Banzembo 60
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na « Lisi ya litatoli. » Nzembo ya Davidi mpo na koteya bato. Ayembaki yango tango abundisaki bato ya Siri ya Mezopotami mpe bato ya Siri ya Tsoba, mpe tango Joabi azongaki, sima na ye kolonga bato nkoto zomi na mibale ya Edomi, na bitumba kati na Lubwaku ya Mungwa. Oh Nzambe, obwakaki mpe opanzaki biso, osilikaki penza. Sik’oyo, zongisa biso.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A Miktam of David for instruction. When he fought Aram-naharaim and Aram-zobah, and Joab returned and struck down 12,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. You have rejected us, O God; You have broken us; You have been angry; restore us!
2 Solo, oningisaki mabele mpe obukaki yango. Bamba madusu na yango, pamba te ekomi koningana.
You have shaken the land and torn it open. Heal its fractures, for it is quaking.
3 Omonisaki bato na Yo pasi makasi, omelisaki biso vino oyo elangwisaka.
You have shown Your people hardship; we are staggered from the wine You made us drink.
4 Opesaki na bato oyo batosaka Yo bendele mpo na koyebisa bango ete bakima liboso ya batolotolo ya banguna.
You have raised a banner for those who fear You, that they may flee the bow.
5 Mpo ete balingami na Yo bakangolama, bikisa na nguya ya loboko na Yo ya mobali, mpe yanola biso! Yanola ngai!
Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.
6 Nzambe alobaki kati na Esika na Ye ya bule: « Nakolonga! Nakokabola Sishemi mpe nakomeka molayi ya lubwaku ya Sukoti.
God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.
7 Galadi ezali ya ngai, Manase mpe ezali ya ngai; Efrayimi ezali ekoti na ngai ya ebende, mpe Yuda ezali lingenda na ngai ya bokonzi.
Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.
8 Moabi ezali sani monene oyo nasukolelaka, Edomi ezali esika oyo nabwakaka sandale na ngai. Mpo na Filisitia, nabetaka milolo ya elonga. »
Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”
9 Nani akomema ngai kino na engumba oyo batonga makasi? Nani akotambolisa ngai kino na Edomi?
Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?
10 Ezali Yo te, Nzambe oyo obwakaki biso, Nzambe oyo ozalaki lisusu te kokende bitumba elongo na mampinga na biso?
Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?
11 Yaka kosunga biso, kangola biso liboso ya moyini; pamba te lisungi ya bato ezali pamba.
Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.
12 Nzokande, elongo na Nzambe, tokosala makambo minene mpe ya kokamwa; ezali Ye nde akonyata banguna na biso.
With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
