Banzembo 3
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Ayembaki yango tango azalaki kokima Abisalomi, mwana na ye. Oh Yawe, banguna na ngai bazali motango boni! Banguna boni oyo bazali kobundisa ngai!
YHWH, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
2 Ebele bazali koloba na tina na ngai: « Nzambe akobikisa ye te! »
Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in Elohim. (Selah)
3 Nzokande Yo, Yawe, ozali nguba mpe nkembo na ngai, Yo nde omatisaka lokumu na ngai.
But thou, O YHWH, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 Nabelelaka Yawe, mpe ayanolaka ngai wuta na ngomba na Ye ya bule.
I cried unto YHWH with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Nalalaka mpe nazwaka pongi; nalamukaka lisusu, pamba te Yawe azali makasi na ngai.
I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for YHWH sustained me.
6 Nakobanga te atako ebele ya bankoto bazingeli ngai na bangambo nyonso.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Yawe, telema! Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai! Beta banguna na ngai nyonso bambata, buka bato mabe minu.
Arise, O YHWH; save me, O my Elohim: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Kokangolama na ngai ewutaka na Yawe. Tika ete lipamboli na Yo ewumela kati na bato na Yo.
Salvation belongeth unto YHWH: thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
