Banzembo 15

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, nani akoki kovanda kati na Ndako na Yo ya bule? Nani akoki kowumela na ngomba na Yo ya bule?

A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

2 Ezali moto oyo azangi pamela, oyo asalaka makambo ya sembo mpe alobaka solo ndenge ezali kati na motema na ye;

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, And speaketh truth in his heart;

3 oyo akoselaka moninga makambo te, asalaka ye mabe te, mpe ayokisaka ye pasi te;

He that slandereth not with his tongue, Nor doeth evil to his friend, Nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbor;

4 asanganaka te na moto oyo asalaka mabe, kasi apesaka lokumu na moto oyo atosaka Yawe; akokisaka ndayi na ye atako ekopesa ye pasi, mpe abongolaka mokano na ye te;

In whose eyes a reprobate is despised, But who honoreth them that fear Jehovah; He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not;

5 asengaka mileki te soki adefisi mbongo, andimaka kanyaka te mpo na kokweyisa moto oyo asali mabe te. Moto nyonso oyo atambolaka bongo akotikala kopengwa te.

He that putteth not out his money to interest, Nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.
