Banzembo 32
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Esengo na moto oyo mabe na ye elimbisami, mpe masumu na ye elongwe!
Of David a poem how blessed! [is one who] is forgiven of transgression [is one who] is covered of sin.
2 Esengo na moto oyo Yawe atangelaka lisumu te, mpe atambolaka na lokuta te.
How blessed! [is] a person [whom] not he reckons Yahweh to him iniquity and there not in spirit his [is] deceit.
3 Lokola nazalaki kondima mabe na ngai te, nazalaki tango nyonso kolela mpo na pasi.
If I kept silent they became worn out bones my in cry of distress my 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.
For - by day and night it was heavy on me hand your it was changed juice my by [the] dry heat 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.
Sin my I made known to you and iniquity my not I covered I said I will confess on transgressions my to Yahweh and you you forgave [the] guilt of sin my (Selah)
6 Boye, tika ete bayengebene nyonso basambelaka Yo na tango ya malamu! Soki mayi minene etomboki, bambonge na yango ekozwa bango te.
On this let him pray every faithful [person] - to you to a time of finding certainly to a flood of waters many to him not they will reach.
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 of me from distress you will preserve me shouts of deliverance; [surely] you will surround me (Selah)
8 Olobaki: « Nakopesa yo malako mpe nakolakisa yo nzela ya kolanda; nakopesa yo toli mpe nakosenzela yo.
I will instruct you - and I will teach you [the] way which you will go I will counsel [you] [will be] on you eye my.
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. »
May not you be - like a horse like a mule [which] there not [is] understanding with bridle and halter trapping[s] its to restrain not to draw near to you.
10 Bato mabe bazali na pasi mingi, kasi bolamu ya Yawe ezingelaka bato oyo batiaka elikya na Yawe.
Many pains [belong] to wicked [person] and the [one who] trusts in Yahweh covenant loyalty it will surround him.
11 Bino bato ya sembo, bosepela kati na Yawe, bozala na esengo! Bino nyonso oyo bozali na mitema alima, bobeta milolo ya esengo.
Rejoice in Yahweh and be glad O righteous [people] and shout for joy O all [people] upright of heart.
