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.

“To the chief musician on Neginoth upon Sheminith, a psalm of David.” O Lord, correct me not in thy anger, and chastise me not in thy wrath.

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

Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for I am withering away; heal me, O Lord; for my bones are terrified.

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

And my soul is greatly terrified; but thou, O Lord, how long yet—?

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

Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: help me for the sake of thy kindness.

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 men do not remember thee: in the nether world, 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 sighing; I flood every night my bed; With my tears I moisten my couch.

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

My eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all my assailants.

8 Bino nyonso oyo bosalaka mabe, bolongwa liboso na ngai, pamba te Yawe ayoki kolela na ngai.

Depart from me, all ye workers of wickedness; 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 will accept my prayer.

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

Ashamed and greatly terrified shall become all my enemies; they will turn round, and be made ashamed in a moment.
