Banzembo 71
1 Yawe, ozali ebombamelo na ngai; kondima te ete nayoka soni!
In thee, O Lord, I trust: let me neuer be ashamed.
2 Na bosembo na Yo, kangola mpe bikisa ngai. Yoka ngai mpe bikisa ngai.
Rescue mee and deliuer me in thy righteousnes: incline thine eare vnto me and saue me.
3 Zala mpo na ngai ekimelo ya libanga epai wapi nakoki kokende tango nyonso. Ozwaki mokano ya kobikisa ngai, pamba te ozali libanga mpe ndako na ngai batonga makasi.
Be thou my strong rocke, whereunto I may alway resort: thou hast giuen commandement to saue me: for thou art my rocke, and my fortresse.
4 Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bato mabe, na maboko ya batomboki mpe bato na kanza.
Deliuer mee, O my God, out of the hande of the wicked: out of the hande of the euill and cruell man.
5 Nkolo Yawe, ozali elikya na ngai; wuta bolenge na ngai, namipesaka na Yo.
For thou art mine hope, O Lord God, euen my trust from my youth.
6 Wuta mbotama na ngai, natalelaka Yo; Yo nde obimisaki ngai na libumu ya mama na ngai. Nakokumisa Yo tango nyonso.
Vpon thee haue I beene stayed from the wombe: thou art he that tooke me out of my mothers bowels: my praise shalbe alwaies of thee.
7 Nazali likamwisi mpo na bato ebele; ozali ebombamelo na ngai ya makasi.
I am become as it were a monster vnto many: but thou art my sure trust.
8 Tika ete monoko na ngai etonda na masanzoli mpo na lokumu na Yo; tika ete etatolaka tango nyonso kongenga ya nkembo na Yo.
Let my mouth be filled with thy praise, and with thy glory euery day.
9 Kobwaka ngai te awa nakomi mobange, kotika ngai te awa makasi na ngai ekomi kosila.
Cast mee not off in the time of age: forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 Pamba te banguna na ngai bazali koloba mabe na tina na ngai, mpe bato oyo balukaka koboma ngai basaleli ngai likita.
For mine enemies speake of mee, and they that lay waite for my soule, take their counsell together,
11 Bazali koloba: « Nzambe asundoli ye; bolanda ye, bokanga ye; moto oyo akokangola ye azali te! »
Saying, God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliuer him.
12 Oh Nzambe, kozala mosika na ngai te! Nzambe na ngai, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai.
Goe not farre from me, O God: my God, haste thee to helpe me.
13 Tika ete bato oyo bafundaka ngai bakufa soni mpe balimwa! Tika ete ba-oyo balukaka pasi na ngai basambwa mpe bayokisama soni!
Let them be confounded and consumed that are against my soule: let them be couered with reproofe and confusion, that seeke mine hurt.
14 Kasi ngai, nakozala na elikya tango nyonso mpe nakokoba kokumisa Yo.
But I will waite continually, and will praise thee more and more.
15 Monoko na ngai ekosakola tango nyonso misala ya bosembo mpe ya lobiko na Yo, pamba te nayebi motango na yango te.
My mouth shall daily rehearse thy righteousnesse, and thy saluation: for I knowe not the nomber.
16 Nkolo Yawe, nakoya epai na Yo mpe nakotatola misala na Yo ya nguya; nakotatola misala malamu ya bosembo na Yo, misala ya bosembo na Yo kaka.
I will goe forwarde in the strength of the Lord God, and will make mention of thy righteousnesse, euen of thine onely.
17 Nzambe, wuta bolenge na ngai, oteya ngai; mpe kino lelo, nazali kotatola bikamwa na Yo.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth euen vntill nowe: therefore will I tell of thy wonderous workes,
18 Ezala ndenge nakomi sik’oyo mobange mpe suki na ngai ekomi pembe, oh Nzambe na ngai, kotika ngai te, mpo ete natatola makasi na Yo epai ya bato ya ekeke oyo, mpe misala ya nguya na Yo epai ya bato nyonso oyo bakoya sima.
Yea, euen vnto mine olde age and graie head, O God: forsake me not, vntill I haue declared thine arme vnto this generation, and thy power to all them, that shall come.
19 Nzambe, bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na likolo, pamba te osalaka makambo minene. Oh Nzambe, nani akokani na Yo?
And thy righteousnes, O God, I wil exalt on high: for thou hast done great thinges: O God, who is like vnto thee!
20 Atako osalaki ete tokutana na pasi mingi mpe na makambo ya bololo, kasi okotika lisusu biso kozala na bomoi, okobimisa ngai lisusu wuta na mozindo ya mabele.
Which hast shewed me great troubles and aduersities, but thou wilt returne, and reuiue me, and wilt come againe, and take mee vp from the depth of the earth.
21 Okomatisa lisusu lokumu na ngai, mpe okobondisa ngai lisusu.
Thou wilt increase mine honour, and returne and comfort me.
22 Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo na lindanda mpo na boyengebene na Yo; Mosantu ya Isalaele, nakobeta lindanda mpo na lokumu na Yo.
Therefore will I praise thee for thy faithfulnesse, O God, vpon instrument and viole: vnto thee will I sing vpon the harpe, O Holy one of Israel.
23 Nakoganga na esengo tango nakoyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu na Yo, pamba te okangoli bomoi na ngai.
My lippes will reioyce when I sing vnto thee, and my soule, which thou hast deliuered.
24 Lolemo na ngai ekotatola tango nyonso misala ya bosembo na Yo, pamba te bato oyo balukaka pasi na ngai bayokisami soni mpe basambwe.
My tongue also shall talke of thy righteousnesse daily: for they are confounded and brought vnto shame, that seeke mine hurt.
