Banzembo 26
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, longisa ngai na miso ya basambisi, pamba te natambolaka na bosembo; natielaka Yawe motema, nakozonga sima te.
A Psalme of David. Judge me, O Lord, for I haue walked in mine innocency: my trust hath bene also in the Lord: therefore shall I not slide.
2 Yawe, tala ngai malamu mpe meka ngai, sosola motema mpe makanisi na ngai,
Proue me, O Lord, and trie mee: examine my reines, and mine heart.
3 pamba te napengwaka te liboso ya bolingo na Yo mpe nabikaka bomoi na ngai kolanda bosembo na Yo.
For thy louing kindnesse is before mine eyes: therefore haue I walked in thy trueth.
4 Navandaka esika moko te na bakosi, natambolaka nzela moko te na bato ya mitema mibale.
I haue not hanted with vaine persons, neither kept companie with the dissemblers.
5 Nayinaka kosangana elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe navandaka te esika moko na bato mabe.
I haue hated the assemblie of the euill, and haue not companied with the wicked.
6 Yawe, nasukoli maboko na ngai mpo na kolakisa ete nasali mabe te, mpe nabandi na etumbelo na Yo,
I will wash mine handes in innocencie, O Lord, and compasse thine altar,
7 mpo na kozongisela Yo matondi mpe kotatola misala minene na Yo.
That I may declare with the voyce of thankesgiuing, and set foorth all thy wonderous woorkes.
8 Yawe, nasepelaka na Tempelo epai wapi ovandaka elongo na nkembo na Yo.
O Lord, I haue loued the habitation of thine house, and the place where thine honour dwelleth.
9 Kolongola te molimo na ngai nzela moko na bato ya masumu, bomoi na ngai elongo na basopi makila,
Gather not my soule with the sinners, nor my life with the bloodie men:
10 oyo maboko na bango etondi na makila, mpe maboko na bango ya mibali etondi na kanyaka.
In whose handes is wickednes, and their right hand is full of bribes.
11 Natambolaka na bomoi ya bosembo; kangola ngai mpe salela ngai ngolu.
But I will walke in mine innocencie: redeeme me therefore, and be mercifull vnto me.
12 Makolo na ngai etambolaka na nzela ya alima; nakopambola Yawe kati na mayangani ya monene.
My foote standeth in vprightnesse: I will praise thee, O Lord, in the Congregations.
