Banzembo 7
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya mawa oyo Davidi ayembelaki Yawe na tina na Kushi, moto ya libota ya Benjame. Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, nabombamaka kati na Yo; bikisa ngai mpe kangola ngai liboso ya bato nyonso oyo balukaka koboma ngai.
O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Soki te, bakopasola ngai lokola nkosi mpe bakokata ngai na biteni, mpe moto akozala te mpo na kosunga ngai.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, soki nasalaki makambo oyo bazali kopamela ngai mpo na yango, mpe soki ezali na mabe na maboko na ngai,
O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 soki nasalaki moninga na ngai mabe, soki nabotolaki na makasi mpe kaka na pamba, biloko ya moyini na ngai;
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: )
5 wana tika ete monguna na ngai alanda mpe akanga ngai, tika ete asakanela bomoi na ngai mpe abebisa lokumu na ngai.
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. (Selah)
6 Yawe, telema na kanda na Yo, telemela kotomboka ya banguna na ngai. Nzambe na ngai, telema, kata likambo na ngai.
Arise, O LORD, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.
7 Tika ete bikolo esangana zingazinga na Yo, kasi Yo, konza bango wuta na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi.
So shall the congregation of the people compass you about: for their sakes therefore return you on high.
8 Tika ete Yawe asambisa bikolo. Yawe, longisa ngai kolanda bosembo na ngai, kolanda bozangi pamela na ngai, Yo-Oyo-Oleki-Likolo.
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Yo Nzambe ya sembo oyo ososolaka mozindo ya mayele mpe ya mitema, sukisa kanza ya bato mabe mpe yikisa moto ya sembo mpiko.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.
10 Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo azali nguba na ngai, abikisaka bato ya sembo.
My defence is of God, which saves the upright in heart.
11 Nzambe azali Mosambisi ya sembo, asilikaka mikolo nyonso.
God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 Soki alembisi kanda na Ye te, akopelisa minu ya mopanga na Ye, akobongisa mpe akobeta tolotolo na Ye.
If he turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 Abongisaka bibundeli oyo ebomaka mpe asalaka ete makonga na Ye ekoma kozikisa.
He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordains his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Moto nyonso oyo abongisaka kosala mabe alukaka ndenge nini koyokisa bato pasi mpe abebisaka boyokani;
Behold, he labors with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 atimolaka libulu, kasi ye moko nde akweyaka kati na yango.
He made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Pasi oyo ayokisaka bato ezongelaka ye moko, mpe mabe na ye ekweyaka na moto na ye moko.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own crown of the head.
17 Nakokumisa Yawe mpo na bosembo na Ye, mpe nakosanzola Yawe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo na banzembo.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
