Banzembo 86
1 Libondeli ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka mpe yanola ngai; pamba te nazali mobola mpe moto akelela.
A Prayer of David. Bow down thy 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 thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3 Oh Nkolo, yokela ngai mawa; pamba te nabelelaka Yo tango nyonso!
Be merciful to me, O LORD: for I cry to thee daily.
4 Nkolo, sepelisa motema na ngai, mosali na Yo, pamba te natombolaka molimo na ngai epai na Yo.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
5 Nkolo, ozali malamu, olimbisaka, otonda na bolingo mpo na bato nyonso oyo babelelaka Yo.
For thou, LORD, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.
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 upon thee: for thou wilt 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 thee, O LORD; neither [are there any works] like thy works.
9 Nkolo, bikolo nyonso oyo osala ekoya kogumbama liboso na Yo mpe ekoya kopesa Kombo na Yo nkembo.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD; and shall glorify thy name.
10 Pamba te ozali monene mpe osalaka bikamwa; Yo kaka nde ozali Nzambe.
For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art] 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 thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy 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 thee, O LORD my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
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] thy mercy towards me: and thou hast 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 have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
15 Kasi Yo Nkolo, ozali Nzambe na mawa mpe na ngolu, osilikaka noki te, otonda na bolingo mpe na boyengebene.
But thou, O LORD, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious; long-suffering, and abundant 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 upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy 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 who hate me may see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
