< Psalms 9 >
1 I will give thanks to Jehovah with my whole heart. I will show forth all thy marvelous works.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Nakosanzola Yawe na motema na ngai mobimba, nakotatola misala minene na Yo nyonso.
2 I will be glad and exult in thee. I will sing praise to thy name, O thou Most High.
Nakozala na esengo mpe nakosepela kati na Yo, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo-Oyo-Oleki-Likolo.
3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish at thy presence.
Banguna na ngai bazongaka sima, bakweyaka mpe balimwaka liboso na Yo.
4 For thou have maintained my right and my cause. Thou sit in the throne judging righteously.
Pamba te, okataki likambo na ngai mpe olongisaki ngai, ovandi na Kiti ya Bokonzi lokola Mosambisi ya sembo.
5 Thou have rebuked the nations. Thou have destroyed the wicked. Thou have blotted out their name forever and ever.
Opamelaki bikolo mpe obomaki moto mabe, olimwisaki kombo na bango mpo na libela.
6 The enemy have come to an end. They are desolate forever, and the cities which thou have overthrown. The very memory of them is perished,
Banguna na ngai balimwa mpo na libela; opanzaki bingumba na bango kino bakanisa bango lisusu te.
7 but Jehovah will endure forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment,
Yawe akonzaka mpo na libela, atia Kiti na Ye ya Bokonzi mpo na kokata makambo ya bato.
8 and he will judge the world in righteousness. He will minister justice to the peoples in uprightness.
Akonzaka mokili na bosembo, akataka makambo ya bato na alima.
9 Jehovah will also be a high tower for the oppressed, a high tower in times of trouble.
Yawe azali ebombamelo mpo na bato oyo bazali konyokolama, mpe ndako makasi mpo na tango ya pasi.
10 And those who know thy name will put their trust in thee, for thou, Jehovah, have not forsaken those who seek thee.
Bato oyo bayebi Kombo na Yo batiaka elikya na bango kati na Yo; pamba te, Yo Yawe, osundolaka te bato oyo balukaka Yo.
11 Sing praises to Jehovah, who dwells in Zion. Declare among the people his doings.
Boyembela Yawe oyo avandaka kati na Siona banzembo ya masanzoli; bopanza sango ya misala na Ye kati na bikolo.
12 For he who makes inquiry for blood remembers them. He does not forget the cry of the poor.
Pamba te Yawe azongisaka mabe na mabe mpo na makila oyo esopani, akanisaka koganga ya banyokolami.
13 Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah. Behold my affliction from those who hate me, thou who lifts me up from the gates of death
Yawe, yokela ngai mawa, tala ndenge nini bayini na ngai bazali konyokola ngai, mpe kangola ngai wuta na bikuke ya kufa;
14 that I may show forth all thy praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
mpo ete napanza sango ya lokumu na Yo kati na bikuke ya Siona, mboka kitoko, mpe nasepela na lobiko na Yo kuna.
15 The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.
Bapagano bakweyi na libulu oyo batimolaki, makolo na bango ekangami na mitambo oyo bango moko basalaki.
16 Jehovah has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. (Higgaion, Selah)
Yawe amilakisi na nzela ya misala na Ye ya bosembo; bato mabe bakangami na mitambo oyo bango moko basalaki.
17 Wicked men shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. (Sheol )
Bato mabe, bikolo nyonso, oyo bakanisaka Nzambe te, bakokende na mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol )
18 For a needy man shall not always be forgotten, nor the expectation of the poor perish forever.
Kasi Nzambe akotikala te kobosana mobola, mpe elikya ya banyokolami ekotikala seko na seko.
19 Arise, O Jehovah, let not man prevail. Let the nations be judged in thy sight.
Yawe, telema! Tika ete moto alonga te; tika ete bapagano basamba liboso na Yo!
20 Put them in fear, O Jehovah. Let the nations know themselves to be but men. (Selah)
Yawe, tika ete somo ekanga bango; tika ete bapagano bayeba ete bazali na bango kaka bato!
