< Psalms 22 >

1 For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi, ya koyemba lokola nzembo na kombo « Mboloko ya tongo. » Nzambe na ngai, Nzambe na ngai, mpo na nini osundoli ngai? Mpo na nini otelemi mosika? Mpo na nini ozali kobikisa ngai te? Mpo na nini ozali koyoka te koganga na ngai?
2 I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
Nzambe na ngai, na moyi, nabeleli Yo, kasi oyanoli ngai te; na butu, nabeleli lisusu, mpe natikali kovanda nye te.
3 Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
Nzokande, ozali Mosantu, ovandaka na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi, kati na masanzoli ya Isalaele.
4 In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.
Batata na biso batiaki elikya na bango kati na Yo, bamipesaki epai na Yo, mpe okangolaki bango.
5 They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
Bagangaki epai na Yo, mpe Yo okangolaki bango; batiaki elikya na bango kati na Yo mpe bayokisamaki soni te.
6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
Nazali lisusu moto te, kasi mutsopi; bato nyonso bazali kofinga mpe kotiola ngai.
7 All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
Bato nyonso oyo bazali komona ngai bazali koseka ngai, bazali kokamwa, koningisa mito mpe koloba:
8 “He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”
« Atiaka motema na ye epai na Yawe; tika ete Yawe abikisa ye! Tika ete Yawe akangola ye, pamba te asepelaka na Ye! »
9 Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
Solo, Yawe, obimisaki ngai na libumu ya mama na ngai, obatelaki ngai na kimia na tolo na ye.
10 From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
Wuta mbotama na ngai, batikaki ngai na maboko na Yo; wuta libumu ya mama na ngai, ozali Nzambe na ngai.
11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
Kozala mosika na ngai te, pamba te pasi ekomi pene mpe nazangi moto oyo akosunga ngai.
12 Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
Banguna na ngai bazingeli ngai lokola lisanga ya bangombe ya mibali, bazingeli ngai lokola banyama mabe oyo ezalaka na Bashani;
13 They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.
mpe bafungoleli ngai makasi minoko na bango lokola nkosi oyo etomboki mpe ezali kolia nyama.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.
Nakomi lokola mayi oyo ezali kosopana, mpe mikuwa na ngai nyonso ekabwani; motema na ngai ekomi lokola mafuta oyo ezali konyangwama kati na ngai.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.
Makasi na ngai ekawuki lokola potopoto, mpe nazali kokoka lisusu koloba te; otie ngai pembeni ya lilita.
16 For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.
Bambwa ezingeli ngai, ngulupa ya bato mabe bayei kobundisa ngai, bazali kotambola zingazinga na ngai; bakangi maboko mpe makolo na ngai na basinga.
17 I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.
Nakoki sik’oyo kotanga ata mikuwa na ngai nyonso; kasi bato bazali kotala mpe koseka ngai,
18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
bazali kokabola bilamba na ngai mpe kobeta zeke mpo na nzambala na ngai.
19 But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
Kasi Yo, Yawe, kozala mosika te! Ozali makasi na ngai; yaka noki kosunga ngai.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.
Bikisa bomoi na ngai liboso ya mopanga, mpe kangola yango wuta na manzaka ya bambwa.
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
Bikisa ngai wuta na monoko ya nkosi mpe na maseke ya mpakasa.
22 I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.
Nakotatola Kombo na Yo epai ya bandeko na ngai, mpe nakokumisa Yo kati na mayangani.
23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
Bino bato oyo botosaka Yawe, bosanzola Ye! Bino nyonso bana ya Jakobi, bopesa Ye lokumu! Bino nyonso bana ya Isalaele, botosa Ye!
24 For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.
Pamba te Yawe atiolaki te mpe abwakaki te mobola; apesaka ye mokongo te mpe ayokaka ye tango asengaka lisungi.
25 My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
Na ngolu na Yo, nakumisaka Yo kati na mayangani, nakokisaka bandayi na ngai na miso ya bato oyo batosaka Yo.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!
Babola bakolia mpe bakotonda; bato oyo balukaka Yawe bakosanzola Ye. Tika ete bozala na bomoi libela na libela.
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.
Mokili mobimba ekokanisa Yawe, ekomipesa epai na Ye; mpe bituka nyonso ya bikolo ekogumbama liboso na Ye.
28 For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.
Pamba te Yawe azali Mokonzi, azali kokonza bikolo.
29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him— even those unable to preserve their lives.
Bazwi nyonso ya mokili bakolia mpe bakogumbamela Ye; bato nyonso oyo bazali kokende na kunda, ba-oyo bakoki te komibatela na bomoi, bakogumbama liboso na Ye.
30 Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.
Bakitani na bango bakosalela Yawe mpe bakopanza sango na Ye epai ya ekeke oyo ekoya na sima;
31 They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn— all that He has done.
bakosakola misala ya bosembo na Ye, epai ya bato oyo bakobotama.
