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 chief musician. A psalm of David. Hear my voice, God, listen to my complaint; preserve my life from fear of my enemies.
2 Bomba ngai mosika ya mikano ya bato mabe, mosika ya makita ya bato ya misala mabe.
Hide me from the secret plotting of evildoers, from the commotion of the doers of iniquity.
3 Bapelisaka lolemo na bango ndenge bapelisaka mopanga, babimisaka maloba ya bololo lokola makonga
They have sharpened their tongues like swords; they have aimed their arrows, bitter words,
4 mpo na kobwakela, na kobombama, moto oyo azangi pamela; babangaka te kobwakela ye yango na mbalakata.
so that they may shoot from secret places at someone who is innocent; suddenly they shoot at him and fear nothing.
5 Balendisanaka mpo na mabongisi mabe, bayokanaka kotia mitambo; balobaka: « Nani akomona yango? »
They encourage themselves in an evil plan; they consult privately together in order to set traps; they say, “Who will see us?”
6 Basalaka mabongisi ya kosala bato mabe, balobaka: « Toselingwi na mabongisi na biso! » Makanisi mpe motema ya moto ezali mozindo makasi.
They invent sinful plans; “We have finished,” they say, “a careful plan.” The inner thoughts and hearts of man are deep.
7 Kasi Nzambe akobwakela bango makonga na Ye na mbalakata; ekozwa mpe ekozokisa bango.
But God will shoot them; suddenly they will be wounded with his arrows.
8 Maloba na bango moko ekobalukela bango mpe ekomema bango na libebi; mpe moto nyonso oyo akomona bango akoningisa moto.
They will be made to stumble, since their own tongues are against them; all who see them will wag their heads.
9 Bato nyonso bakokoma kobanga, kopanza sango ya misala ya Nzambe mpe kososola makambo oyo asalaka.
All people will fear and will declare God's deeds. They will wisely think about what he has done.
10 Moto ya sembo akosepela mpe akomibomba kati na Yawe; bato nyonso oyo bazali na mitema alima bakomikumisa mpo na yango.
The righteous will be glad about Yahweh and will take refuge in him; all the upright in heart will take pride in him.
