Banzembo 23

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe azali mobateli na ngai, nakozanga ata eloko moko te.

A psalm of David Yahweh [is] shepherd my not I lack.

2 Apemisaka ngai na matiti ya mobesu, mpe amemaka ngai pembeni ya mayi ya kimia.

In pastures of grass he makes lie down me at waters of rest he leads me.

3 Ayeisaka sika makasi ya bomoi na ngai, akambaka ngai na banzela ya bosembo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ye.

Self my he restores he guides me in tracks of righteousness for [the] sake of name his.

4 Ata soki nasengeli kokatisa lubwaku oyo etondi na molili ya kufa, nakobanga mabe ata moko te, pamba te ozali elongo na ngai, nzete na Yo ya mobateli ekambaka ngai, mpe lingenda na Yo ebatelaka ngai.

Also for I will go in a valley of deep darkness not I will fear harm for you [are] with me rod your and staff your they they comfort me.

5 Obongisaka mesa mpo na ngai na miso ya bayini na ngai, opakolaka moto na ngai mafuta mpe otondisaka kopo na ngai kino kosopana.

You arrange before me - a table before opposers my you have refreshed with oil head my cup my [is] saturation.

6 Solo, na mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ngai, esengo mpe bolingo na Yo ekobanda kolanda ngai; mpe nakovanda kati na Tempelo ya Yawe kino suka ya bomoi na ngai.

Surely - good and covenant loyalty they will pursue me all [the] days of life my and I will return in [the] house of Yahweh for length of days.
