< Banzembo 82 >
1 Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe atelemi kati na lisanga na Ye, azali kokata makambo kati na banzambe.
A psalm of Asaph God [is] taking his stand in [the] congregation of God in [the] midst of [the] gods he gives judgment.
2 Kino tango nini bokokata makambo na bosembo te mpe bokokotela bato mabe?
Until when? will you judge injustice and [the] face of wicked [people] will you lift up (Selah)
3 Bolongisa moto oyo azangi makasi mpe mwana etike, bokata likambo ya moto ya mawa mpe ya mobola;
Give judgment for [the] poor and [the] fatherless [the] afflicted and [the] poor vindicate.
4 bopesa bonsomi na moto oyo azangi makasi mpe na mobola, bokangola bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe.
Deliver [the] poor and [the] needy from [the] hand of wicked [people] rescue [them].
5 Bazangi boyebi mpe bososoli, bazali koyengayenga kati na molili; miboko nyonso ya mokili ezali koningana.
Not they know - and not they understand in darkness they walk about they are shaken all [the] foundations of [the] earth.
6 Nalobaki: « Bozali banzambe, bozali bino nyonso bana ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo! »
I I said [are] gods you and [are] [the] children of [the] Most High all of you.
7 Nzokande, bokufaka lokola bato nyonso mpe bokweyaka lokola bakambi.
Nevertheless like humankind you will die! and like one of the princes you will fall.
8 Nzambe, telema, sambisa mokili; pamba te bikolo nyonso ezali libula na Yo.
Arise! O God judge! the earth for you you have an inheritance among all the nations.
