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.
For the leader. On jeduthun. A psalm of David. I wait alone in silence for God; From him comes my help.
2 Solo, azali libanga mpe lobiko na ngai; azali ebombamelo na ngai, nakoningana te.
Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely.
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, all of you, batter a man, as one might a leaning wall?
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.
From his height they are planning to topple him. They take pleasure in falsehood; they bless with their mouth, but inwardly they curse. (Selah)
5 Oh molimo na ngai, zwa bopemi kati na Nzambe, pamba te elikya na ngai ewutaka epai na Ye.
I wait alone in silence for God; for from him comes my hope.
6 Solo, azali libanga mpe lobiko na ngai; azali ebombamelo na ngai, nakoningana te.
Yes, he is my rock, my help, my retreat, I shall not be shaken too sorely.
7 Nzambe azali lobiko mpe nkembo na ngai; libanga ya makasi na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai ezali kati na Nzambe.
On God rests my honor and safety, in God is my strong rock, my refuge.
8 Botielaka Ye elikya tango nyonso, bosopaka mitema na bino liboso na Ye, pamba te Nzambe azali ebombamelo mpo na biso.
Trust in him, all you people assembled, pour out your heart in his presence; God is a refuge 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.
The lowly are nought but a breath, the lofty are but an illusion: in the balances up they go, they are lighter than breath altogether.
10 Botiaka elikya te na mileki ya moyibi, mpe botielaka yango motema te; soki bomengo na bino ekomi ebele, bokangama na yango te.
Trust not in gain of extortion, set no vain hopes in robbery. As for wealth, if it bears fruit, set not your heart upon it.
11 Nzambe alobaki mbala moko, ngai nayokaki mbala mibale: « Pamba te makasi ezali ya Nzambe;
One thing God has uttered, two things there are which I heard that power belongs to God,
12 mpe bolingo ezali ya Nkolo; » mpe « ofutaka moto nyonso kolanda misala na ye. »
and to you, too, O Lord, belongs kindness; for you requite each person according to what they have done.
