Banzembo 75
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya koyemba lokola « Koboma te! » Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe, tozali kosanzola Yo, tozali kosanzola Kombo na Yo; mpo ete Kombo na Yo ezali pene, bato bazali kotatola bikamwa na Yo.
Unto the end. May you not be corrupted. A Canticle Psalm of Asaph. We will confess to you, O God. We will confess, and we will call upon your name. We will describe your wonders.
2 Olobaki: « Na tango oyo ngai moko nakobongisa, nakokata makambo na bosembo.
While I have time, I will judge justices.
3 Mokili ekoki kolenga elongo na bavandi na yango nyonso, kasi ezali ngai nde nalendisaka makonzi na yango. »
The earth has been dissolved, with all who dwell in it. I have confirmed its pillars.
4 Nazali koloba na moto ya lofundu: « Kotombola lisusu mapeka te; » mpe na bato mabe: « Bosala lisusu lolendo te.
I said to the iniquitous: “Do not act unjustly,” and to the offenders: “Do not exalt the horn.”
5 Bomeka lisusu te kosala lofundu mpe koloba na lolendo. »
Do not exalt your horn on high. Do not speak iniquity against God.
6 Botombwami ewutaka na Este te, na Weste te, ewutaka mpe na esobe te.
For it is neither from the east, nor from the west, nor before the desert mountains.
7 Pamba te ezali Nzambe nde akataka makambo: akitisaka moto songolo mpe atombolaka moto pakala.
For God is judge. This one he humbles and that one he exalts.
8 Loboko na Yawe esimbi kopo oyo etondi na vino ya makasi mpe ya bololo. Azali kosopa yango, mpe bato mabe nyonso ya mokili bazali komeka mpe komela yango kino na mbindo oyo etikalaka na se ya kopo.
For, in the hand of the Lord, there is a cup of undiluted wine, full of consternation. And he has tipped it from here to there. So, truly, its dregs have not been emptied. All the sinners of the earth will drink.
9 Mpo na ngai, nakotatola makambo oyo tango nyonso, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe ya Jakobi,
But I will announce it in every age. I will sing to the God of Jacob.
10 oyo azali koloba: « Nakosilisa makasi nyonso ya bato mabe; kasi nguya ya bato ya sembo ekomata lisusu makasi. »
And I will break all the horns of sinners. And the horns of the just will be exalted.
