Banzembo 62
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi, kolanda Yedutuni. Nzembo ya Davidi. Solo, nazwaka kimia kati na Nzambe; lobiko na ngai ewutaka epai na Ye.
To the chief music-maker. After Jeduthun. A Psalm. Of David. My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my salvation.
2 Solo, azali libanga mpe lobiko na ngai; azali ebombamelo na ngai, nakoningana te.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
3 Kino tango nini bokosangela moto moko? Kino tango nini bino nyonso bokosangana mpo na koluka koboma ye lokola mir oyo etengami, lokola lopango oyo esili kokweya?
How long will you go on designing evil against a man? running against him as against a broken wall, which is on the point of falling?
4 Solo, basalaka makita mpo na kokweyisa ye wuta na esika na ye ya likolo, basepelaka kotatola lokuta. Bapambolaka na nzela ya minoko na bango; kasi kati na mitema na bango, balakelaka mabe.
Their only thought is to put him down from his place of honour; their delight is in deceit: blessing is in their mouths but cursing in their hearts. (Selah)
5 Oh molimo na ngai, zwa bopemi kati na Nzambe, pamba te elikya na ngai ewutaka epai na Ye.
My soul, put all your faith in God; for from him comes my hope.
6 Solo, azali libanga mpe lobiko na ngai; azali ebombamelo na ngai, nakoningana te.
He only is my Rock and my salvation; he is my high tower; I will not be greatly moved.
7 Nzambe azali lobiko mpe nkembo na ngai; libanga ya makasi na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai ezali kati na Nzambe.
In God is my salvation, and my glory; the Rock of my strength, and my safe place.
8 Botielaka Ye elikya tango nyonso, bosopaka mitema na bino liboso na Ye, pamba te Nzambe azali ebombamelo mpo na biso.
Have faith in him at all times, you people; let your hearts go flowing out before him: God is our safe place. (Selah)
9 Solo, bato bazali lokola molunge, bazali lokola lokuta; Soki batie bango na emekelo kilo, ata molunge ekoleka bango nyonso na kilo.
Truly men of low birth are nothing, and men of high position are not what they seem; if they are put in the scales together they are less than a breath.
10 Botiaka elikya te na mileki ya moyibi, mpe botielaka yango motema te; soki bomengo na bino ekomi ebele, bokangama na yango te.
Have no faith in the rewards of evil-doing, or in profits wrongly made: if your wealth is increased, do not put your hopes on it.
11 Nzambe alobaki mbala moko, ngai nayokaki mbala mibale: « Pamba te makasi ezali ya Nzambe;
Once has God said, twice has it come to my ears, that power is God's:
12 mpe bolingo ezali ya Nkolo; » mpe « ofutaka moto nyonso kolanda misala na ye. »
And mercy, O Lord, is yours, for you give to every man the reward of his work.
