Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, sunga ngai; bikisa ngai kolanda bolingo na Yo!
Helpe me, O Lord my God: saue me according to thy mercie.
27 Tika ete banguna na ngai bayeba ete Yo Yawe nde osalaki bongo.
And they shall know, that this is thine hand, and that thou, Lord, hast done it.
28 Ata balakeli ngai mabe, Yo okopambola ngai; soki mpe bameki kotelema mpo na kobundisa ngai, bakokufa soni. Nzokande ngai mosali na Yo, nakozala moto ya esengo.
Though they curse, yet thou wilt blesse: they shall arise and be confounded, but thy seruant shall reioyce.
29 Tika ete bayini na ngai bazanga lokumu mpe bamizipa na soni lokola kazaka.
Let mine aduersaries be clothed with shame, and let them couer themselues with their confusion, as with a cloke.
30 Nakosanzola Yawe na mongongo makasi, nakokumisa Ye kati na ebele ya bato.
I will giue thankes vnto the Lord greatly with my mouth and praise him among ye multitude.
31 Pamba te atelemaka na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya mobola mpo na kokangola ye wuta na maboko ya bato oyo bakatela ye etumbu.
For he will stand at the right hand of the poore, to saue him from them that woulde condemne his soule.
