< 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?
To him that excelleth upon Aiieleth Hasshahar. A Psalme of Dauid. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, and art so farre from mine health, and from the wordes of my roaring?
2 Nzambe na ngai, na moyi, nabeleli Yo, kasi oyanoli ngai te; na butu, nabeleli lisusu, mpe natikali kovanda nye te.
O my God, I crie by day, but thou hearest not, and by night, but haue no audience.
3 Nzokande, ozali Mosantu, ovandaka na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi, kati na masanzoli ya Isalaele.
But thou art holy, and doest inhabite the prayses of Israel.
4 Batata na biso batiaki elikya na bango kati na Yo, bamipesaki epai na Yo, mpe okangolaki bango.
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didest deliuer them.
5 Bagangaki epai na Yo, mpe Yo okangolaki bango; batiaki elikya na bango kati na Yo mpe bayokisamaki soni te.
They called vpon thee, and were deliuered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 Nazali lisusu moto te, kasi mutsopi; bato nyonso bazali kofinga mpe kotiola ngai.
But I am a worme, and not a man: a shame of men, and the contempt of the people.
7 Bato nyonso oyo bazali komona ngai bazali koseka ngai, bazali kokamwa, koningisa mito mpe koloba:
All they that see me, haue me in derision: they make a mowe and nod the head, saying,
8 « Atiaka motema na ye epai na Yawe; tika ete Yawe abikisa ye! Tika ete Yawe akangola ye, pamba te asepelaka na Ye! »
He trusted in the Lord, let him deliuer him: let him saue him, seeing he loueth him.
9 Solo, Yawe, obimisaki ngai na libumu ya mama na ngai, obatelaki ngai na kimia na tolo na ye.
But thou didest draw me out of ye wombe: thou gauest me hope, euen at my mothers breasts.
10 Wuta mbotama na ngai, batikaki ngai na maboko na Yo; wuta libumu ya mama na ngai, ozali Nzambe na ngai.
I was cast vpon thee, euen from ye wombe: thou art my God from my mothers belly.
11 Kozala mosika na ngai te, pamba te pasi ekomi pene mpe nazangi moto oyo akosunga ngai.
Be not farre from me, because trouble is neere: for there is none to helpe me.
12 Banguna na ngai bazingeli ngai lokola lisanga ya bangombe ya mibali, bazingeli ngai lokola banyama mabe oyo ezalaka na Bashani;
Many yong bulles haue compassed me: mightie bulles of Bashan haue closed me about.
13 mpe bafungoleli ngai makasi minoko na bango lokola nkosi oyo etomboki mpe ezali kolia nyama.
They gape vpon me with their mouthes, as a ramping and roaring lyon.
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.
I am like water powred out, and all my bones are out of ioynt: mine heart is like waxe: it is molten in the middes of my bowels.
15 Makasi na ngai ekawuki lokola potopoto, mpe nazali kokoka lisusu koloba te; otie ngai pembeni ya lilita.
My strength is dryed vp like a potsheard, and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes, and thou hast brought me 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 dogges haue compassed me, and the assemblie of the wicked haue inclosed me: they perced mine hands and my feete.
17 Nakoki sik’oyo kotanga ata mikuwa na ngai nyonso; kasi bato bazali kotala mpe koseka ngai,
I may tell all my bones: yet they beholde, and looke vpon me.
18 bazali kokabola bilamba na ngai mpe kobeta zeke mpo na nzambala na ngai.
They part my garments among them, and cast lottes vpon my vesture.
19 Kasi Yo, Yawe, kozala mosika te! Ozali makasi na ngai; yaka noki kosunga ngai.
But be thou not farre off, O Lord, my strength: hasten to helpe me.
20 Bikisa bomoi na ngai liboso ya mopanga, mpe kangola yango wuta na manzaka ya bambwa.
Deliuer my soule from the sword: my desolate soule from the power of the dogge.
21 Bikisa ngai wuta na monoko ya nkosi mpe na maseke ya mpakasa.
Saue me from the lyons mouth, and answere me in sauing me from the hornes of the vnicornes.
22 Nakotatola Kombo na Yo epai ya bandeko na ngai, mpe nakokumisa Yo kati na mayangani.
I wil declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Congregation will I praise thee, saying,
23 Bino bato oyo botosaka Yawe, bosanzola Ye! Bino nyonso bana ya Jakobi, bopesa Ye lokumu! Bino nyonso bana ya Isalaele, botosa Ye!
Prayse the Lord, ye that feare him: magnifie ye him, all the seede of Iaakob, and feare ye him, all the seede of Israel.
24 Pamba te Yawe atiolaki te mpe abwakaki te mobola; apesaka ye mokongo te mpe ayokaka ye tango asengaka lisungi.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred ye affliction of the poore: neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he called vnto him, he heard.
25 Na ngolu na Yo, nakumisaka Yo kati na mayangani, nakokisaka bandayi na ngai na miso ya bato oyo batosaka Yo.
My prayse shalbe of thee in the great Congregation: my vowes will I perfourme before them that feare him.
26 Babola bakolia mpe bakotonda; bato oyo balukaka Yawe bakosanzola Ye. Tika ete bozala na bomoi libela na libela.
The poore shall eate and be satisfied: they that seeke after the Lord, shall prayse him: your heart shall liue for euer.
27 Mokili mobimba ekokanisa Yawe, ekomipesa epai na Ye; mpe bituka nyonso ya bikolo ekogumbama liboso na Ye.
All the endes of the worlde shall remember themselues, and turne to the Lord: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 Pamba te Yawe azali Mokonzi, azali kokonza bikolo.
For the kingdome is the Lords, and he ruleth among the nations.
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 they that be fat in the earth, shall eate and worship: all they that go downe into the dust, shall bowe before him, euen he that cannot quicken his owne soule.
30 Bakitani na bango bakosalela Yawe mpe bakopanza sango na Ye epai ya ekeke oyo ekoya na sima;
Their seede shall serue him: it shalbe counted vnto the Lord for a generation.
31 bakosakola misala ya bosembo na Ye, epai ya bato oyo bakobotama.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shall be borne, because he hath done it.
