Banzembo 5
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na flite. Oh Yawe, yoka maloba na ngai, sosola tina ya kolelalela na ngai.
Unto the end, for her that obtaineth the inheritance. A psalm of David. Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
2 Mokonzi na ngai mpe Nzambe na ngai, yoka koganga na ngai wana nazali kosenga lisungi, pamba te nazali kobondela nde Yo.
Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
3 Yawe, na tongo, oyokaka mongongo na ngai; na tongo, nabelemaka mpo na kosenga epai na Yo mpe nazelaka.
For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
4 Pamba te ozali Nzambe te oyo asepelaka na mabe, mpe moto mabe akoki kutu te kovanda elongo na Yo.
In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5 Bato ya lolendo bakoki te kotelema liboso na Yo. Oyinaka bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe.
Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
6 Obomaka bato oyo balobaka lokuta. Yo, Yawe, oyinaka babomi mpe bakosi.
Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie. The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
7 Kasi mpo ete bolingo na Yo eleki monene, nakoki kokota kati na Ndako na Yo, nakoki kofukama mpo na botosi epai ya Tempelo na Yo ya bule.
But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy, I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
8 Yawe, tambolisa ngai na bosembo na Yo, pamba te nazali na banguna; bongisa nzela oyo olingi ete natambola na yango.
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
9 Minoko na bango elobaka kaka lokuta, mitema na bango etondi na mabe. Minoko na bango ezali lokola bakunda ya kofungwama, mpe bakosaka na nzela ya lolemo na bango.
For there is no truth in their mouth; their heart is vain.
10 Oh Nzambe, katela bango etumbu. Tika ete mabongisi na bango ebotela bango libebi. Bengana bango mpo na ebele ya masumu na bango, pamba te batombokeli nde Yo.
Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God. Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickedness cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
11 Kasi tika ete bato nyonso oyo bazwaka Yo lokola ebombamelo na bango bazalaka na esengo tango nyonso, tika ete bayembaka mpo na esengo, bomoi na bango mobimba. Batela bango mpo ete bato oyo balingaka Kombo na Yo basepelaka kati na Yo.
But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them. And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee:
12 Oh Yawe, solo, opambolaka bato ya sembo mpe ozingelaka bango na nzela ya ngolu na Yo lokola na nzela ya nguba.
For thou wilt bless the just. O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
