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.

Unto the end, in verses, a psalm for David, for the octave. O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.

2 Yawe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazangi makasi. Yawe, bikisa ngai na bokono, pamba te mikuwa na ngai elembi.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

3 Molimo na ngai ezali kotungisama makasi; bongo Yo, Yawe, kino tango nini?

And my soul is troubled exceedingly: but thou, O Lord, how long?

4 Yawe, zongela ngai, mpe kokangola ngai, bikisa ngai, mpo na bolingo na Yo.

Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: O save me for thy mercy’s 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 there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: and who shall confess to thee in hell? (Sheol h7585)

6 Kolela elembisi ngai nzoto. Butu nyonso, nalelaka na mbeto na ngai, mpe napolisaka na mpinzoli, esika oyo nalalaka.

I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.

7 Miso na ngai ebebi mpo na mawa; ezali lisusu komona malamu te likolo ya banyokoli na ngai.

My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.

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 the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.

9 Yawe ayanoli mabondeli na ngai mpe ayambi losambo na ngai.

The Lord hath heard my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

10 Banguna na ngai nyonso bakoyoka soni, mpe somo monene ekokanga bango; bakozonga na sima mpe bakoyoka mbala moko soni.

Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
