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.
O God, you have cast us off, you have scattered us, you have been displeased; O turn yourself to us again.
2 Solo, oningisaki mabele mpe obukaki yango. Bamba madusu na yango, pamba te ekomi koningana.
You have made the earth to tremble; you have broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shakes.
3 Omonisaki bato na Yo pasi makasi, omelisaki biso vino oyo elangwisaka.
You have showed your people hard things: you have made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
4 Opesaki na bato oyo batosaka Yo bendele mpo na koyebisa bango ete bakima liboso ya batolotolo ya banguna.
You have given a banner to them that fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth. (Selah)
5 Mpo ete balingami na Yo bakangolama, bikisa na nguya ya loboko na Yo ya mobali, mpe yanola biso! Yanola ngai!
That your beloved may be delivered; save with your right hand, and hear me.
6 Nzambe alobaki kati na Esika na Ye ya bule: « Nakolonga! Nakokabola Sishemi mpe nakomeka molayi ya lubwaku ya Sukoti.
God has spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out 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 also is the strength of my head; Judah is my lawgiver;
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 wash pot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph you because of me.
9 Nani akomema ngai kino na engumba oyo batonga makasi? Nani akotambolisa ngai kino na Edomi?
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10 Ezali Yo te, Nzambe oyo obwakaki biso, Nzambe oyo ozalaki lisusu te kokende bitumba elongo na mampinga na biso?
Will not you, O God, which had cast us off? and you, O God, which did not go out with our armies?
11 Yaka kosunga biso, kangola biso liboso ya moyini; pamba te lisungi ya bato ezali pamba.
Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 Nzokande, elongo na Nzambe, tokosala makambo minene mpe ya kokamwa; ezali Ye nde akonyata banguna na biso.
Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
