Psalms 34
1 Of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Ayembaki yango tango akosanaki liboma liboso ya Abimeleki oyo abenganaki ye, mpe akendeki. Nakopambola Yawe tango nyonso, nakokumisa Ye mikolo nyonso na bibebu na ngai.
2 My soul boasts in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice.
Tika ete bomoi na ngai emikumisa kati na Yawe; tika ete banyokolami bayoka mpe basepela!
3 Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.
Boya kosakola elongo na ngai ete Yawe azali monene! Tonetola Kombo na Ye, biso nyonso.
4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.
Nalukaki Yawe, mpe ayanolaki ngai; akangolaki ngai na somo na ngai nyonso.
5 Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.
Bato oyo batalaka epai na Ye bangengaka na esengo, mpe bayokisamaka soni ata moke te.
6 This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him; He saved him from all his troubles.
Mobola agangaki, mpe Yawe ayokaka ye; abikisaki ye na pasi na ye nyonso.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.
Anjelu ya Yawe atongaka molako na ye zingazinga ya bato oyo batosaka Yawe, mpe akangolaka bango.
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
Bomeka elengi mpe botala ndenge nini Yawe azali malamu; Esengo na moto oyo azwaka Yawe lokola ebombamelo na ye!
9 Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
Bino basantu ya Yawe, botosa Yawe; pamba te bato oyo batosaka Ye bazangaka eloko moko te.
10 Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
Bana ya nkosi ezangaka mpe ekufaka nzala, kasi bato oyo balukaka Yawe bakozanga eloko moko.
11 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Bana na ngai, boya, boyoka ngai; Nakolakisa bino kotosa Yawe.
12 Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?
Nani asepelaka na bomoi? Nani alingaka kobika mikolo ebele ya esengo?
13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.
Batela lolemo na yo mosika na mabe, mpe bibebu na yo ete eloba lokuta te.
14 Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
Zala mosika na mabe mpe sala bolamu, luka kimia mpe koba na yango.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.
Miso ya Yawe etalaka bato ya sembo, mpe matoyi na Ye eyokaka koganga na bango;
16 But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.
kasi Yawe apesaka bato mabe mokongo mpo ete bakanisa bango lisusu te kati na mokili.
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles.
Tango bato ya sembo babelelaka, Yawe ayokaka mpe akangolaka bango na pasi na bango nyonso.
18 The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.
Yawe azali pene ya bato oyo bazoki na mitema mpe abikisaka ba-oyo balembi na milimo na bango.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.
Pasi mingi ekangaka moto ya sembo, kasi Yawe akangolaka ye na nyonso,
20 He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.
abatelaka mikuwa na ye nyonso mpo ete moko te kati na yango ebukana.
21 Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned.
Mabe ebomaka moto mabe, mpe bayini ya moto ya sembo bakozwa etumbu.
22 The LORD redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
Yawe akangolaka bomoi ya basali na Ye; mpe bato nyonso oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango bakozwa etumbu te.
