< Banzembo 6 >

1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya basinga mwambe. Yawe, kopesa ngai etumbu te na kanda na Yo, kopesa ngai etumbu te na kanda makasi na Yo.
For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Yawe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazangi makasi. Yawe, bikisa ngai na bokono, pamba te mikuwa na ngai elembi.
Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah; for I am withered away: O Jehovah, heal me; for my bones are troubled.
3 Molimo na ngai ezali kotungisama makasi; bongo Yo, Yawe, kino tango nini?
My soul also is sore troubled: And thou, O Jehovah, how long?
4 Yawe, zongela ngai, mpe kokangola ngai, bikisa ngai, mpo na bolingo na Yo.
Return, O Jehovah, deliver my soul: Save me for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
5 Pamba te bakufi bakoki lisusu te kotatola Kombo na Yo te! Mpe kati na mboka ya bakufi, nani akoki kokumisa Yo? (Sheol h7585)
For in death there is no remembrance of thee: In Sheol who shall give thee thanks? (Sheol h7585)
6 Kolela elembisi ngai nzoto. Butu nyonso, nalelaka na mbeto na ngai, mpe napolisaka na mpinzoli, esika oyo nalalaka.
I am weary with my groaning; Every night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Miso na ngai ebebi mpo na mawa; ezali lisusu komona malamu te likolo ya banyokoli na ngai.
Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.
8 Bino nyonso oyo bosalaka mabe, bolongwa liboso na ngai, pamba te Yawe ayoki kolela na ngai.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For Jehovah hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 Yawe ayanoli mabondeli na ngai mpe ayambi losambo na ngai.
Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.
10 Banguna na ngai nyonso bakoyoka soni, mpe somo monene ekokanga bango; bakozonga na sima mpe bakoyoka mbala moko soni.
All mine enemies shall be put to shame and sore troubled: They shall turn back, they shall be put to shame suddenly.
