Banzembo 86
1 Libondeli ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka mpe yanola ngai; pamba te nazali mobola mpe moto akelela.
A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer 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.
Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.
3 Oh Nkolo, yokela ngai mawa; pamba te nabelelaka Yo tango nyonso!
Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.
4 Nkolo, sepelisa motema na ngai, mosali na Yo, pamba te natombolaka molimo na ngai epai na Yo.
Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, 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 forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.
6 Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, yoka libondeli na ngai!
Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Na mokolo ya pasi na ngai, nabelelaka Yo, pamba te oyanolaka ngai.
In a day of my distress I call You, For You answer me.
8 Nkolo, nzambe moko te ekokani na Yo, kati na banzambe; moko te ekoki kosala makambo oyo Yo osalaka.
There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.
9 Nkolo, bikolo nyonso oyo osala ekoya kogumbama liboso na Yo mpe ekoya kopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo.
All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.
10 Pamba te ozali monene mpe osalaka bikamwa; Yo kaka nde ozali Nzambe.
For You [are] great, and doing wonders, 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.
Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices 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 confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.
13 Pamba te bolingo na Yo mpo na ngai ezali monene, mpe okangolaki ngai wuta na mozindo ya mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (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 have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,
15 Kasi Yo Nkolo, ozali Nzambe na mawa mpe na ngolu, osilikaka noki te, otonda na bolingo mpe na boyengebene.
And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness 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!
Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a 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.
Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!
