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 wind instruments. A psalm of David. Listen to my call to you, Yahweh; think about my groanings.
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 sound of my call, my King and my God, for it is to you that I pray.
3 Yawe, na tongo, oyokaka mongongo na ngai; na tongo, nabelemaka mpo na kosenga epai na Yo mpe nazelaka.
Yahweh, in the morning you hear my cry; in the morning I will bring my petition to you and wait expectantly.
4 Pamba te ozali Nzambe te oyo asepelaka na mabe, mpe moto mabe akoki kutu te kovanda elongo na Yo.
Certainly you are not a God who approves of evil; evil people will not be your guests.
5 Bato ya lolendo bakoki te kotelema liboso na Yo. Oyinaka bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe.
The arrogant will not stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.
6 Obomaka bato oyo balobaka lokuta. Yo, Yawe, oyinaka babomi mpe bakosi.
You will destroy liars; Yahweh despises violent and deceitful men.
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, because of your great covenant faithfulness, I will come into your house; in reverence I will bow down toward your holy temple.
8 Yawe, tambolisa ngai na bosembo na Yo, pamba te nazali na banguna; bongisa nzela oyo olingi ete natambola na yango.
Oh Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your path 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 no truth in their mouth; their inward being is wicked; their throat is an open tomb; 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.
Declare them guilty, God; may their schemes be their downfall! Drive them out for their many 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 may all those who take refuge in you rejoice; let them always shout for joy because you defend them; let them be joyful in you, those who love your name.
12 Oh Yawe, solo, opambolaka bato ya sembo mpe ozingelaka bango na nzela ya ngolu na Yo lokola na nzela ya nguba.
For you will bless the righteous, Yahweh; you will surround them with favor as with a shield.
