Banzembo 58
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na « Kobebisa te. » Nzembo ya Davidi. Ezali solo ete bolobaka te tango bokataka makambo? Boni, bana na moto, bosambisaka na bosembo?
To the choirmaster al-tashcheth of David a miktam. ¿ Really silence righteousness do you speak! uprightness do you judge? [the] children of humankind.
2 Te, ezala kati na mitema na bino, bosalaka mabongisi ezanga bosembo; botandaka kanza ya maboko na bino kati na mokili.
Also in [the] heart injustice you do! in the land [the] violence of hands your you weigh out!
3 Bato mabe babebaka wuta na mbotama na bango, bapengwaka mpe balobaka lokuta wuta na mabumu ya bamama na bango.
They turn aside wicked [people] from [the] womb they go astray from [the] belly [those who] speak falsehood.
4 Bazalaka na ngenge lokola ngenge ya nyoka, lokola ngenge ya etupa oyo eyokaka te, oyo ekangaka litoyi na yango,
Venom of them [is] like [the] likeness of [the] venom of a snake like a cobra deaf [which] it shuts ear its.
5 oyo eyokaka te ata mingongo ya bato na soloka mpe ya moto ya maji oyo aleki na mayele.
Which not it listens to [the] sound of charmers [one who] casts spells skillful.
6 Nzambe, buka minu na bango kati na minoko na bango; Yawe, buka bambanga ya bana ya bankosi.
O God break away teeth their in mouth their [the] teeth of young lions break off - O Yahweh.
7 Tika ete balimwa lokola mayi oyo ezali kotiola; Tika ete bambanzi na bango ebukana tango babetaka batolotolo.
May they flow like waters [which] they go about themselves may he bend (arrows his *Q(K)*) like let them be cut off.
8 Tika ete balimwa lokola soyi ya mbembe, lokola mwana oyo akomona moyi te mpo ete abimi na zemi oyo esopani.
Like a snail [which] melting away it goes a miscarriage of a woman [which] not they have seen [the] sun.
9 Liboso ete banzungu na bino ekutana na moto ya basende, ezala ya mayi to ya kokawuka, bato mabe akolimwa.
Before they will perceive pots your a thorn bush like alive like burning he will blow away it.
10 Moto ya sembo akosepela, pamba te akomona Nzambe kozongisela bato mabe, mabe na mabe, mpe akotambola kati na makila na bango.
He will rejoice [the] righteous if he has seen vengeance feet his he will bathe in [the] blood of the wicked.
11 Mpe bato bakoloba: « Solo, ezali na lifuti mpo na moto ya sembo; solo, ezali na Nzambe oyo asambisaka mokili. »
So he may say anyone surely fruit [belongs] to the righteous surely there [is] a God [who] judges on the earth.
