< Psalms 70 >
1 For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi mpo na kokanisa misala ya Nzambe. Nzambe, yaka noki mpo na kangola ngai! Yawe, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai!
2 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
Tika ete bato oyo balukaka kufa na ngai bakufa soni mpe basambwa! Tika ete bato oyo bazelaka libebi na ngai bazonga sima mpe bayokisama soni!
3 May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.
Tika ete bato oyo balobaka na ngai: « Ah! Ah! » bazonga mpo na soni!
4 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”
Tika ete bato nyonso oyo balukaka Yo batonda na esengo mpe basepela kati na Yo! Tika ete ba-oyo balingaka lobiko na Yo balobaka tango nyonso: « Nzambe azali monene! »
5 But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
Mpo ete nazali mobola mpe moto akelela, Nzambe, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai. Yawe, ozali Lisungi mpe Mokangoli na ngai, kowumela te!
