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. Who may enter your sanctuary, Lord? Who may come into your presence 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;

Those who live without fault and do what is right, those who sincerely tell the truth.

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

They do not slander, do not treat their neighbors badly, do not gossip about people they know.

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;

They reject people the Lord has rejected, but honor those who follow the Lord. They keep their promises even when it's hard to do. They don't change their minds.

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.

They lend money without charging interest. They don't take bribes to testify against the innocent. Those who act like this will never ever fall.
