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!
A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Ebele bazali koloba na tina na ngai: « Nzambe akobikisa ye te! »
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” (Selah)
3 Nzokande Yo, Yawe, ozali nguba mpe nkembo na ngai, Yo nde omatisaka lokumu na ngai.
But you, LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Nabelelaka Yawe, mpe ayanolaka ngai wuta na ngomba na Ye ya bule.
I cry to the LORD with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Nalalaka mpe nazwaka pongi; nalamukaka lisusu, pamba te Yawe azali makasi na ngai.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for the LORD sustains me.
6 Nakobanga te atako ebele ya bankoto bazingeli ngai na bangambo nyonso.
I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Yawe, telema! Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai! Beta banguna na ngai nyonso bambata, buka bato mabe minu.
Arise, LORD! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have 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 belongs to the LORD. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
