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.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

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

send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

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

remember all your offerings, and accept your burned sacrifice. (Selah)

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

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

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 triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

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 I know that the LORD saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his 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.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.

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

They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

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

Save, LORD! Let the King answer us when we call!
