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.
To him that excelleth. Destroy not. A Psalme of David on Michtam. When Saul sent and they did watch the house to kill him. O my God, deliuer mee from mine enemies: defend me from them that rise vp against me.
2 Kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bato ya misala mabe, mpe bikisa ngai liboso ya basopi makila ya bato.
Deliuer me from the wicked doers, and saue me from the 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 loe, they haue layd waite for my soule: the mightie men are gathered against me, not for mine offence, nor for my sinne, O Lord.
4 Nasali mabe ata moko te; kasi bango bazali kopota mbangu, bazali komibongisa. Lamuka mpo na koya kokutana na ngai, mpe tala.
They runne and prepare themselues without a fault on my part: arise therefore to assist me, and beholde.
5 Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, Nzambe ya Isalaele, telema mpo na kopesa bikolo nyonso etumbu; koyokela bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe mawa te.
Euen thou, O Lord God of hostes, O God of Israel awake to visit all the heathen, and be not merciful vnto all that transgresse maliciously. (Selah)
6 Bazongaka na pokwa, bagangaka lokola bambwa mpe batambolaka zingazinga ya engumba.
They goe to and from in the euening: they barke like dogs, and goe about the citie.
7 Na nzela ya minoko na bango, babimisaka na bibebu na bango maloba oyo ezokisaka lokola mipanga; bamilobelaka: « Nani azali koyoka biso? »
Behold, they brag in their talke, and swords are in their lips: for, Who, say they, doeth heare?
8 Kasi Yo, Yawe, osekaka bango, otiolaka bikolo nyonso.
But thou, O Lord, shalt haue them in derision, and thou shalt laugh at all the heathen.
9 Nzambe, ozali makasi na ngai, nakotalela Yo; ozali ebombamelo na ngai,
He is strong: but I will waite vpon thee: for God is my defence.
10 Nzambe na ngai, oyo nalingaka. Nzambe ayaka kino liboso na ngai, atikaka ngai kotala banguna na ngai.
My mercifull God will preuent me: God wil let me see my desire vpon mine enemies.
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.
Slay them not, least my people forget it: but scatter them abroad by thy power, and put them downe, O Lord our shield,
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 sinne of their mouth, and the words of their lips: and let them be taken in their pride, euen for their periurie and lies, that they speake.
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.
Consume them in thy wrath: consume them that they be no more: and let them knowe that God ruleth in Iaakob, euen vnto the ends of the world. (Selah)
14 Bazongaka na pokwa, bagangaka lokola bambwa mpe batambolaka zingazinga ya engumba.
And in the euening they shall go to and from, and barke like dogs, and go about the citie.
15 Bayengaka-yengaka mpo na koluka bilei; soki batondi te, balekisaka butu na kolelalela.
They shall runne here and there for meate: and surely they shall not be satisfied, though they tary all night.
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 wil sing of thy power, and will prayse thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast bene my defence and 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.
Vnto thee, O my Strength, wil I sing: for God is my defence, and my mercifull God.
