Banzembo 9
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Nakosanzola Yawe na motema na ngai mobimba, nakotatola misala minene na Yo nyonso.
To the chief music-maker on Muthlabben. A Psalm. Of David. I will give you praise, O Lord, with all my heart; I will make clear all the wonder of your works.
2 Nakozala na esengo mpe nakosepela kati na Yo, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo-Oyo-Oleki-Likolo.
I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.
3 Banguna na ngai bazongaka sima, bakweyaka mpe balimwaka liboso na Yo.
When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.
4 Pamba te, okataki likambo na ngai mpe olongisaki ngai, ovandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi lokola Mosambisi ya sembo.
For you gave approval to my right and my cause; you were seated in your high place judging in righteousness.
5 Opamelaki bikolo mpe obomaki moto mabe, olimwisaki kombo na bango mpo na libela.
You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.
6 Banguna na ngai balimwa mpo na libela; opanzaki bingumba na bango kino bakanisa bango lisusu te.
You have given their towns to destruction; the memory of them has gone; they have become waste for ever.
7 Yawe akonzaka mpo na libela, atia Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi mpo na kokata makambo ya bato.
But the Lord is King for ever: he has made ready his high seat for judging.
8 Akonzaka mokili na bosembo, akataka makambo ya bato na alima.
And he will be the judge of the world in righteousness, giving true decisions for the peoples.
9 Yawe azali ebombamelo mpo na bato oyo bazali konyokolama, mpe ndako makasi mpo na tango ya pasi.
The Lord will be a high tower for those who are crushed down, a high tower in times of trouble;
10 Bato oyo bayebi Kombo na Yo batiaka elikya na bango kati na Yo; pamba te, Yo Yawe, osundolaka te bato oyo balukaka Yo.
And those who have knowledge of your name will put their faith in you; because you, Lord, have ever given your help to those who were waiting for you.
11 Boyembela Yawe oyo avandaka kati na Siona banzembo ya masanzoli; bopanza sango ya misala na Ye kati na bikolo.
Make songs of praise to the Lord, whose house is in Zion: make his doings clear to the people.
12 Pamba te Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe mpo na makila oyo esopani, akanisaka koganga ya banyokolami.
When he makes search for blood, he has them in his memory: he is not without thought for the cry of the poor.
13 Yawe, yokela ngai mawa, tala ndenge nini bayini na ngai bazali konyokola ngai, mpe kangola ngai wuta na bikuke ya kufa;
Have mercy on me, O Lord, and see how I am troubled by my haters; let me be lifted up from the doors of death;
14 mpo ete napanza sango ya lokumu na Yo kati na bikuke ya Siona, mboka kitoko, mpe nasepela na lobiko na Yo kuna.
So that I may make clear all your praise in the house of the daughter of Zion: I will be glad because of your salvation.
15 Bapagano bakweyi na libulu oyo batimolaki, makolo na bango ekangami na mitambo oyo bango moko basalaki.
The nations have gone down into the hole which they made: in their secret net is their foot taken.
16 Yawe amilakisi na nzela ya misala na Ye ya bosembo; bato mabe bakangami na mitambo oyo bango moko basalaki.
The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion, Selah)
The sinners and all the nations who have no memory of God will be turned into the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kasi Nzambe akotikala te kobosana mobola, mpe elikya ya banyokolami ekotikala seko na seko.
For the poor will not be without help; the hopes of those in need will not be crushed for ever.
19 Yawe, telema! Tika ete moto alonga te; tika ete bapagano basamba liboso na Yo!
Up! O Lord; let not man overcome you: let the nations be judged before you.
20 Yawe, tika ete somo ekanga bango; tika ete bapagano bayeba ete bazali na bango kaka bato!
Put them in fear, O Lord, so that the nations may see that they are only men. (Selah)
