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.
BY DAVID. To You, O YHWH, I call, My rock, do not be silent to me! Lest You are silent to me, And I have been compared With those going down to 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.
Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying to You, In my lifting up my hands toward your 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.
Do not draw me with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity, Speaking peace with their neighbors, And evil in their heart.
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.
Give to them according to their acting, And according to the evil of their doings. Give to them according to the work of their hands. Return their deed to them.
5 Pamba te bamemiaka te misala ya Yawe mpe makambo oyo akokisaka, akobamba bango na mabele mpe akotikala kotelemisa bango lisusu te.
For they do not attend to the doing of YHWH, And to the work of His hands. He throws them down, And does not build them up.
6 Tika ete Yawe akumisama, pamba te ayanoli mabondeli na ngai.
Blessed [is] YHWH, For He has heard the voice of my supplications.
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.
YHWH [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exults, And I thank Him with my song.
8 Yawe azali makasi ya bato na Ye, ndako batonga makasi epai wapi mopakolami na Ye azwaka lobiko.
YHWH [is] strength to him, Indeed, the strength of the salvation of His anointed [is] He.
9 Yawe, bikisa bato na Yo mpe pambola libula na Yo; zala mobateli na bango mpe sunga bango mpo na libela.
Save Your people, and bless Your inheritance, And feed them, and carry them for all time!
