Banzembo 64
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe, yoka mongongo na ngai kati kolela na ngai, batela ngai mosika ya monguna oyo azali kopesa ngai somo.
For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.
2 Bomba ngai mosika ya mikano ya bato mabe, mosika ya makita ya bato ya misala mabe.
You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;
3 Bapelisaka lolemo na bango ndenge bapelisaka mopanga, babimisaka maloba ya bololo lokola makonga
who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;
4 mpo na kobwakela, na kobombama, moto oyo azangi pamela; babangaka te kobwakela ye yango na mbalakata.
to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.
5 Balendisanaka mpo na mabongisi mabe, bayokanaka kotia mitambo; balobaka: « Nani akomona yango? »
They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?
6 Basalaka mabongisi ya kosala bato mabe, balobaka: « Toselingwi na mabongisi na biso! » Makanisi mpe motema ya moto ezali mozindo makasi.
They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,
7 Kasi Nzambe akobwakela bango makonga na Ye na mbalakata; ekozwa mpe ekozokisa bango.
and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,
8 Maloba na bango moko ekobalukela bango mpe ekomema bango na libebi; mpe moto nyonso oyo akomona bango akoningisa moto.
and their tongues have set him at nothing, all that saw them were troubled;
9 Bato nyonso bakokoma kobanga, kopanza sango ya misala ya Nzambe mpe kososola makambo oyo asalaka.
and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.
10 Moto ya sembo akosepela mpe akomibomba kati na Yawe; bato nyonso oyo bazali na mitema alima bakomikumisa mpo na yango.
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
