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 “The Death of the Son.” A Psalm by David. I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.
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, O Most High.
3 Banguna na ngai bazongaka sima, bakweyaka mpe balimwaka liboso na Yo.
When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.
4 Pamba te, okataki likambo na ngai mpe olongisaki ngai, ovandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi lokola Mosambisi ya sembo.
For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.
5 Opamelaki bikolo mpe obomaki moto mabe, olimwisaki kombo na bango mpo na libela.
You have 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 is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.
7 Yawe akonzaka mpo na libela, atia Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi mpo na kokata makambo ya bato.
But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.
8 Akonzaka mokili na bosembo, akataka makambo ya bato na alima.
He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.
9 Yawe azali ebombamelo mpo na bato oyo bazali konyokolama, mpe ndako makasi mpo na tango ya pasi.
Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower 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 will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken 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 dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.
12 Pamba te Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe mpo na makila oyo esopani, akanisaka koganga ya banyokolami.
For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.
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 my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up 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.
that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
15 Bapagano bakweyi na libulu oyo batimolaki, makolo na bango ekangami na mitambo oyo bango moko basalaki.
The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
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 snared by the work of his own hands. (Meditation, Selah)
The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even 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 shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
19 Yawe, telema! Tika ete moto alonga te; tika ete bapagano basamba liboso na Yo!
Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.
20 Yawe, tika ete somo ekanga bango; tika ete bapagano bayeba ete bazali na bango kaka bato!
Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men. (Selah)
