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.
[For the Chief Musician, with the flutes. A Psalm by David.] Listen to my words, LORD. Consider my (meditation)
2 Mokonzi na ngai mpe Nzambe na ngai, yoka koganga na ngai wana nazali kosenga lisungi, pamba te nazali kobondela nde Yo.
Give attention to the voice of my cry, my King and my God; for to you do I pray.
3 Yawe, na tongo, oyokaka mongongo na ngai; na tongo, nabelemaka mpo na kosenga epai na Yo mpe nazelaka.
LORD, in the morning you shall hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and watch.
4 Pamba te ozali Nzambe te oyo asepelaka na mabe, mpe moto mabe akoki kutu te kovanda elongo na Yo.
For you are not a God who desires wickedness. Evil can't live with you.
5 Bato ya lolendo bakoki te kotelema liboso na Yo. Oyinaka bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe.
The arrogant shall not stand in your sight. You hate all evildoers.
6 Obomaka bato oyo balobaka lokuta. Yo, Yawe, oyinaka babomi mpe bakosi.
You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD despises a person of bloodshed and deceit.
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 abundance of your loving kindness I will enter into your house. I will bow toward your holy temple in reverence of you.
8 Yawe, tambolisa ngai na bosembo na Yo, pamba te nazali na banguna; bongisa nzela oyo olingi ete natambola na yango.
Lead me, LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies. Make your way straight before me.
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 nothing reliable in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they flatter.
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.
Hold them guilty, God. Let them fall by their own counsels. Cast them out because of the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against you.
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 those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. And let those who love your name be joyful in you.
12 Oh Yawe, solo, opambolaka bato ya sembo mpe ozingelaka bango na nzela ya ngolu na Yo lokola na nzela ya nguba.
For you bless the righteous, LORD. You surround him with favor like a shield.
