Banzembo 62

1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi, kolanda Yedutuni. Nzembo ya Davidi. Solo, nazwaka kimia kati na Nzambe; lobiko na ngai ewutaka epai na Ye.

[For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.] My soul rests in God alone, for my salvation is from him.

2 Solo, azali libanga mpe lobiko na ngai; azali ebombamelo na ngai, nakoningana te.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress—I will never be upended.

3 Kino tango nini bokosangela moto moko? Kino tango nini bino nyonso bokosangana mpo na koluka koboma ye lokola mir oyo etengami, lokola lopango oyo esili kokweya?

How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

4 Solo, basalaka makita mpo na kokweyisa ye wuta na esika na ye ya likolo, basepelaka kotatola lokuta. Bapambolaka na nzela ya minoko na bango; kasi kati na mitema na bango, balakelaka mabe.

They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. (Selah)

5 Oh molimo na ngai, zwa bopemi kati na Nzambe, pamba te elikya na ngai ewutaka epai na Ye.

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

6 Solo, azali libanga mpe lobiko na ngai; azali ebombamelo na ngai, nakoningana te.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be upended.

7 Nzambe azali lobiko mpe nkembo na ngai; libanga ya makasi na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai ezali kati na Nzambe.

With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Botielaka Ye elikya tango nyonso, bosopaka mitema na bino liboso na Ye, pamba te Nzambe azali ebombamelo mpo na biso.

Trust in him at all times, O people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us. (Selah)

9 Solo, bato bazali lokola molunge, bazali lokola lokuta; Soki batie bango na emekelo kilo, ata molunge ekoleka bango nyonso na kilo.

Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

10 Botiaka elikya te na mileki ya moyibi, mpe botielaka yango motema te; soki bomengo na bino ekomi ebele, bokangama na yango te.

Do not trust in oppression. Do not become vain in robbery. If riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

11 Nzambe alobaki mbala moko, ngai nayokaki mbala mibale: « Pamba te makasi ezali ya Nzambe;

God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

12 mpe bolingo ezali ya Nkolo; » mpe « ofutaka moto nyonso kolanda misala na ye. »

Also to you, YHWH, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.
