Banzembo 90
1 Losambo ya Moyize, moto na Nzambe. Oh Nkolo, ozalaki ekimelo na biso, na bikeke nyonso.
The preier of Moises, the man of God. Lord, thou art maad help to vs; fro generacioun in to generacioun.
2 Liboso ete bangomba ezala, liboso ete okela mabele mpe mokili, libela na libela, ozali Nzambe.
Bifore that hillis weren maad, ether the erthe and the world was formed; fro the world and in to the world thou art God.
3 Ozongisaka moto na putulu, pamba te oloba: « Bino bato, bozonga na putulu! »
Turne thou not awei a man in to lownesse; and thou seidist, Ye sones of men, be conuertid.
4 Na miso na Yo, mibu nkoto moko ezali lokola mokolo ya lobi oyo esili koleka, lokola ngonga moko ya butu.
For a thousynde yeer ben bifore thin iyen; as yistirdai, which is passid, and as keping in the niyt.
5 Olekisaka yango lokola pongi ya butu, oyo na tongo, esilaka lokola lititi.
The yeeris of hem schulen be; that ben had for nouyt.
6 Na tongo, ebimisaka fololo mpe etelaka noki; kasi na pokwa, enzulukaka mpe ekawuki.
Eerli passe he, as an eerbe, eerli florische he, and passe; in the euentid falle he doun, be he hard, and wexe drie.
7 Kanda na Yo elembisaka biso nzoto, mpe kanda makasi na Yo epesaka biso bobangi.
For we han failid in thin ire; and we ben disturblid in thi strong veniaunce.
8 Otiaka masumu na biso liboso na Yo mpe obimisaka na polele makambo oyo tobombaka.
Thou hast set oure wickidnessis in thi siyt; oure world in the liytning of thi cheer.
9 Mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na biso elimwaka mpo na kanda na Yo, mpe mibu na biso esilaka lokola kolela.
For alle oure daies han failid; and we han failid in thin ire. Oure yeris schulen bithenke, as an yreyn;
10 Molayi ya bomoi na biso ekoki kozala mibu tuku sambo to mibu tuku mwambe mpo na bato oyo baleki makasi; nzokande, etondi na pasi mpe na minyoko, pamba te elekaka noki, mpe tolimwaka.
the daies of oure yeeris ben in tho seuenti yeeris. Forsothe, if fourescoor yeer ben in myyti men; and the more tyme of hem is trauel and sorewe. For myldenesse cam aboue; and we schulen be chastisid.
11 Nani ayebi makasi ya kanda na Yo? Moto oyo azalaka na botosi mingi epai na Yo asosolaka malamu kanda makasi na Yo.
Who knew the power of thin ire; and durste noumbre thin ire for thi drede?
12 Lakisa biso kotanga malamu mikolo ya bomoi na biso mpo ete tokoma na mitema ya bwanya.
Make thi riythond so knowun; and make men lerned in herte bi wisdom.
13 Yawe, lembisa moke! Kino tango nini ekowumela? Yokela basali na Yo mawa!
Lord, be thou conuertid sumdeel; and be thou able to be preied on thi seruauntis.
14 Tongo nyonso, tondisaka biso na bolingo na Yo mpe tokoganga na esengo, mpe tokosepela mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na biso.
We weren fillid eerli with thi merci; we maden ful out ioye, and we delitiden in alle oure daies.
15 Zongisela biso na mikolo ya esengo, mikolo oyo onyokolaki biso; zongisela biso na mibu ya esengo, mibu oyo tomonaki pasi.
We weren glad for the daies in whiche thou madist vs meke; for the yeeris in whiche we siyen yuels.
16 Tika ete biso, basali na Yo, tomona misala na Yo; mpe ete bana na biso bamona kongenga makasi ya nkembo na Yo!
Lord, biholde thou into thi seruauntis, and in to thi werkis; and dresse thou the sones of hem.
17 Tika ete boboto ya Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, ezala elongo na biso! Mpo na biso, sala ete misala na biso ekende liboso! Iyo, sala ete misala na biso ekende kaka liboso!
And the schynyng of oure Lord God be on vs; and dresse thou the werkis of oure hondis on vs, and dresse thou the werk of oure hondis.
