Psalms 3
1 Jehovah, how my adversaries are increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Ayembaki yango tango azalaki kokima Abisalomi, mwana na ye. Oh Yawe, banguna na ngai bazali motango boni! Banguna boni oyo bazali kobundisa ngai!
2 Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Ebele bazali koloba na tina na ngai: « Nzambe akobikisa ye te! »
3 But thou, O Jehovah, are a shield about me, my glory and he who lifts up of my head.
Nzokande Yo, Yawe, ozali nguba mpe nkembo na ngai, Yo nde omatisaka lokumu na ngai.
4 I cry to Jehovah with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
Nabelelaka Yawe, mpe ayanolaka ngai wuta na ngomba na Ye ya bule.
5 I laid down and slept. I awoke, for Jehovah sustains me.
Nalalaka mpe nazwaka pongi; nalamukaka lisusu, pamba te Yawe azali makasi na ngai.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people who have set themselves against me round about.
Nakobanga te atako ebele ya bankoto bazingeli ngai na bangambo nyonso.
7 Arise, O Jehovah. Save me, O my God. For thou have smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone. Thou have broken the teeth of the wicked.
Yawe, telema! Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai! Beta banguna na ngai nyonso bambata, buka bato mabe minu.
8 Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Thy blessing be upon thy people. (Selah)
Kokangolama na ngai ewutaka na Yawe. Tika ete lipamboli na Yo ewumela kati na bato na Yo.
