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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. LORD, you have been favorable to your land. You have restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 olimbisaki mabe ya bato na Yo mpe olongolaki masumu na bango nyonso.
You have forgiven the iniquity of your people. You have covered all their sin. (Selah)
3 Otikaki kanda na Yo nyonso ya makasi mpe okitisaki motema na Yo.
You have taken away all your wrath. You have turned from the fierceness of your anger.
4 Nzambe Mobikisi na biso, zongela biso! Longola kanda na Yo na tina na biso!
Turn us, God of our salvation, and cause your indignation toward us to cease.
5 Boni, okosilikela biso penza mpo na libela? Okokangela penza biso kanda mpo na tango nyonso?
Will you be angry with us forever? Will you draw out your anger to all generations?
6 Okozongisela biso lisusu bomoi te mpo ete bato na Yo basepela kati na Yo?
Won’t you revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Yawe, talisa biso bolingo na Yo, mpe pesa biso lobiko na Yo!
Show us your loving kindness, LORD. Grant us your 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, for he will speak peace to his people, his saints; but 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.
Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.
10 Bolingo mpe boyengebene ekutanaka, bosembo mpe kimia eyambanaka.
Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11 Bosolo ebotaka wuta na mabele, mpe bosembo etalaka wuta na likolo.
Truth springs out of the earth. Righteousness has looked down from heaven.
12 Ye moko Yawe akopesa esengo, mpe mabele na biso ekobota bambuma.
Yes, the LORD will give that which is good. Our land will yield its increase.
13 Bosembo etambolaka liboso na Ye mpe elakisaka nzela oyo ekolekela.
Righteousness goes before him, and prepares the way for his steps.
