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 Psalme of Dauid. Lord, who shall dwell in thy Tabernacle? who shall rest in thine holy Mountaine?

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

He that walketh vprightly and worketh righteousnes, and speaketh the trueth 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 euill to his neighbour, nor receiueth a false report against his neighbour.

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 vile person is contemned, but he honoureth them that feare the Lord: he that sweareth to his owne hinderance 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 giueth not his money vnto vsurie, nor taketh reward against the innocent: hee that doeth these things, shall neuer be moued.
