Banzembo 130

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

The song of greces. Lord, Y criede to thee fro depthes; Lord, here thou mi vois.

2 Nkolo, yoka ngai! Yoka mabondeli na ngai!

Thin eeris be maad ententif; in to the vois of my biseching.

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

Lord, if thou kepist wickidnessis; Lord, who schal susteyne?

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

For merci is at thee; and, Lord, for thi lawe Y abood thee. Mi soule susteynede in his word; my soule hopide in the Lord.

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

Fro the morewtid keping til to niyt;

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

Israel hope in the Lord.

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

For whi merci is at the Lord; and plenteous redempcioun is at hym.

8 Ye nde akokangola Isalaele na bambeba na yango nyonso.

And he schal ayen bie Israel; fro alle the wickidnessis therof.
