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, corrupt not, a psalm of a canticle for Asaph. We will praise thee, O God: we will praise, and we will call upon thy name. We will relate thy wondrous works:
2 Olobaki: « Na tango oyo ngai moko nakobongisa, nakokata makambo na bosembo.
When I shall take a 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 is melted, and all that dwell therein: I have established the pillars thereof.
4 Nazali koloba na moto ya lofundu: « Kotombola lisusu mapeka te; » mpe na bato mabe: « Bosala lisusu lolendo te.
I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.
5 Bomeka lisusu te kosala lofundu mpe koloba na lolendo. »
Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity against God.
6 Botombwami ewutaka na Este te, na Weste te, ewutaka mpe na esobe te.
For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills:
7 Pamba te ezali Nzambe nde akataka makambo: akitisaka moto songolo mpe atombolaka moto pakala.
For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:
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 strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
9 Mpo na ngai, nakotatola makambo oyo tango nyonso, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe ya Jakobi,
But I will declare for ever: 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: but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
