Banzembo 52
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki tango Doegi, moto ya Edomi, akendeki koyebisa Saulo ete Davidi akoti na ndako ya Ayimeleki. Yo elombe, mpo na nini ozali komikumisa na tina na mabe? Bolingo ya Nzambe emonanaka mikolo nyonso.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid to giue instruction. When Doeg the Edomite came and shewed Saul, and saide to him, Dauid is come to the house of Abimelech. Why boastest thou thy selfe in thy wickednesse, O man of power? the louing kindenesse of God indureth dayly.
2 Yo oyo otambolaka na lokuta, lolemo na yo esalaka mabongisi ya libebi, ekosaka lokola mbeli bapelisa malamu.
Thy tongue imagineth mischiefe, and is like a sharpe rasor, that cutteth deceitfully.
3 Olingaka mabe koleka bolamu, lokuta koleka koloba bosolo.
Thou doest loue euill more then good, and lies more then to speake the trueth. (Selah)
4 Oh lolemo ya lokuta, olingaka maloba nyonso oyo epanzaka.
Thou louest all wordes that may destroye, O deceitfull tongue!
5 Solo, Ye moko Nzambe akobebisa yo mpo na libela, akokanga yo kati na ndako na yo, akobwaka yo libanda mpe akopikola yo na mokili ya bato ya bomoi.
So shall God destroy thee for euer: he shall take thee and plucke thee out of thy tabernacle, and roote thee out of ye land of the liuing. (Selah)
6 Bato ya sembo bakomona mpe bakokoma na somo, bakotiola ye na maloba oyo:
The righteous also shall see it, and feare, and shall laugh at him, saying,
7 « Tala moto oyo azalaki te kozwa Nzambe lokola ebombamelo na ye, azalaki kotiela bozwi na ye motema, mpe kobakisa makasi na ye na nzela ya kobebisa bato mosusu. »
Beholde the man that tooke not God for his strength, but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and put his strength in his malice.
8 Kasi ngai, kati na Ndako na Yo, nazali lokola nzete ya olive oyo etondi na makasa ya mobesu; natiaka tango nyonso elikya na ngai kati na bolingo monene ya Nzambe, mpo na libela.
But I shall bee like a greene oliue tree in the house of God: for I trusted in the mercie of God for euer and euer.
9 Nakosanzola Yo mikolo nyonso, mpo na oyo osali; mpe nazalaka na elikya kati na Kombo na Yo, pamba te ozali malamu mpo na bayengebene na Yo.
I will alway praise thee, for that thou hast done this, and I will hope in thy Name, because it is good before thy Saints.
