Banzembo 85
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Yawe, osalelaki mboka na Yo bolamu, ozongisaki bato ya Jakobi, oyo bazalaki na bowumbu,
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of the sons of Korah.” O LORD! thou hast been favorable to thy land; Thou hast brought back the captives of Jacob;
2 olimbisaki mabe ya bato na Yo mpe olongolaki masumu na bango nyonso.
Thou didst forgive the iniquity of thy people, And cover all their sins! (Pause)
3 Otikaki kanda na Yo nyonso ya makasi mpe okitisaki motema na Yo.
Thou didst take away all thy displeasure, And abate the fierceness of thy wrath.
4 Nzambe Mobikisi na biso, zongela biso! Longola kanda na Yo na tina na biso!
Restore us, O God of our salvation! And let thine anger towards us cease!
5 Boni, okosilikela biso penza mpo na libela? Okokangela penza biso kanda mpo na tango nyonso?
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou continue thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Okozongisela biso lisusu bomoi te mpo ete bato na Yo basepela kati na Yo?
Wilt thou not revive us again, That thy people may rejoice in thee?
7 Yawe, talisa biso bolingo na Yo, mpe pesa biso lobiko na Yo!
Show us thy compassion, O LORD! And grant us thy salvation!
8 Yawe, nakoyoka maloba na Nzambe; pamba te alobaka mpo na kimia ya bato na Ye mpe ya bayengebene na Ye. Kasi tika ete bazongela te botomboki na bango.
I will hear what God the LORD will speak: Truly he will speak peace to his people, and to his servants; Only let them not turn again to folly!
9 Solo, lobiko na Ye ezali pene ya bato oyo batosaka Ye mpo ete nkembo na Ye ewumela kati na mboka na biso.
Yea, his salvation is near to those who fear him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Bolingo mpe boyengebene ekutanaka, bosembo mpe kimia eyambanaka.
Mercy and truth shall meet together, Righteousness and peace shall kiss each other;
11 Bosolo ebotaka wuta na mabele, mpe bosembo etalaka wuta na likolo.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; Righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Ye moko Yawe akopesa esengo, mpe mabele na biso ekobota bambuma.
Yea, Jehovah will give prosperity, And our land shall yield her increase.
13 Bosembo etambolaka liboso na Ye mpe elakisaka nzela oyo ekolekela.
Righteousness shall go before him, And set us in the way of his steps.
