Banzembo 130

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

A Song of Degrees. Out of the depths have I cried to you, O Lord.

2 Nkolo, yoka ngai! Yoka mabondeli na ngai!

O Lord, listen to my voice; let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

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

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

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

For with you is forgiveness: for your name's sake

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

have I waited for you, O Lord, my soul has waited for your word.

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 has hoped in the Lord; from the morning watch till night.

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 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.
