Banzembo 70

1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi mpo na kokanisa misala ya Nzambe. Nzambe, yaka noki mpo na kangola ngai! Yawe, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai!

Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Yhwh.

2 Tika ete bato oyo balukaka kufa na ngai bakufa soni mpe basambwa! Tika ete bato oyo bazelaka libebi na ngai bazonga sima mpe bayokisama soni!

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

3 Tika ete bato oyo balobaka na ngai: « Ah! Ah! » bazonga mpo na soni!

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

4 Tika ete bato nyonso oyo balukaka Yo batonda na esengo mpe basepela kati na Yo! Tika ete ba-oyo balingaka lobiko na Yo balobaka tango nyonso: « Nzambe azali monene! »

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 Mpo ete nazali mobola mpe moto akelela, Nzambe, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai. Yawe, ozali Lisungi mpe Mokangoli na ngai, kowumela te!

But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Yhwh, make no tarrying.
