Banzembo 130

1 Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Ndako ya Nkolo. Nkolo, nazali kobelela Yo wuta na mozindo ya pasi!

Out of the depths have I cried to you, O LORD.

2 Nkolo, yoka ngai! Yoka mabondeli na ngai!

Lord, hear my voice: let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

3 Yawe, soki obosanaka masumu te, Nkolo, nani akokaki kotelema?

If you, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

4 Kasi bolimbisi ezali epai na Yo, yango wana basengeli kotosa Yo.

But there is forgiveness with you, that you may be feared.

5 Na motema na ngai mobimba, nazali na elikya kati na Yawe, nazali penza na elikya; nazali kozela maloba na Ye.

I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait, and in his word do I hope.

6 Nazali na elikya kati na Nkolo koleka kutu ndenge mokengeli azelaka kotana ya tongo, koleka penza ndenge mokengeli azelaka kotana ya tongo.

My soul waits for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.

7 Isalaele, tia elikya kati na Yawe, pamba te azali bolingo, mpe kokangolama ya kokoka ezali elongo na Ye.

Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption.

8 Ye nde akokangola Isalaele na bambeba na yango nyonso.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
