Psalms 143
1 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah. Give ear to my supplications. In thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, landa mabondeli na ngai! Yanola ngai na boyengebene mpe na bosembo na Yo.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant. For in thy sight no man living is righteous.
Kosambisa mosali na Yo te, pamba te moto moko te ya bomoi azali sembo liboso na Yo.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul. He has smitten my life down to the ground. He has made me to dwell in dark places as those who have been long dead.
Monguna azali konyokola ngai, azali kosakana na bomoi, azali kosala ete navanda kati na molili lokola bato oyo bakufa na tango ya kala.
4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
Molimo na ngai elembi kati na ngai, motema na ngai emitungisi kati na ngai.
5 I remember the days of old. I meditate on all thy doings. I muse on the work of thy hands.
Nakanisi mikolo ya kala, namilobeli nyonso oyo osala, nakanisi malamu mosala ya maboko na Yo.
6 I spread forth my hands to thee. My soul is as a weary land for thee. (Selah)
Nasemboli maboko na ngai epai na Yo; nakomi komimona lokola mabele ya kokawuka.
7 Make haste to answer me, O Jehovah, my spirit fails. Hide not thy face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit.
Yawe, zongisela ngai eyano noki! Molimo na ngai ezali kolemba. Kopesa ngai mokongo te, noki te nakozala lokola bato oyo bazali kokita na libulu.
8 Cause me to hear thy loving kindness in the morning, for in thee do I trust. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to thee.
Na tongo makasi, sala ete nayoka boboto na Yo, pamba te natia elikya na ngai kati na Yo. Lakisa ngai nzela ya kolanda, pamba te napesi bomoi na ngai epai na Yo.
9 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from my enemies. I flee to thee to hide me.
Yawe, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai! Nazali koluka ebombamelo epai na Yo.
10 Teach me to do thy will, for thou are my God. Thy Spirit is good, lead me in the land of uprightness.
Lakisa ngai kosala mokano na Yo, pamba te ozali Nzambe na ngai. Tika ete Molimo malamu na Yo atambolisa ngai na mabele oyo ezanga mabaku!
11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake. In thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble.
Yawe, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo, bikisa bomoi na ngai! Na bosembo na Yo, longola bomoi na ngai kati na pasi.
12 And in thy loving kindness cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am thy servant.
Na bolingo na Yo, kanga minoko ya banguna na ngai mpe limwisa bayini na ngai nyonso, pamba te nazali mosali na Yo.
