Banzembo 20

1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Tika ete Yawe ayanola yo na tango ya pasi; tika ete Nzambe ya Jakobi azala ndako batonga makasi mpo na kobatela yo.

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

2 Tika ete asunga yo wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule mpe apesa yo makasi wuta na Siona.

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

3 Tika ete akanisa makabo na yo nyonso mpe andima mbeka na yo ya kotumba.

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

4 Tika ete akokisa posa ya motema na yo mpe mabongisi na yo nyonso.

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

5 Tokoganga na esengo mpo na lobiko na Yo mpe tokotombola bendele na Kombo ya Nzambe na biso. Tika ete Yawe akokisa bisengeli na Yo nyonso.

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

6 Nayebi sik’oyo ete Yawe abikisaka mopakolami na Ye, ayanolaka ye wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule kati na Lola, na nzela ya nguya ya loboko na Ye ya mobali.

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

7 Bamoko batiaka elikya na bango kati na bashar, bamosusu, kati na bampunda; kasi biso totiaka elikya na biso kati na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

8 Bango, bafukamaka mpe bakweyaka; kasi biso, tozalaka kaka ya kotelema mpe totikalaka ngwi.

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

9 Yawe, bikisa mokonzi! Yanola biso tango tozali kobelela.

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
