Banzembo 131

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe. Yawe, motema na ngai ezali na lofundu te, miso na ngai ezali na posa makasi te; namipesaka te na makambo oyo eleki ya minene mpe eleki pasi mpo na ngai.

[the] song of The ascents of David O Yahweh - not it has been lofty heart my and not they have been uplifted eyes my and not I have walked - in [things too] great and in [things too] difficult for me.

2 Kasi nabatelaki kimia kati na motema na ngai mpe namitungisaki te lokola mwana moke elongo na mama na ye. Nazali na kimia lokola mwana oyo mama alongola na mabele.

If not I have made still - and I have made quiet self my like a weaned [child] on mother his [is] like the weaned [child] on me soul my.

3 Isalaele, tia elikya kati na Yawe kobanda sik’oyo mpe libela na libela.

Hope O Israel to Yahweh from now and until perpetuity.
