Banzembo 81
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Azafi. Ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Boganga na esengo epai ya Nzambe, makasi na biso! Bobetela Nzambe ya Jakobi maboko!
To him that excelleth upon Gittith. A Psalme committed to Asaph. Sing ioyfully vnto God our strength: sing loude vnto the God of Iaakob.
2 Boyemba banzembo, bobeta bambunda mike, lindanda oyo ebimisaka lokito kitoko mpe nzenze!
Take the song and bring forth the timbrel, the pleasant harpe with the viole.
3 Bobeta kelelo na ebandeli ya sanza, na tango oyo sanza mobimba engengaka, mpo na mokolo ya feti na biso!
Blowe the trumpet in the newe moone, euen in the time appointed, at our feast day.
4 Pamba te ezali mobeko mpo na Isalaele, mpe mokano ya Nzambe ya Jakobi.
For this is a statute for Israel, and a Law of the God of Iaakob.
5 Atiaki yango lokola mobeko mpo na Jozefi tango abundisaki Ejipito. Nazali koyoka lokota oyo nayebi te:
Hee set this in Ioseph for a testimonie, when hee came out of the land of Egypt, where I heard a language, that I vnderstoode not.
6 « Nalongolaki mokumba oyo ezalaki na mapeka na ye, mpe maboko na ye elongwaki na bowumbu ya kosimba bitunga. »
I haue withdrawen his shoulder from the burden, and his handes haue left the pots.
7 Tango ozalaki koganga mpo na pasi, nakangolaki yo, nayanolaki yo kati na kake epai wapi nabombamaki, namekaki yo pembeni ya mayi ya Meriba.
Thou calledst in affliction and I deliuered thee, and answered thee in the secret of the thunder: I prooued thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 Bato na ngai, boyoka ngai! Mpe nakokebisa bino. Ah Isalaele, soki kaka ozalaki koyokela ngai!
Heare, O my people, and I wil protest vnto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken vnto me,
9 Okozala na nzambe ya mopaya te kati na yo, okogumbamela nzambe mosusu te, longola kaka ngai!
Let there bee no strange god in thee, neither worship thou any strange god.
10 Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito; fungola malamu monoko na yo, mpe nakotondisa yango.
For I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.
11 Kasi bato na ngai bayokaki mongongo na ngai te, Isalaele aboyaki kotosa ngai.
But my people would not heare my voyce, and Israel would none of me.
12 Mpo na yango, natikaki bango kotambola kolanda baposa ya mitema makasi na bango; mpe balandaki makanisi na bango.
So I gaue them vp vnto the hardnesse of their heart, and they haue walked in their owne cousels.
13 Soki bato na ngai bazalaki koyokela ngai, soki Isalaele azalaki kolanda banzela na ngai,
Oh that my people had hearkened vnto me, and Israel had walked in my wayes.
14 nalingaki mbala moko koyokisa banguna na bango soni mpe kobundisa bayini na bango.
I would soone haue humbled their enemies, and turned mine hand against their aduersaries.
15 Mpe bato oyo bayinaka Yawe balingaki komikitisa liboso na Ye, mpe etumbu na bango elingaki kowumela mpo na libela.
The haters of the Lord should haue bene subiect vnto him, and their time should haue endured for euer.
16 Yawe alingaki koleisa Isalaele bilei ya kitoko mpe kotondisa bango na mafuta ya nzoyi.
And God would haue fedde them with the fatte of wheat, and with honie out of the rocke would I haue sufficed thee.
