Banzembo 53

1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na flite. Bazoba bamilobelaka: « Nzambe azali te. » Makanisi na bango esila kobeba, basalaka makambo mabe mpe ya nkele; moko te asalaka bolamu.

To him that excelleth on Mahalath. A Psalme of David to give instruction. The foole hath saide in his heart, There is no God. they haue corrupted and done abominable wickednes: there is none that doeth good.

2 Wuta na likolo, Nzambe atalaka bato mpo na koluka koyeba soki ezali ata na moko ya mayele, oyo atalelaka Nzambe.

God looked downe from heauen vpon the children of men, to see if there were any that would vnderstand, and seeke God.

3 Bango nyonso bazali batomboki, bango nyonso bamibebisa; moko te asalaka bolamu, ata moto moko te.

Euery one is gone backe: they are altogether corrupt: there is none that doth good, no not one.

4 Boni, bato nyonso ya misala mabe bayebi eloko te? Baliaka bato na ngai ndenge baliaka lipa mpe batikala nanu kobelela Nzambe te, bazali penza kososola eloko moko te?

Doe not the workers of iniquitie knowe that they eate vp my people as they eate bread? they call not vpon God.

5 Somo monene ekokanga bango na esika oyo ezali ata na eloko moko te oyo ekoki kopesa bango somo, pamba te Nzambe apanzi mikuwa ya bato oyo bayei kobundisa yo. Okoyokisa bango soni, pamba te Nzambe abwaka bango.

There they were afraide for feare, where no feare was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that besieged thee: thou hast put them to confusion, because God hath cast them off.

6 Tika ete lobiko ya Isalaele ebimela na Siona! Tango Nzambe akobimisa bato na Ye na bowumbu, bakitani ya Jakobi bakosepela, mpe Isalaele ekozala na esengo.

Oh giue saluation vnto Israel out of Zion: when God turneth the captiuitie of his people, then Iaakob shall reioyce, and Israel shalbe glad.
