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 THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. In my calling answer me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity You gave enlargement to me; Favor me, and hear 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?
Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
3 Boyeba ete Yawe abulisi mpo na Ye moko mosali oyo azali sembo na miso na Ye; Yawe ayokaka ngai tango nabelelaka Ye.
And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
4 Soki bosiliki, bosalaka masumu te; soki bolali na mbeto, bolukaka kososola makambo mpe bovandaka kimia.
“Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
5 Bobonzaka bambeka kolanda mibeko mpe botiaka elikya na bino kati na Yawe.
Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
6 Bato mingi bazali kotuna: « Nani akomemela biso bolamu? » Oh Yawe, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo.
Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
7 Tondisa motema na ngai na esengo soki bafuluki na bambuma ya ble elongo na vino ya sika.
You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
8 Nakolala mpe nakozwa pongi na kimia, pamba te, Yo moko Yawe, osalaka ete navanda na kimia.
Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
