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 unto thee, O YHWH.

2 Nkolo, yoka ngai! Yoka mabondeli na ngai!

YHWH, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If thou, YAH, shouldest mark iniquities, O YHWH, who shall stand?

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

But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest 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 YHWH, my soul doth 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 waiteth for YHWH 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 YHWH: for with YHWH 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.
