Banzembo 59
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na « Kobebisa te! » tango Saulo atindaki bato kozingela ndako ya Davidi mpo na koboma ye. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai; batela ngai liboso ya banyokoli na ngai.
Unto the end, destroy not, for David for an inscription of It title, when Saul sent and watched his house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bato ya misala mabe, mpe bikisa ngai liboso ya basopi makila ya bato.
Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
3 Yawe, bazali koluka koboma ngai; bato na nguya basaleli ngai likita, nzokande nasali mabe te, nasali na ngai mpe masumu te.
For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:
4 Nasali mabe ata moko te; kasi bango bazali kopota mbangu, bazali komibongisa. Lamuka mpo na koya kokutana na ngai, mpe tala.
Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.
5 Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, Nzambe ya Isalaele, telema mpo na kopesa bikolo nyonso etumbu; koyokela bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe mawa te.
Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.
6 Bazongaka na pokwa, bagangaka lokola bambwa mpe batambolaka zingazinga ya engumba.
They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
7 Na nzela ya minoko na bango, babimisaka na bibebu na bango maloba oyo ezokisaka lokola mipanga; bamilobelaka: « Nani azali koyoka biso? »
Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?
8 Kasi Yo, Yawe, osekaka bango, otiolaka bikolo nyonso.
But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.
9 Nzambe, ozali makasi na ngai, nakotalela Yo; ozali ebombamelo na ngai,
I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector:
10 Nzambe na ngai, oyo nalingaka. Nzambe ayaka kino liboso na ngai, atikaka ngai kotala banguna na ngai.
My God, his mercy shall prevent me.
11 Nkolo, nguba na biso, koboma bango te, noki te bato na ngai bakobosana. Na nguya na Yo, sala ete bayengayenga, mpe mema bango kino na se.
God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, lest at any time my people forget. Scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:
12 Mpo na masumu ya minoko na bango, mpo na maloba ya bibebu na bango, tika ete bakangama na motambo ya lolendo na bango. Mpo na bilakeli mabe mpe lokuta na bango,
For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride. And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of,
13 bebisa bango na kanda na Yo, bebisa bango kino bazala lisusu te. Bongo bakoyeba ete Nzambe azali kokonza kati na Jakobi kino na suka ya mokili.
When they are consumed: when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more. And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, and all the ends of the earth.
14 Bazongaka na pokwa, bagangaka lokola bambwa mpe batambolaka zingazinga ya engumba.
They shall return at evening and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
15 Bayengaka-yengaka mpo na koluka bilei; soki batondi te, balekisaka butu na kolelalela.
They shall be scattered abroad to eat, and shall murmur if they be not filled.
16 Kasi ngai nakoyembela makasi na Yo, nakobetela bolingo na Yo milolo, na tongo, pamba te ozali ebombamelo na ngai, mpe ekimelo na ngai na tango ya pasi.
But I will sing thy strength: and will extol thy mercy in the morning. For thou art become my support, and my refuge, in the day of my trouble.
17 Ozali makasi na ngai, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu na Yo; ozali ebombamelo na ngai, oh Nzambe; Nzambe na ngai, oyo nalingaka.
Unto thee, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: my God my mercy.
