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 leader of the music; to be accompanied with wind instruments. A psalm of David.” Give ear to my words, O LORD; Have regard to my cry!
2 Mokonzi na ngai mpe Nzambe na ngai, yoka koganga na ngai wana nazali kosenga lisungi, pamba te nazali kobondela nde Yo.
Listen to the voice of my supplication, my King and my God! For to thee do I address my prayer.
3 Yawe, na tongo, oyokaka mongongo na ngai; na tongo, nabelemaka mpo na kosenga epai na Yo mpe nazelaka.
In the morning shalt thou hear my voice, O LORD! In the morning will I address my prayer to thee, and look for help.
4 Pamba te ozali Nzambe te oyo asepelaka na mabe, mpe moto mabe akoki kutu te kovanda elongo na Yo.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness; The unrighteous man dwelleth not with thee.
5 Bato ya lolendo bakoki te kotelema liboso na Yo. Oyinaka bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe.
The haughty shall not stand in thy sight; Thou hatest all that do iniquity.
6 Obomaka bato oyo balobaka lokuta. Yo, Yawe, oyinaka babomi mpe bakosi.
Thou destroyest them that speak falsehood; The man of blood and deceit the LORD abhorreth.
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 I, through thy great goodness, will come to thy house; In thy fear will I worship at thy holy temple.
8 Yawe, tambolisa ngai na bosembo na Yo, pamba te nazali na banguna; bongisa nzela oyo olingi ete natambola na yango.
Lead me, O LORD! in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies; Make thy path straight before my face!
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 in their mouth there is no truth; Their heart is malignity; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.
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.
Requite them, O God! Let them be confounded in their devices; Cast them out for the multitude of their transgressions; For against thee have they rebelled!
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, that put their trust in thee, rejoice; Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them; Let them, that love thy name, be joyful 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, O LORD! dost bless the righteous; With favor dost thou encompass him, as with a shield.
