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 the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words 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 cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3 Nzokande, ozali Mosantu, ovandaka na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi, kati na masanzoli ya Isalaele.
But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises 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 didst deliver them.
5 Bagangaki epai na Yo, mpe Yo okangolaki bango; batiaki elikya na bango kati na Yo mpe bayokisamaki soni te.
They cried unto thee, and were delivered: 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 worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 Bato nyonso oyo bazali komona ngai bazali koseka ngai, bazali kokamwa, koningisa mito mpe koloba:
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake 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 on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9 Solo, Yawe, obimisaki ngai na libumu ya mama na ngai, obatelaki ngai na kimia na tolo na ye.
But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother’s 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 upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother’s belly.
11 Kozala mosika na ngai te, pamba te pasi ekomi pene mpe nazangi moto oyo akosunga ngai.
Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none to help.
12 Banguna na ngai bazingeli ngai lokola lisanga ya bangombe ya mibali, bazingeli ngai lokola banyama mabe oyo ezalaka na Bashani;
Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round.
13 mpe bafungoleli ngai makasi minoko na bango lokola nkosi oyo etomboki mpe ezali kolia nyama.
They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion.
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 poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 Makasi na ngai ekawuki lokola potopoto, mpe nazali kokoka lisusu koloba te; otie ngai pembeni ya lilita.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; 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 dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 Nakoki sik’oyo kotanga ata mikuwa na ngai nyonso; kasi bato bazali kotala mpe koseka ngai,
I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me.
18 bazali kokabola bilamba na ngai mpe kobeta zeke mpo na nzambala na ngai.
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 Kasi Yo, Yawe, kozala mosika te! Ozali makasi na ngai; yaka noki kosunga ngai.
But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20 Bikisa bomoi na ngai liboso ya mopanga, mpe kangola yango wuta na manzaka ya bambwa.
Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Bikisa ngai wuta na monoko ya nkosi mpe na maseke ya mpakasa.
Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 Nakotatola Kombo na Yo epai ya bandeko na ngai, mpe nakokumisa Yo kati na mayangani.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 Bino bato oyo botosaka Yawe, bosanzola Ye! Bino nyonso bana ya Jakobi, bopesa Ye lokumu! Bino nyonso bana ya Isalaele, botosa Ye!
Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed 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 the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto 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 praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 Babola bakolia mpe bakotonda; bato oyo balukaka Yawe bakosanzola Ye. Tika ete bozala na bomoi libela na libela.
The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27 Mokili mobimba ekokanisa Yawe, ekomipesa epai na Ye; mpe bituka nyonso ya bikolo ekogumbama liboso na Ye.
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 Pamba te Yawe azali Mokonzi, azali kokonza bikolo.
For the kingdom [is] the LORD’s: and he [is] the governor 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 upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 Bakitani na bango bakosalela Yawe mpe bakopanza sango na Ye epai ya ekeke oyo ekoya na sima;
A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 bakosakola misala ya bosembo na Ye, epai ya bato oyo bakobotama.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this].
