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.

To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Yahweh answer thee, in the day of distress, The Name of the God of Jacob give thee safety;

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

Send thy help out of the sanctuary, and, out of Zion, sustain thee;

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

Remember every present of thine, and, thine ascending-sacrifice, esteem. (Selah)

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

Give thee according to thy heart, and, all thy purposes, fulfil.

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 shout aloud in thy salvation, and, in the Name of our God, shall we become great, Yahweh fulfil all thy petitions.

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.

Now, do I know that Yahweh, hath saved, his Anointed One, —He answereth him out of his holy heavens, by the mighty saving deeds of his own right hand.

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.

These, by chariots, and, those, by horses, but, we, by the Name of Yahweh our God, will prevail.

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

They, have bowed down and fallen, but, we, have arisen, and stand upright.

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

Yahweh, hath saved the king. Answer us, then, on the day when we call.
