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. Yahweh, who may stay in your tabernacle? Who may live on your holy hill?

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

Whoever walks blamelessly, does what is right and speaks truth from his heart.

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

He does not slander with his tongue, he does not harm others, and he does not insult 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;

The worthless person is despised in his eyes, but he honors those who fear Yahweh. He swears to his own disadvantage and does not take back his promises.

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 does not charge interest when he lends money. He does not take bribes to testify against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
