Banzembo 130

1 Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Ndako ya Nkolo. Nkolo, nazali kobelela Yo wuta na mozindo ya pasi!

[A Song of Ascents.] Out of the depths I have cried to you, Jehovah.

2 Nkolo, yoka ngai! Yoka mabondeli na ngai!

Jehovah, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3 Yawe, soki obosanaka masumu te, Nkolo, nani akokaki kotelema?

If you, JAH, kept a record of sins, Jehovah, who could stand?

4 Kasi bolimbisi ezali epai na Yo, yango wana basengeli kotosa Yo.

But there is forgiveness with you, so that you may be revered.

5 Na motema na ngai mobimba, nazali na elikya kati na Yawe, nazali penza na elikya; nazali kozela maloba na Ye.

I wait for Jehovah. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

6 Nazali na elikya kati na Nkolo koleka kutu ndenge mokengeli azelaka kotana ya tongo, koleka penza ndenge mokengeli azelaka kotana ya tongo.

My soul longs for Jehovah more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Isalaele, tia elikya kati na Yawe, pamba te azali bolingo, mpe kokangolama ya kokoka ezali elongo na Ye.

Israel, hope in Jehovah, for with Jehovah there is loving kindness. With him is abundant redemption.

8 Ye nde akokangola Isalaele na bambeba na yango nyonso.

He will redeem Israel from all their sins.
