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 OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS, ON THE EIGHTH. A PSALM OF DAVID. O YHWH, do not reprove me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your fury.

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

Favor me, O YHWH, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O YHWH, For my bones have been troubled,

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

And my soul has been troubled greatly, And You, O YHWH, until when?

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

Turn back, O YHWH, draw out my soul, Save me for Your kindness’ 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 memorial of You, In Sheol, who gives thanks to You? (Sheol h7585)

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

I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate [on] my bed through all the night, I dissolve my couch with my tear.

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

My eye is old from provocation, It is old because of all my adversaries,

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

Turn from me all you workers of iniquity, For YHWH heard the voice of my weeping,

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

YHWH has heard my supplication, YHWH receives my prayer.

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

All my enemies are greatly ashamed and troubled, They turn back—ashamed [in] a moment!
