Banzembo 36
1 Nzembo ya Davidi, mowumbu ya Yawe. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Kati na motema na ngai, nazali na sango kowuta na Nzambe na tina na bato mabe oyo batondi na masumu: Kotosa Nzambe ezali na tina ata moke te na miso na bango.
For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Bamipesaka lokumu makasi, bandimaka te mpe bayinaka masumu na bango te.
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity shall not be found out and be hated.
3 Minoko na bango ebimisaka maloba mabe mpe lokuta, baboyaka kosala na bokebi mpe kosala bolamu.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise [and] to do good.
4 Ezala na bambeto na bango, basalaka kaka mabongisi ya kosala mabe, batambolaka te mpo na kosala bolamu mpe baboyaka mabe te.
He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Yawe, bolingo na Yo ekenda kino na likolo, boyengebene na Yo kino na mapata.
Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the skies.
6 Bosembo na Yo ezali lokola bangomba ya Nzambe, mikano na Yo ezali mozindo lokola lubwaku ya molayi. Yawe, obikisaka bato mpe banyama.
Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
7 Oh Nzambe, tala ndenge nini bolingo na Yo ezali motuya! Bato bazwaka ebombamelo na elili ya mapapu na Yo.
How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.
8 Baliaka mpe batondaka bilei ya Ndako na Yo, mpe omelisaka bango mayi kowuta na bolingo monene na Yo.
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 Pamba te etima ya bomoi ezali elongo na Yo; kati na pole na Yo nde tomonaka pole.
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 Koba kotalisa bolingo na Yo epai ya bato oyo bayebi Yo, mpe bosembo na Yo epai ya bato ya mitema alima.
O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Tika ete bato ya lolendo bakoma te kino epai na ngai, mpe tika ete bato mabe babengana ngai te.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 Tala ndenge nini bato ya misala mabe bakweyi, balali na mabele, bazangi makoki ya kotelema.
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
