Banzembo 88
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Ezali ya koyemba na flite. Nzembo ya Emani, moto ya Ezera. Yawe, ozali Nzambe; Yo nde obikisaka ngai! Butu mpe moyi, nagangaka epai na Yo!
A song or Psalme of Heman the Ezrahite to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah for him that excelleth upon Malath Leannoth. O Lord God of my saluation, I cry day and night before thee.
2 Tika ete losambo na ngai ekoma epai na Yo; Yoka koganga na ngai!
Let my prayer enter into thy presence: incline thine eare vnto my cry.
For my soule is filled with euils, and my life draweth neere to the graue. (Sheol h7585)
4 Batie ngai na molongo ya bato oyo bazali kokende na kunda; nakeseni ata moke te na moto oyo azali lisusu na makasi te.
I am counted among them that go downe vnto the pit, and am as a man without strength:
5 Nakomi moko kati na bakufi, lokola bato oyo basila kokufa na bitumba mpe bazali sik’oyo kati na kunda, lokola bato oyo okanisaka lisusu te, pamba te obatelaka bango lisusu te.
Free among the dead, like the slaine lying in the graue, whome thou remembrest no more, and they are cut off from thine hand.
6 Obwaki ngai na libulu ya mozindo makasi, kati na mozindo ya molili.
Thou hast layde me in the lowest pit, in darkenes, and in the deepe.
7 Kanda na Yo ya makasi ekweyeli ngai, bambonge na yango nyonso ezali konyokola ngai.
Thine indignation lyeth vpon me, and thou hast vexed me with all thy waues. (Selah)
8 Okaboli ngai na balingami na ngai ya motema, okomisi ngai eloko ya nkele na miso na bango; nakomi lokola mokangami kati na boloko, nakoki kobima te!
Thou hast put away mine acquaintance farre from me, and made mee to be abhorred of them: I am shut vp, and cannot get foorth.
9 Miso na ngai ezali komona lisusu te mpo na pasi; nzokande nabelelaka Yo, Yawe, mikolo nyonso, natombolaka maboko na ngai epai na Yo!
Mine eye is sorowfull through mine affliction: Lord, I call dayly vpon thee: I stretch out mine hands vnto thee.
10 Boni, okosala bikamwa mpo na bakufi? Boni, bakufi bakoki kotelema mpo na kosanzola Yo?
Wilt thou shewe a miracle to the dead? or shall the dead rise and prayse thee? (Selah)
11 Boni, bolingo na Yo etatolamaka kati na kunda, mpe bosembo na Yo, kati na mboka ya bakufi?
Shall thy louing kindenes be declared in the graue? or thy faithfulnes in destruction?
12 Boni, bikamwa na Yo eyebani kati na molili, mpe bosembo na Yo, kati na mokili ya bato oyo babosana?
Shall thy wonderous workes be knowen in the darke? and thy righteousnes in the land of obliuion?
13 Kasi ngai, nazali kobelela nde Yo, Yawe; nabondelaka Yo tongo nyonso.
But vnto thee haue I cryed, O Lord, and early shall my prayer come before thee.
14 Yawe, mpo na nini kobwaka ngai mpe kobombela ngai elongi na Yo?
Lord, why doest thou reiect my soule, and hidest thy face from me?
15 Wuta bolenge na ngai, nazali mobola mpe moto na pasi; mpe okweyiselaka ngai makambo na Yo ya somo! Solo, elikya esili ngai!
I am afflicted and at the point of death: from my youth I suffer thy terrours, doubting of my life.
16 Kanda makasi na Yo ebetaka ngai, minyoko oyo ewutaka epai na Yo ekomisaka ngai moto pamba.
Thine indignations goe ouer me, and thy feare hath cut me off.
17 Ezingelaka ngai mikolo nyonso, lokola mayi, na bangambo nyonso.
They came round about me dayly like water, and compassed me together.
18 Okaboli ngai na baninga mpe balingami na ngai, natikali na moninga kaka moko ya motema: molili!
My louers and friends hast thou put away from me, and mine acquaintance hid themselues.
