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.
For the end, Destroy not, a Psalm of a Song for Asaph. We will give thanks to you, O God, we will give thanks, and call upon your name: I will declare all your wonderful works.
2 Olobaki: « Na tango oyo ngai moko nakobongisa, nakokata makambo na bosembo.
When I shall take a set time, I will judge righteously.
3 Mokili ekoki kolenga elongo na bavandi na yango nyonso, kasi ezali ngai nde nalendisaka makonzi na yango. »
The earth is dissolved, and all that dwell in it: I have strengthened its pillars. (Pause)
4 Nazali koloba na moto ya lofundu: « Kotombola lisusu mapeka te; » mpe na bato mabe: « Bosala lisusu lolendo te.
I said to the transgressors, Do not transgress; 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 unrighteousness against God.
6 Botombwami ewutaka na Este te, na Weste te, ewutaka mpe na esobe te.
For [good comes] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains.
7 Pamba te ezali Nzambe nde akataka makambo: akitisaka moto songolo mpe atombolaka moto pakala.
For God is the judge; he puts down one, and raises up another.
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 [there is] a cup in the hand of the Lord, full of unmingled wine; and he has turned [it] from side to side, but its dregs have not been wholly poured out; all the sinners of the earth shall drink [them].
9 Mpo na ngai, nakotatola makambo oyo tango nyonso, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe ya Jakobi,
But I will exult for ever: I will sing praises 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 righteous one shall be exalted.
