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. O LORD, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

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

He who walks with integrity and practices righteousness, who speaks the truth from his heart,

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

who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

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;

who despises the vile but honors those who fear the LORD, who does not revise a costly oath,

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.

who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
