< 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.
For the Leader; upon Muthlabben. A Psalm of David. I will give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart; I will tell of all Thy marvellous 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 exult in Thee; I will sing praise to Thy name, O Most High:
3 Banguna na ngai bazongaka sima, bakweyaka mpe balimwaka liboso na Yo.
When mine enemies are turned back, they stumble and perish at Thy presence;
4 Pamba te, okataki likambo na ngai mpe olongisaki ngai, ovandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi lokola Mosambisi ya sembo.
For Thou hast maintained my right and my cause; Thou sattest upon the throne as the righteous Judge.
5 Opamelaki bikolo mpe obomaki moto mabe, olimwisaki kombo na bango mpo na libela.
Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Banguna na ngai balimwa mpo na libela; opanzaki bingumba na bango kino bakanisa bango lisusu te.
O thou enemy, the waste places are come to an end for ever; and the cities which thou didst uproot, their very memorial is perished.
7 Yawe akonzaka mpo na libela, atia Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi mpo na kokata makambo ya bato.
But the LORD is enthroned for ever; He hath established His throne for judgment.
8 Akonzaka mokili na bosembo, akataka makambo ya bato na alima.
And He will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to the peoples with equity.
9 Yawe azali ebombamelo mpo na bato oyo bazali konyokolama, mpe ndako makasi mpo na tango ya pasi.
The LORD also will be a high tower for the oppressed, 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 they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee; for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.
11 Boyembela Yawe oyo avandaka kati na Siona banzembo ya masanzoli; bopanza sango ya misala na Ye kati na bikolo.
Sing praises to the LORD, who dwelleth in Zion; declare among the peoples His doings.
12 Pamba te Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe mpo na makila oyo esopani, akanisaka koganga ya banyokolami.
For He that avengeth blood hath remembered them; He hath not forgotten the cry of the humble.
13 Yawe, yokela ngai mawa, tala ndenge nini bayini na ngai bazali konyokola ngai, mpe kangola ngai wuta na bikuke ya kufa;
Be gracious unto me, O LORD, behold mine affliction at the hands of them that hate me; Thou that liftest me up from the gates 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.
That I may tell of all Thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion, that I may rejoice in Thy salvation.
15 Bapagano bakweyi na libulu oyo batimolaki, makolo na bango ekangami na mitambo oyo bango moko basalaki.
The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
16 Yawe amilakisi na nzela ya misala na Ye ya bosembo; bato mabe bakangami na mitambo oyo bango moko basalaki.
The LORD hath made Himself known, He hath executed judgment, the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
17 Bato mabe, bikolo nyonso, oyo bakanisaka Nzambe te, bakokende na mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol )
The wicked shall return to the nether-world, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol )
18 Kasi Nzambe akotikala te kobosana mobola, mpe elikya ya banyokolami ekotikala seko na seko.
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.
19 Yawe, telema! Tika ete moto alonga te; tika ete bapagano basamba liboso na Yo!
Arise, O LORD, let not man prevail; let the nations be judged in Thy sight.
20 Yawe, tika ete somo ekanga bango; tika ete bapagano bayeba ete bazali na bango kaka bato!
Set terror over them, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men. (Selah)
