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 chief musician; set to Muth Labben style. A psalm of David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart; I will tell about all your marvelous deeds.
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 rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, Most High!
3 Banguna na ngai bazongaka sima, bakweyaka mpe balimwaka liboso na Yo.
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish before you.
4 Pamba te, okataki likambo na ngai mpe olongisaki ngai, ovandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi lokola Mosambisi ya sembo.
For you have defended my just cause; you sit on your throne, a righteous judge!
5 Opamelaki bikolo mpe obomaki moto mabe, olimwisaki kombo na bango mpo na libela.
You rebuked the nations; you have destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 Banguna na ngai balimwa mpo na libela; opanzaki bingumba na bango kino bakanisa bango lisusu te.
The enemy crumbled like ruins when you overthrew their cities. All remembrance of them has perished.
7 Yawe akonzaka mpo na libela, atia Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi mpo na kokata makambo ya bato.
But Yahweh remains forever; he has established his throne for justice.
8 Akonzaka mokili na bosembo, akataka makambo ya bato na alima.
He will judge the world with righteousness, and he will execute judgment for the nations with fairness.
9 Yawe azali ebombamelo mpo na bato oyo bazali konyokolama, mpe ndako makasi mpo na tango ya pasi.
Yahweh also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold 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.
Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Yahweh, do not abandon those who seek you.
11 Boyembela Yawe oyo avandaka kati na Siona banzembo ya masanzoli; bopanza sango ya misala na Ye kati na bikolo.
Sing praises to Yahweh, who rules in Zion; tell the nations what he has done.
12 Pamba te Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe mpo na makila oyo esopani, akanisaka koganga ya banyokolami.
For the God who avenges bloodshed remembers; he does not forget the cry of the oppressed.
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, Yahweh; see how I am oppressed by those who hate me, you who can snatch me 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.
Oh, that I might proclaim all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in your salvation!
15 Bapagano bakweyi na libulu oyo batimolaki, makolo na bango ekangami na mitambo oyo bango moko basalaki.
The nations have sunk down into the pit that they made; their feet are caught in the net that they hid.
16 Yawe amilakisi na nzela ya misala na Ye ya bosembo; bato mabe bakangami na mitambo oyo bango moko basalaki.
Yahweh has made himself known; he has executed judgment; the wicked is ensnared by his own actions. (Selah)
The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol, all the nations that forget God. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kasi Nzambe akotikala te kobosana mobola, mpe elikya ya banyokolami ekotikala seko na seko.
For the needy will not always be forgotten, nor will the hope of the oppressed be forever dashed.
19 Yawe, telema! Tika ete moto alonga te; tika ete bapagano basamba liboso na Yo!
Arise, Yahweh; do not let man win against you; may the nations be judged in your sight.
20 Yawe, tika ete somo ekanga bango; tika ete bapagano bayeba ete bazali na bango kaka bato!
Terrify them, Yahweh; may the nations know that they are mere men. (Selah)
