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.
`To victorie, to Dauid, `the seruaunt of the Lord. The vniust man seide, that he trespasse in hym silf; the drede of God is not bifor hise iyen.
2 Bamipesaka lokumu makasi, bandimaka te mpe bayinaka masumu na bango te.
For he dide gilefuli in the siyt of God; that his wickidnesse be foundun to hatrede.
3 Minoko na bango ebimisaka maloba mabe mpe lokuta, baboyaka kosala na bokebi mpe kosala bolamu.
The wordis of his mouth ben wickidnesse and gile, he nolde vndirstonde to do wel.
4 Ezala na bambeto na bango, basalaka kaka mabongisi ya kosala mabe, batambolaka te mpo na kosala bolamu mpe baboyaka mabe te.
He thouyte wickidnesse in his bed, he stood nyy al weie not good; forsothe he hatide not malice.
5 Yawe, bolingo na Yo ekenda kino na likolo, boyengebene na Yo kino na mapata.
Lord, thi merci is in heuene; and thi treuthe is `til to cloudis.
6 Bosembo na Yo ezali lokola bangomba ya Nzambe, mikano na Yo ezali mozindo lokola lubwaku ya molayi. Yawe, obikisaka bato mpe banyama.
Thi riytfulnesse is as the hillis of God; thi domes ben myche depthe of watris. Lord, thou schalt saue men and beestis;
7 Oh Nzambe, tala ndenge nini bolingo na Yo ezali motuya! Bato bazwaka ebombamelo na elili ya mapapu na Yo.
as thou, God, hast multiplied thi merci. But the sones of men; schulen hope in the hilyng of thi wyngis.
8 Baliaka mpe batondaka bilei ya Ndako na Yo, mpe omelisaka bango mayi kowuta na bolingo monene na Yo.
Thei schulen be fillid gretli of the plentee of thin hows; and thou schalt yyue drynke to hem with the steef streem of thi likyng.
9 Pamba te etima ya bomoi ezali elongo na Yo; kati na pole na Yo nde tomonaka pole.
For the wel of life is at thee; and in thi liyt we schulen se liyt.
10 Koba kotalisa bolingo na Yo epai ya bato oyo bayebi Yo, mpe bosembo na Yo epai ya bato ya mitema alima.
Lord, sette forth thi mercy to hem, that knowen thee; and thi ryytfulnesse to hem that ben of riytful herte.
11 Tika ete bato ya lolendo bakoma te kino epai na ngai, mpe tika ete bato mabe babengana ngai te.
The foot of pryde come not to me; and the hond of the synnere moue me not.
12 Tala ndenge nini bato ya misala mabe bakweyi, balali na mabele, bazangi makoki ya kotelema.
There thei felden doun, that worchen wickidnesse; thei ben cast out, and myyten not stonde.
