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 THE ASCENTS. I have called You from the depths, YHWH.

2 Nkolo, yoka ngai! Yoka mabondeli na ngai!

Lord, listen to my voice, Your ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If You observe iniquities, Lord YAH, who stands?

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

But forgiveness [is] 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 hoped [for] YHWH—my soul has hoped, And I have waited for His 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 [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

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

Israel waits on YHWH, For kindness [is] with YHWH, And redemption [is] abundant with Him.

8 Ye nde akokangola Isalaele na bambeba na yango nyonso.

And He redeems Israel from all his iniquities!
