Banzembo 41
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Esengo na moto oyo akanisaka mobola! Yawe akokangola ye na tango ya pasi.
To the choirmaster a psalm of David. How blessed! [is one who] considers [the] poor in a day of trouble he will deliver him Yahweh.
2 Yawe akokengela ye mpe akobatela bomoi na ye, akokomisa ye moto ya esengo kati na mokili mpe akokaba ye te na maboko ya banguna na ye.
Yahweh - he will keep him and he will preserve alive him (and he will be called blessed *Q(K)*) in the land and may not you give him in [the] desire of enemies his.
3 Yawe akosunga ye na mbeto na ye soki abeli mpe akobikisa ye na bokono na ye nyonso.
Yahweh he will sustain him on a couch of illness all bed his you have changed in sickness his.
4 Nalobaki: « Oh Yawe, yokela ngai mawa; bikisa ngai na bokono, pamba te nasalaki masumu epai na Yo. »
I I said O Yahweh show favor to me heal! self my for I have sinned to you.
5 Banguna na ngai balobaka mabe na tina na ngai: « Akokufa mokolo nini mpo ete kombo na ye etangama lisusu te? »
Enemies my they speak evil of me when? will he die and will it perish? name his.
6 Kati na bango, moto nyonso oyo ayaka kotala ngai alobaka kaka lokuta mpo na kobebisa lokumu na ngai, akangisaka kati na ye makambo ya lokuta mpe, soki kaka abimi libanda, apanzaka yango na matongi.
And if someone came to see - falsehood it speaks heart his it gathers wickedness for itself he goes out to the outside he speaks.
7 Banguna na ngai basanganaka kaka mpo na kotonga ngai mpe kokanisa mpo na libebi na ngai.
Together on me they whisper to one another all [those who] hate me on me - they plot trouble for me.
8 Balobaka: « Pasi moko ya somo penza ekangi ye, ebwaki ye na mbeto mpe azali kokoka lisusu kotelema te. »
A thing of worthlessness [has been] poured out on him and [the one] who he lay down not he will repeat to rise.
9 Ezala molingami na ngai ya kimia, oyo nazalaki kotiela motema mpe azalaki kolia sani moko elongo na ngai, abalukeli ngai.
Also a person of peace my - whom I trusted in him [who] ate food my he has made great on me a heel.
10 Kasi Yo, Yawe, yokela ngai mawa mpe telemisa ngai mpo ete nazongisela bango mabe na mabe.
And you O Yahweh show favor to me and raise up me so let me repay to them.
11 Nakoyeba ete osepelaka na ngai soki kaka monguna na ngai agangi te na tina na ngai.
By this I know that you delight in me that not he shouts in triumph enemy my over me.
12 Mpo ete nazangi pamela, okosunga ngai mpe okovandisa ngai na makolo na Yo mpo na libela.
And I in integrity my you have supported me and you have set me before you for ever.
13 Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, akumisama libela na libela!
[be] blessed Yahweh - [the] God of Israel from antiquity and until perpetuity amen - and amen.
