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 musician, upon Jeduthun, a psalm of David.” Only in God my soul trusted in silence: from him cometh my salvation.
2 Solo, azali libanga mpe lobiko na ngai; azali ebombamelo na ngai, nakoningana te.
Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defense: I shall 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 ye devise mischief against a man? will ye all assault him murderously, as though he were a falling wall, a tottering fence?
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.
Yea, from his height do they take counsel to cast [him] down; they delight in lies: with their mouth do they bless, but inwardly do they curse. (Selah)
5 Oh molimo na ngai, zwa bopemi kati na Nzambe, pamba te elikya na ngai ewutaka epai na Ye.
Yea, in God hope in silence, my soul; for from him is my expectation.
6 Solo, azali libanga mpe lobiko na ngai; azali ebombamelo na ngai, nakoningana te.
Only he is my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence: I shall not be moved.
7 Nzambe azali lobiko mpe nkembo na ngai; libanga ya makasi na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai ezali kati na Nzambe.
With God are my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength [and] my protection are in God.
8 Botielaka Ye elikya tango nyonso, bosopaka mitema na bino liboso na Ye, pamba te Nzambe azali ebombamelo mpo na biso.
Trust in him at all times, O ye people; pour out before him your heart: God is a protection for us. (Selah)
9 Solo, bato bazali lokola molunge, bazali lokola lokuta; Soki batie bango na emekelo kilo, ata molunge ekoleka bango nyonso na kilo.
Verily nought are the sons of common men, a lie the sons of the great; they must rise in the balance; they are altogether [lighter] than nought.
10 Botiaka elikya te na mileki ya moyibi, mpe botielaka yango motema te; soki bomengo na bino ekomi ebele, bokangama na yango te.
Do not put your trust in defrauding, and be not rendered vain through robbery: if riches flourish, set not your heart [upon them].
11 Nzambe alobaki mbala moko, ngai nayokaki mbala mibale: « Pamba te makasi ezali ya Nzambe;
Once hath God spoken; [yea, ] twice [what] I have heard: that strength belongeth unto God.
12 mpe bolingo ezali ya Nkolo; » mpe « ofutaka moto nyonso kolanda misala na ye. »
And unto thee, O Lord, belongeth kindness; for thou wilt recompense every man according to his works.
