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.
To the chief Musician upon Shushan-eduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
2 Solo, oningisaki mabele mpe obukaki yango. Bamba madusu na yango, pamba te ekomi koningana.
Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal its breaches; for it shaketh.
3 Omonisaki bato na Yo pasi makasi, omelisaki biso vino oyo elangwisaka.
Thou hast shown thy people hard things: thou hast 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.
Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, 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 thy beloved may be delivered; save [with] thy 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 hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and measure 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 washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou 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?
[Wilt] thou not, O God, [who] hadst cast us off? and [thou], O God, [who] didst 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 will tread down our enemies.
