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!
The song of salm, to the sones of Chore, to victorie on Mahalat, for to answere, the lernyng of Heman Ezraite. Lord God of myn helthe; Y criede in dai and nyyt bifore thee.
2 Tika ete losambo na ngai ekoma epai na Yo; Yoka koganga na ngai!
Mi preier entre bifore thi siyt; bowe doun thin eere to my preier.
For my soule is fillid with yuels; and my lijf neiyede to helle. (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 gessid with hem that goon doun in to the lake; Y am maad as a man with outen help,
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.
and fre among deed men. As men woundid slepinge in sepulcris, of whiche men noon is myndeful aftir; and thei ben put awei fro thin hond.
6 Obwaki ngai na libulu ya mozindo makasi, kati na mozindo ya molili.
Thei han put me in the lower lake; in derke places, and in the schadewe of deth.
7 Kanda na Yo ya makasi ekweyeli ngai, bambonge na yango nyonso ezali konyokola ngai.
Thi strong veniaunce is confermed on me; and thou hast brouyt in alle thi wawis on me.
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 maad fer fro me my knowun; thei han set me abhomynacioun to hem silf. I am takun, and Y yede not out;
9 Miso na ngai ezali komona lisusu te mpo na pasi; nzokande nabelelaka Yo, Yawe, mikolo nyonso, natombolaka maboko na ngai epai na Yo!
myn iyen weren sijk for pouert. Lord, Y criede to thee; al dai Y spredde abrood myn hondis to thee.
10 Boni, okosala bikamwa mpo na bakufi? Boni, bakufi bakoki kotelema mpo na kosanzola Yo?
Whethir thou schalt do merueils to deed men; ether leechis schulen reise, and thei schulen knouleche to thee?
11 Boni, bolingo na Yo etatolamaka kati na kunda, mpe bosembo na Yo, kati na mboka ya bakufi?
Whether ony man in sepulcre schal telle thi merci; and thi treuthe in perdicioun?
12 Boni, bikamwa na Yo eyebani kati na molili, mpe bosembo na Yo, kati na mokili ya bato oyo babosana?
Whether thi merueilis schulen be knowun in derknessis; and thi riytfulnesse in the lond of foryetyng?
13 Kasi ngai, nazali kobelela nde Yo, Yawe; nabondelaka Yo tongo nyonso.
And, Lord, Y criede to thee; and erli my preier schal bifor come to thee.
14 Yawe, mpo na nini kobwaka ngai mpe kobombela ngai elongi na Yo?
Lord, whi puttist thou awei my preier; turnest awei thi face fro 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 pore, and in traueils fro my yongthe; sotheli Y am enhaunsid, and Y am maad low, and disturblid.
16 Kanda makasi na Yo ebetaka ngai, minyoko oyo ewutaka epai na Yo ekomisaka ngai moto pamba.
Thi wraththis passiden on me; and thi dredis disturbliden me.
17 Ezingelaka ngai mikolo nyonso, lokola mayi, na bangambo nyonso.
Thei cumpassiden me as watir al dai; thei cumpassiden me togidere.
18 Okaboli ngai na baninga mpe balingami na ngai, natikali na moninga kaka moko ya motema: molili!
Thou madist fer fro me a frend and neiybore; and my knowun fro wretchidnesse.
