Banzembo 22
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi, ya koyemba lokola nzembo na kombo « Mboloko ya tongo. » Nzambe na ngai, Nzambe na ngai, mpo na nini osundoli ngai? Mpo na nini otelemi mosika? Mpo na nini ozali kobikisa ngai te? Mpo na nini ozali koyoka te koganga na ngai?
Unto the end. For the tasks of early morning. A Psalm of David. O God, my God, look upon me. Why have you forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my offenses.
2 Nzambe na ngai, na moyi, nabeleli Yo, kasi oyanoli ngai te; na butu, nabeleli lisusu, mpe natikali kovanda nye te.
My God, I will cry out by day, and you will not heed, and by night, and it will not be foolishness for me.
3 Nzokande, ozali Mosantu, ovandaka na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi, kati na masanzoli ya Isalaele.
But you dwell in holiness, O Praise of Israel.
4 Batata na biso batiaki elikya na bango kati na Yo, bamipesaki epai na Yo, mpe okangolaki bango.
In you, our fathers have hoped. They hoped, and you freed them.
5 Bagangaki epai na Yo, mpe Yo okangolaki bango; batiaki elikya na bango kati na Yo mpe bayokisamaki soni te.
They cried out to you, and they were saved. In you, they hoped and were not confounded.
6 Nazali lisusu moto te, kasi mutsopi; bato nyonso bazali kofinga mpe kotiola ngai.
But I am a worm and not a man: a disgrace among men, and an outcast of the people.
7 Bato nyonso oyo bazali komona ngai bazali koseka ngai, bazali kokamwa, koningisa mito mpe koloba:
All those who saw me have derided me. They have spoken with the lips and shook the head.
8 « Atiaka motema na ye epai na Yawe; tika ete Yawe abikisa ye! Tika ete Yawe akangola ye, pamba te asepelaka na Ye! »
He has hoped in the Lord, let him rescue him. Let him save him because he chooses him.
9 Solo, Yawe, obimisaki ngai na libumu ya mama na ngai, obatelaki ngai na kimia na tolo na ye.
For you are the one who has drawn me out of the womb, my hope from the breasts of my mother.
10 Wuta mbotama na ngai, batikaki ngai na maboko na Yo; wuta libumu ya mama na ngai, ozali Nzambe na ngai.
I have been thrown upon you from the womb; from the womb of my mother, you are my God.
11 Kozala mosika na ngai te, pamba te pasi ekomi pene mpe nazangi moto oyo akosunga ngai.
Do not depart from me. For tribulation is near, since there is no one who may help me.
12 Banguna na ngai bazingeli ngai lokola lisanga ya bangombe ya mibali, bazingeli ngai lokola banyama mabe oyo ezalaka na Bashani;
Many calves have surrounded me; fat bulls have besieged me.
13 mpe bafungoleli ngai makasi minoko na bango lokola nkosi oyo etomboki mpe ezali kolia nyama.
They have opened their mouths over me, just like a lion seizing and roaring.
14 Nakomi lokola mayi oyo ezali kosopana, mpe mikuwa na ngai nyonso ekabwani; motema na ngai ekomi lokola mafuta oyo ezali konyangwama kati na ngai.
And so, I have been poured out like water, and all my bones have been scattered. My heart has become like wax, melting in the midst of my chest.
15 Makasi na ngai ekawuki lokola potopoto, mpe nazali kokoka lisusu koloba te; otie ngai pembeni ya lilita.
My strength has dried up like clay, and my tongue has adhered to my jaws. And you have pulled me down, into the dust of death.
16 Bambwa ezingeli ngai, ngulupa ya bato mabe bayei kobundisa ngai, bazali kotambola zingazinga na ngai; bakangi maboko mpe makolo na ngai na basinga.
For many dogs have surrounded me. The council of the malicious has besieged me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 Nakoki sik’oyo kotanga ata mikuwa na ngai nyonso; kasi bato bazali kotala mpe koseka ngai,
They have numbered all my bones. And they have examined me and stared at me.
18 bazali kokabola bilamba na ngai mpe kobeta zeke mpo na nzambala na ngai.
They divided my garments among them, and over my vestment, they cast lots.
19 Kasi Yo, Yawe, kozala mosika te! Ozali makasi na ngai; yaka noki kosunga ngai.
But you, O Lord, do not take your help far from me; be attentive to my defense.
20 Bikisa bomoi na ngai liboso ya mopanga, mpe kangola yango wuta na manzaka ya bambwa.
O God, rescue my soul from the spear, and my only one from the hand of the dog.
21 Bikisa ngai wuta na monoko ya nkosi mpe na maseke ya mpakasa.
Save me from the mouth of the lion, and my humility from the horns of the single-horned beast.
22 Nakotatola Kombo na Yo epai ya bandeko na ngai, mpe nakokumisa Yo kati na mayangani.
I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.
23 Bino bato oyo botosaka Yawe, bosanzola Ye! Bino nyonso bana ya Jakobi, bopesa Ye lokumu! Bino nyonso bana ya Isalaele, botosa Ye!
You who fear the Lord, praise him. All the offspring of Jacob, glorify him.
24 Pamba te Yawe atiolaki te mpe abwakaki te mobola; apesaka ye mokongo te mpe ayokaka ye tango asengaka lisungi.
May all the offspring of Israel fear him. For he has neither spurned nor despised the pleas of the poor. Neither has he turned his face away from me. And when I cried out to him, he heeded me.
25 Na ngolu na Yo, nakumisaka Yo kati na mayangani, nakokisaka bandayi na ngai na miso ya bato oyo batosaka Yo.
My praise is with you, within a great church. I will pay my vows in the sight of those who fear him.
26 Babola bakolia mpe bakotonda; bato oyo balukaka Yawe bakosanzola Ye. Tika ete bozala na bomoi libela na libela.
The poor will eat and be satisfied, and those who yearn for the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will live forever and ever.
27 Mokili mobimba ekokanisa Yawe, ekomipesa epai na Ye; mpe bituka nyonso ya bikolo ekogumbama liboso na Ye.
All the ends of the earth will remember, and they will be converted to the Lord. And all the families of the Gentiles will adore in his sight.
28 Pamba te Yawe azali Mokonzi, azali kokonza bikolo.
For the kingdom belongs to the Lord, and he will have dominion over the Gentiles.
29 Bazwi nyonso ya mokili bakolia mpe bakogumbamela Ye; bato nyonso oyo bazali kokende na kunda, ba-oyo bakoki te komibatela na bomoi, bakogumbama liboso na Ye.
All the fat of the earth have gnashed their teeth, and they have adored. In his sight, they will fall down, all those who descend to the ground.
30 Bakitani na bango bakosalela Yawe mpe bakopanza sango na Ye epai ya ekeke oyo ekoya na sima;
And my soul will live for him, and my offspring will serve him.
31 bakosakola misala ya bosembo na Ye, epai ya bato oyo bakobotama.
There will be announced for the Lord a future generation, and the heavens will announce his justice to a people who will be born, whom the Lord has made.
