Banzembo 86

1 Libondeli ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka mpe yanola ngai; pamba te nazali mobola mpe moto akelela.

Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

2 Batela bomoi na ngai, pamba te nazali moyengebene na Yo. Yo, Nzambe na ngai, bikisa ngai, mosali na Yo, oyo natiaka elikya kati na Yo.

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.

3 Oh Nkolo, yokela ngai mawa; pamba te nabelelaka Yo tango nyonso!

Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to you daily.

4 Nkolo, sepelisa motema na ngai, mosali na Yo, pamba te natombolaka molimo na ngai epai na Yo.

Rejoice the soul of your servant: for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 Nkolo, ozali malamu, olimbisaka, otonda na bolingo mpo na bato nyonso oyo babelelaka Yo.

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy to all them that call on you.

6 Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, yoka libondeli na ngai!

Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

7 Na mokolo ya pasi na ngai, nabelelaka Yo, pamba te oyanolaka ngai.

In the day of my trouble I will call on you: for you will answer me.

8 Nkolo, nzambe moko te ekokani na Yo, kati na banzambe; moko te ekoki kosala makambo oyo Yo osalaka.

Among the gods there is none like to you, O Lord; neither are there any works like to your works.

9 Nkolo, bikolo nyonso oyo osala ekoya kogumbama liboso na Yo mpe ekoya kopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo.

All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.

10 Pamba te ozali monene mpe osalaka bikamwa; Yo kaka nde ozali Nzambe.

For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.

11 Yawe, lakisa ngai nzela na Yo, mpe nakotambola kolanda bosolo na Yo. Pesa ngai motema ya sembo mpo ete natosa Yo.

Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.

12 Nkolo, Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo, na motema na ngai mobimba, nakopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo mpo na Yo libela.

I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for ever more.

13 Pamba te bolingo na Yo mpo na ngai ezali monene, mpe okangolaki ngai wuta na mozindo ya mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)

For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)

14 Nzambe, bato ya lofundu bazali kobundisa ngai, mpe ngulupa ya bato na kanza bazali koluka koboma ngai; batosaka Yo ata moke te.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.

15 Kasi Yo Nkolo, ozali Nzambe na mawa mpe na ngolu, osilikaka noki te, otonda na bolingo mpe na boyengebene.

But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

16 Balola elongi na Yo epai na ngai mpe yokela ngai mawa; pesa ngai, mosali na Yo, makasi mpe bikisa ngai mwana ya mwasi mosali na Yo!

O turn to me, and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.

17 Salela ngai elembo ya boboto na Yo mpo ete banguna na ngai bamona yango mpe bakufa soni! Yawe, ozali Mosungi mpe Mobondi na ngai.

Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
