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.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my Elohim: 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 the workers of 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, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O YHWH.
4 Nasali mabe ata moko te; kasi bango bazali kopota mbangu, bazali komibongisa. Lamuka mpo na koya kokutana na ngai, mpe tala.
They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
5 Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, Nzambe ya Isalaele, telema mpo na kopesa bikolo nyonso etumbu; koyokela bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe mawa te.
Thou therefore, O YHWH Elohim of hosts, the Elohim of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. (Selah)
6 Bazongaka na pokwa, bagangaka lokola bambwa mpe batambolaka zingazinga ya engumba.
They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and 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 belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?
8 Kasi Yo, Yawe, osekaka bango, otiolaka bikolo nyonso.
But thou, O YHWH, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.
9 Nzambe, ozali makasi na ngai, nakotalela Yo; ozali ebombamelo na ngai,
Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for Elohim is my defence.
10 Nzambe na ngai, oyo nalingaka. Nzambe ayaka kino liboso na ngai, atikaka ngai kotala banguna na ngai.
The Elohim of my mercy shall prevent me: Elohim shall let me see my desire upon 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, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O YHWH 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 sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
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 wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that Elohim ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. (Selah)
14 Bazongaka na pokwa, bagangaka lokola bambwa mpe batambolaka zingazinga ya engumba.
And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
15 Bayengaka-yengaka mpo na koluka bilei; soki batondi te, balekisaka butu na kolelalela.
Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.
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 of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been 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.
Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for Elohim is my defence, and the Elohim of my mercy.
