Banzembo 143
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, landa mabondeli na ngai! Yanola ngai na boyengebene mpe na bosembo na Yo.
Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness.
2 Kosambisa mosali na Yo te, pamba te moto moko te ya bomoi azali sembo liboso na Yo.
And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.
3 Monguna azali konyokola ngai, azali kosakana na bomoi, azali kosala ete navanda kati na molili lokola bato oyo bakufa na tango ya kala.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has smitten my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Molimo na ngai elembi kati na ngai, motema na ngai emitungisi kati na ngai.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 Nakanisi mikolo ya kala, namilobeli nyonso oyo osala, nakanisi malamu mosala ya maboko na Yo.
I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your works; I muse on the work of your hands.
6 Nasemboli maboko na ngai epai na Yo; nakomi komimona lokola mabele ya kokawuka.
I stretch forth my hands to you: my soul thirsts after you, as a thirsty land. (Selah)
7 Yawe, zongisela ngai eyano noki! Molimo na ngai ezali kolemba. Kopesa ngai mokongo te, noki te nakozala lokola bato oyo bazali kokita na libulu.
Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit fails: hide not your face from me, lest I be like to them that go down into the pit.
8 Na tongo makasi, sala ete nayoka boboto na Yo, pamba te natia elikya na ngai kati na Yo. Lakisa ngai nzela ya kolanda, pamba te napesi bomoi na ngai epai na Yo.
Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning; for in you do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul to you.
9 Yawe, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai! Nazali koluka ebombamelo epai na Yo.
Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies: I flee to you to hide me.
10 Lakisa ngai kosala mokano na Yo, pamba te ozali Nzambe na ngai. Tika ete Molimo malamu na Yo atambolisa ngai na mabele oyo ezanga mabaku!
Teach me to do your will; for you are my God: your spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Yawe, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo, bikisa bomoi na ngai! Na bosembo na Yo, longola bomoi na ngai kati na pasi.
Quicken me, O LORD, for your name’s sake: for your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 Na bolingo na Yo, kanga minoko ya banguna na ngai mpe limwisa bayini na ngai nyonso, pamba te nazali mosali na Yo.
And of your mercy cut off my enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am your servant.
