Banzembo 4
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda. Nzambe, bosembo na ngai, soki nabeleli Yo, yanola ngai. Kangola ngai na pasi, salela ngai ngolu, mpe yoka libondeli na ngai.
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare me when I call, O God of my righteousnes: thou hast set me at libertie, when I was in distresse: haue mercie vpon me and hearken vnto my prayer.
2 Bino bato, kino tango nini bokoyokisa nkembo na ngai soni? Kino tango nini bokomisepelisa na makambo ya pamba mpe bokolanda makambo ya lokuta?
O ye sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
3 Boyeba ete Yawe abulisi mpo na Ye moko mosali oyo azali sembo na miso na Ye; Yawe ayokaka ngai tango nabelelaka Ye.
For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
4 Soki bosiliki, bosalaka masumu te; soki bolali na mbeto, bolukaka kososola makambo mpe bovandaka kimia.
Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
5 Bobonzaka bambeka kolanda mibeko mpe botiaka elikya na bino kati na Yawe.
Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
6 Bato mingi bazali kotuna: « Nani akomemela biso bolamu? » Oh Yawe, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo.
Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
7 Tondisa motema na ngai na esengo soki bafuluki na bambuma ya ble elongo na vino ya sika.
Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
8 Nakolala mpe nakozwa pongi na kimia, pamba te, Yo moko Yawe, osalaka ete navanda na kimia.
I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
