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?
“For the leader of the music. To the tune of “The hind of the morning.” A psalm of David.” My God, my God! why hast thou forsaken me? Why so far from mine aid, and from the words of my cry?
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 during the day, but thou hearest not; In the night also, but I have no rest.
3 Nzokande, ozali Mosantu, ovandaka na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi, kati na masanzoli ya Isalaele.
And yet thou art holy, Dwelling amid 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 save them.
5 Bagangaki epai na Yo, mpe Yo okangolaki bango; batiaki elikya na bango kati na Yo mpe bayokisamaki soni te.
They called upon thee, and were delivered; They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
6 Nazali lisusu moto te, kasi mutsopi; bato nyonso bazali kofinga mpe kotiola ngai.
But I am a worm, and not a man; The reproach of men, and the scorn of the people.
7 Bato nyonso oyo bazali komona ngai bazali koseka ngai, bazali kokamwa, koningisa mito mpe koloba:
All who see me scoff at me; They open wide the lips; they shake 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 trusted in the LORD, let him help him; Let him deliver him, since he delighted in him!”
9 Solo, Yawe, obimisaki ngai na libumu ya mama na ngai, obatelaki ngai na kimia na tolo na ye.
Surely thou art he that didst bring me into the world; Thou didst make me lie secure upon my mother's breast!
10 Wuta mbotama na ngai, batikaki ngai na maboko na Yo; wuta libumu ya mama na ngai, ozali Nzambe na ngai.
Upon thee have I cast myself from my birth; Thou hast been my God from my earliest breath!
11 Kozala mosika na ngai te, pamba te pasi ekomi pene mpe nazangi moto oyo akosunga ngai.
Oh, 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 surround me; Strong bulls of Bashan close me in on every side.
13 mpe bafungoleli ngai makasi minoko na bango lokola nkosi oyo etomboki mpe ezali kolia nyama.
They open their mouths wide against me, Like a ravening and 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 become like wax; It melteth in my bosom.
15 Makasi na ngai ekawuki lokola potopoto, mpe nazali kokoka lisusu koloba te; otie ngai pembeni ya lilita.
My strength is dried up like an earthen vessel, And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; Thou hast brought me to 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 surrounded me; Bands of evil-doers have encompassed me, —Like lions my hands and my feet.
17 Nakoki sik’oyo kotanga ata mikuwa na ngai nyonso; kasi bato bazali kotala mpe koseka ngai,
I can count all my bones; They gaze, and feast their eyes upon me.
18 bazali kokabola bilamba na ngai mpe kobeta zeke mpo na nzambala na ngai.
They divide my garments among them, And for my vesture they cast lots.
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! make haste to mine aid!
20 Bikisa bomoi na ngai liboso ya mopanga, mpe kangola yango wuta na manzaka ya bambwa.
Deliver my life from the sword; My blood 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; Shield me from the horns of the buffaloes!
22 Nakotatola Kombo na Yo epai ya bandeko na ngai, mpe nakokumisa Yo kati na mayangani.
I will proclaim thy name to 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!
Praise him, ye worshippers of Jehovah! Extol him, all ye race of Jacob. And fear him, all ye race 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 misery of the afflicted. Nor 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 afflicted shall eat, and be satisfied; They that seek the LORD shall praise him; Your hearts shall be glad for ever 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 shall remember, and turn to Jehovah; All the families of the nations shall worship before thee!
28 Pamba te Yawe azali Mokonzi, azali kokonza bikolo.
For the kingdom is Jehovah's; He is the governor of 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 the rich of the earth shall eat and worship; Before him shall they also bow, who are going down to the dust, Who cannot keep themselves alive.
30 Bakitani na bango bakosalela Yawe mpe bakopanza sango na Ye epai ya ekeke oyo ekoya na sima;
The future generation shall serve him; The race which is to come shall hear of Jehovah.
31 bakosakola misala ya bosembo na Ye, epai ya bato oyo bakobotama.
They shall come, and declare his righteousness; His mighty deeds to the people that shall be born.
