Banzembo 32
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Esengo na moto oyo mabe na ye elimbisami, mpe masumu na ye elongwe!
AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
2 Esengo na moto oyo Yawe atangelaka lisumu te, mpe atambolaka na lokuta te.
O the blessedness of a man, To whom YHWH does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
3 Lokola nazalaki kondima mabe na ngai te, nazalaki tango nyonso kolela mpo na pasi.
When I have kept silence, my bones have become old, Through my roaring all the day.
4 Butu mpe moyi, loboko na Yo ezalaki kofinafina ngai; makasi na ngai ekomaki kosila ndenge makasa ekawukaka na eleko ya moyi.
When by day and by night Your hand is heavy on me, My moisture has been changed Into the droughts of summer. (Selah)
5 Tango nandimaki masumu na ngai mpe nabombaki mabe na ngai te, nalobaki: « Nakotubela masumu na ngai liboso ya Yawe. » Bongo Yo olimbisaki mabe mpe masumu na ngai.
I cause You to know my sin, And I have not covered my iniquity. I have said, “I confess to YHWH concerning My transgressions,” And You have taken away the iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
6 Boye, tika ete bayengebene nyonso basambelaka Yo na tango ya malamu! Soki mayi minene etomboki, bambonge na yango ekozwa bango te.
For every saintly one prays this to You, In the time to find [You]. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, They do not come to him.
7 Ozali ebombamelo na ngai; obatelaka ngai mpo ete pasi ekanga ngai te mpe ozingelaka ngai na banzembo ya kokangolama.
You [are] a hiding place for me, You keep me from distress, Surround me [with] songs of deliverance. (Selah)
8 Olobaki: « Nakopesa yo malako mpe nakolakisa yo nzela ya kolanda; nakopesa yo toli mpe nakosenzela yo.
I cause you to act wisely, And direct you in the way that you go, I cause My eye to take counsel concerning you.
9 Kozala te lokola mpunda to lokola mile ezanga bososoli, oyo bakangaka nguya na yango na nzela ya ebende mpe ya singa oyo batiaka na minoko na yango mpo na kopekisa yango kopusana pene na yo. »
Do not be as a horse—as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near to you.
10 Bato mabe bazali na pasi mingi, kasi bolamu ya Yawe ezingelaka bato oyo batiaka elikya na Yawe.
Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As for him who is trusting in YHWH, Kindness surrounds him.
11 Bino bato ya sembo, bosepela kati na Yawe, bozala na esengo! Bino nyonso oyo bozali na mitema alima, bobeta milolo ya esengo.
Be glad in YHWH, and rejoice, you righteous, And sing, all you upright of heart!
