Banzembo 130

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

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up.” Out of the depths do I cry to thee, O LORD!

2 Nkolo, yoka ngai! Yoka mabondeli na ngai!

O Lord! listen to my voice, Let thine ears be attentive to my supplication!

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

If thou, LORD, shouldst treasure up transgressions, Lord, who could stand?

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

But with thee is forgiveness, That thou mayst be feared.

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

I trust in the LORD; my soul doth trust, And in his promise do I confide.

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 the LORD More than they who watch for the morning; Yea, more than they who watch for the morning!

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

O Israel! trust 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.

He will redeem Israel From all his iniquities.
