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 psalm of David when was he in [the] wilderness of Judah. O God - [are] God my you I am seeking earnestly you it is thirsty for you - self my it longs for you flesh my in a land dry and weary not water.
2 Natalaki Yo kati na Esika ya bule mpo na komona makasi mpe nkembo na Yo.
Thus in the sanctuary I have seen you to see strength your and glory your.
3 Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali malamu koleka bomoi, bibebu na ngai ekosanzola Yo.
For [is] good covenant loyalty your more than life lips my they will extol you.
4 Boye, nakopambola Yo bomoi na ngai mobimba, nakotombola maboko na ngai mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
Thus I will bless you in life my in name your I will lift up hands my.
5 Nakotonda lokola moto oyo asili kolia misuni kitoko mpe mafuta; bibebu na ngai ekoganga na esengo mpe monoko na ngai ekokumisa Yo.
Like fat and fatness it will be satisfied self my and lips of cries of joy it will praise [you] mouth my.
6 Soki nakanisi Yo na mbeto na ngai, nasambelaka Yo na butu;
If I have remembered you on beds my in [the] night-watches I meditate on you.
7 pamba te ozali lisungi mpo na ngai, mpe nagangaka na esengo wana nazali na se ya elili ya mapapu na Yo.
For you are a help of me and in [the] shadow of wings your I shout for joy.
8 Nakangami na Yo; loboko na Yo ya mobali esimbi ngai makasi.
It clings self my after you me it supports right [hand] your.
9 Bato oyo balukaka koboma ngai bakozinda na mabele
And they to destruction they are seeking life my they will go in [the] lower parts of the earth.
10 Bakoboma bango na mopanga mpe bakokoma bilei ya bambwa ya zamba.
People will pour him over [the] hands of [the] sword [the] portion of foxes they will be.
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.
And the king he will rejoice in God he will boast every [one who] swears an oath by him for it will be shut up [the] mouth of [those who] speak falsehood.
