Banzembo 28
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, nazali kobelela Yo! Ozali Libanga na ngai, koboya te koyoka ngai. Soki te, nakozala lokola bato oyo bazali kokita na kunda.
A Psalme of David. Unto thee, O Lord, doe I crie: O my strength, be not deafe toward mee, lest, if thou answere me not, I be like them that goe downe into the pit.
2 Yoka ngai tango nabondelaka Yo mpo na kosenga lisungi, tango natombolaka maboko na ngai, na kotala na ngambo ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule.
Heare the voyce of my petitions, when I crie vnto thee, when I holde vp mine handes towarde thine holy Oracle.
3 Kokumba ngai te elongo na bato mabe, elongo na bato oyo basalaka mabe, oyo balobaka makambo ya kimia epai ya baninga na bango, kasi babombaka mabe kati na mitema na bango.
Drawe mee not away with the wicked, and with the woorkers of iniquitie: which speake friendly to their neighbours, when malice is in their hearts.
4 Zongisela bango kolanda misala na bango, kolanda misala mabe na bango; zongisela bango kolanda misala ya maboko na bango, mpe kweyisela bango oyo ekoki na misala na bango.
Reward them according to their deedes, and according to the wickednes of their inuentions: recompense them after the woorke of their handes: render them their reward.
5 Pamba te bamemiaka te misala ya Yawe mpe makambo oyo akokisaka, akobamba bango na mabele mpe akotikala kotelemisa bango lisusu te.
For they regarde not the woorkes of the Lord, nor the operation of his handes: therefore breake them downe, and builde them not vp.
6 Tika ete Yawe akumisama, pamba te ayanoli mabondeli na ngai.
Praised be the Lord, for he hath heard the voyce of my petitions.
7 Yawe azali makasi mpe nguba na ngai; natielaka Ye motema na ngai, mpe asungaka ngai. Motema na ngai etondi na esengo, mpe nazali kokumisa Ye na banzembo na ngai.
The Lord is my strength and my shielde: mine heart trusted in him, and I was helped: therfore mine heart shall reioyce, and with my song will I praise him.
8 Yawe azali makasi ya bato na Ye, ndako batonga makasi epai wapi mopakolami na Ye azwaka lobiko.
The Lord is their strength, and he is the strength of the deliuerances of his anointed.
9 Yawe, bikisa bato na Yo mpe pambola libula na Yo; zala mobateli na bango mpe sunga bango mpo na libela.
Saue thy people, and blesse thine inheritance: feede them also, and exalt them for euer.
