Banzembo 35
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, kota likambo na ngai liboso ya bayini na ngai; bundisa bato oyo bazali kobundisa ngai.
A Psalme of Dauid. Pleade thou my cause, O Lord, with them that striue with me: fight thou against them, that fight against me.
2 Kamata nguba ya moke mpe ya monene, mpe telema mpo na kosunga ngai.
Lay hand vpon the shielde and buckler, and stand vp for mine helpe.
3 Tombola likonga ya monene mpe ya moke mpo na kobundisa bato oyo bazali kolanda ngai. Loba na ngai: « Nazali lobiko na Yo. »
Bring out also the speare and stop the way against them, that persecute me: say vnto my soule, I am thy saluation.
4 Tika ete bato oyo bazali komeka bomoi na ngai basambwa mpe bayoka soni; tika ete bato oyo bazali kokana kosala ngai mabe bazonga sima mpe bakoma mawa-mawa!
Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seeke after my soule: let them be turned backe, and brought to confusion, that imagine mine hurt.
5 Tika ete bakoma lokola matiti ya kokawuka oyo mopepe ezali kopumbwisa, tango anjelu ya Yawe akotindika bango;
Let them be as chaffe before the winde, and let the Angel of the Lord scatter them.
6 tika ete nzela na bango ekoma molili mpe moselu tango anjelu ya Yawe akobengana bango.
Let their way be darke and slipperie: and let the Angel of the Lord persecute them.
7 Mpo ete, na kozanga tina, mpo na kokanga ngai, batielaki ngai mitambo mpe batimolaki mabulu,
For without cause they haue hid the pit and their net for me: without cause haue they digged a pit for my soule.
8 tika ete libebi ekweyela bango na mbalakata, bakangama bango moko na mitambo oyo batielaki ngai mpe bakweya kati na mabulu yango!
Let destruction come vpon him at vnwares, and let his net, that he hath laid priuilie, take him: let him fall into the same destruction.
9 Nakotonda na esengo kati na Yawe mpe nakosepela kati na lobiko na Ye.
Then my soule shalbe ioyfull in the Lord: it shall reioyce in his saluation.
10 Mikuwa na ngai nyonso ekoloba: « Oh Yawe, nani akoki kokangola, lokola Yo, mobola wuta na maboko ya moto oyo aleki ye na makasi, mobola mpe mokeleli wuta na maboko ya banyokoli na bango? »
All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like vnto thee, which deliuerest the poore from him, that is too strong for him! yea, the poore and him that is in miserie, from him that spoyleth him!
11 Batatoli oyo bamipesa na kanza batelemi, bazali kopesa ngai mituna na tina na makambo oyo nayebi te.
Cruell witnesses did rise vp: they asked of me things that I knewe not.
12 Bazali kozongisela ngai mabe mpo na bolamu oyo nasalaki, mpe kosundola ngai lokola monyokolami.
They rewarded me euill for good, to haue spoyled my soule.
13 Nzokande tango bango babelaki, ngai nalataki saki, namikitisaki na kokila bilei, nazalaki kobondela mpo na bango.
Yet I, when they were sicke, I was clothed with a sacke: I humbled my soule with fasting: and my praier was turned vpon my bosome.
14 Nazalaki kotambola na mawa lokola mpo na moninga to mpo na ndeko; nazalaki kokitisa moto na se mpo na mawa lokola moto oyo azali kolela mama na ye.
I behaued my selfe as to my friend, or as to my brother: I humbled my selfe, mourning as one that bewaileth his mother.
15 Kasi awa ngai nakomi na pasi, bango bazali kosepela mpe kosangana; wana ngai nayebi te, bango bazali kosangana mpo na kotonga ngai, bazali kolemba te kofinga ngai.
But in mine aduersitie they reioyced, and gathered them selues together: the abiects assembled themselues against me, and knewe not: they tare me and ceased not,
16 Lokola bapagano, bazali koseka ngai, bazali kolia minu na tina na ngai.
With the false skoffers at bankets, gnashing their teeth against me.
17 Yawe, kino tango nini okotala kaka boye? Kangola ngai wuta na misala na bango ya mabe, bomoi na ngai wuta na manzaka ya bankosi oyo.
Lord, how long wilt thou beholde this? deliuer my soule from their tumult, euen my desolate soule from the lions.
18 Nakokumisa Yo kati na mayangani monene, nakosanzola Yo kati na ebele ya bato.
So will I giue thee thankes in a great Congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19 Tika ete banguna na ngai basepela te na tina na ngai; tika ete bayini na ngai na kozanga tina bakanga miso te.
Let not them that are mine enemies, vniustly reioyce ouer mee, neyther let them winke with the eye, that hate mee without a cause.
20 Pamba te balobaka te maloba ya kimia, kasi babongisaka lokuta mpo na kokosela bato ya kimia makambo kati na mboka.
For they speake not as friendes: but they imagine deceitfull woordes against the quiet of the lande.
21 Balobaka na mongongo makasi: « Eh! Eh! Tomonaki ye! »
And they gaped on mee with their mouthes, saying, Aha, aha, our eye hath seene.
22 Yawe, omoni nyonso wana; kovanda nye te! Nkolo, kozala mosika na ngai te!
Thou hast seene it, O Lord: keepe not silence: be not farre from me, O Lord.
23 Lamuka mpe telema mpo na kolongisa ngai! Nzambe na ngai mpe Nkolo na ngai, kota likambo na ngai.
Arise and wake to my iudgement, euen to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
24 Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, longisa ngai na bosembo na Yo; kotika bango te kosepela na tina na ngai.
Iudge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousnesse, and let them not reioyce ouer mee.
25 Tika ete bamilobela te: « Ah! Tala makambo oyo tozalaki koluka! » Tika ete baloba te: « Tolie ye. »
Let them not say in their hearts, O our soule reioyce: neither let them say, We haue deuoured him.
26 Tika ete bato nyonso oyo basepelaka na pasi na ngai, bango nyonso lisanga, bayoka soni mpe basambwa! Tika ete bato oyo batombokelaka ngai balata soni mpe bazala kati na yikiyiki!
Let them bee confounded, and put to shame together, that reioyce at mine hurt: let them bee clothed with confusion and shame, that lift vp themselues against me.
27 Tika ete bato oyo basepelaka na bosembo na ngai baganga na esengo mpe basepela; tika ete balobaka tango nyonso: « Tika ete Yawe anetolama, Ye oyo asepelaka na kimia ya mowumbu na Ye! »
But let them be ioyful and glad, that loue my righteousnesse: yea, let them say alway, Let the Lord be magnified, which loueth the prosperitie of his seruant.
28 Nakosakola bosembo na Yo, nakokumisa Yo mikolo nyonso.
And my tongue shall vtter thy righteousnesse, and thy praise euery day.
