Banzembo 63
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Ayembaki yango tango azalaki kati na esobe ya Yuda. Oh Nzambe, ozali Nzambe na ngai; nazali koluka Yo, molimo na ngai ezali na posa na Yo, bomoi na ngai ezali na posa na Yo makasi, kati na mabele ekawuka mpe ezanga mayi.
A Psalme of David. When he was in the wildernesse of Judah. O God, thou art my God, earely will I seeke thee: my soule thirsteth for thee: my flesh longeth greatly after thee in a barren and drye land without water.
2 Natalaki Yo kati na Esika ya bule mpo na komona makasi mpe nkembo na Yo.
Thus I beholde thee as in the Sanctuarie, when I beholde thy power and thy glorie.
3 Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali malamu koleka bomoi, bibebu na ngai ekosanzola Yo.
For thy louing kindnesse is better then life: therefore my lippes shall prayse thee.
4 Boye, nakopambola Yo bomoi na ngai mobimba, nakotombola maboko na ngai mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
Thus will I magnifie thee all my life, and lift vp mine hands in thy name.
5 Nakotonda lokola moto oyo asili kolia misuni kitoko mpe mafuta; bibebu na ngai ekoganga na esengo mpe monoko na ngai ekokumisa Yo.
My soule shalbe satisfied, as with marowe and fatnesse, and my mouth shall praise thee with ioyfull lippes,
6 Soki nakanisi Yo na mbeto na ngai, nasambelaka Yo na butu;
When I remember thee on my bedde, and when I thinke vpon thee in the night watches.
7 pamba te ozali lisungi mpo na ngai, mpe nagangaka na esengo wana nazali na se ya elili ya mapapu na Yo.
Because thou hast bene mine helper, therefore vnder the shadow of thy wings wil I reioyce.
8 Nakangami na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali esimbi ngai makasi.
My soule cleaueth vnto thee: for thy right hand vpholdeth me.
9 Bato oyo balukaka koboma ngai bakozinda na mabele
Therefore they that seeke my soule to destroy it, they shall goe into the lowest partes of the earth.
10 Bakoboma bango na mopanga mpe bakokoma bilei ya bambwa ya zamba.
They shall cast him downe with the edge of the sword, and they shall be a portion for foxes.
11 Kasi mokonzi akosepela kati na Nzambe; moto nyonso oyo alapaka ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe akomikumisa mpo na yango, pamba te minoko ya bakosi ekokangama.
But the King shall reioyce in God, and all that sweare by him shall reioyce in him: for the mouth of them that speake lyes, shall be stopped.
