Psalms 81
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Azafi. Ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Boganga na esengo epai ya Nzambe, makasi na biso! Bobetela Nzambe ya Jakobi maboko!
2 Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
Boyemba banzembo, bobeta bambunda mike, lindanda oyo ebimisaka lokito kitoko mpe nzenze!
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
Bobeta kelelo na ebandeli ya sanza, na tango oyo sanza mobimba engengaka, mpo na mokolo ya feti na biso!
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Pamba te ezali mobeko mpo na Isalaele, mpe mokano ya Nzambe ya Jakobi.
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
Atiaki yango lokola mobeko mpo na Jozefi tango abundisaki Ejipito. Nazali koyoka lokota oyo nayebi te:
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
« Nalongolaki mokumba oyo ezalaki na mapeka na ye, mpe maboko na ye elongwaki na bowumbu ya kosimba bitunga. »
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
Tango ozalaki koganga mpo na pasi, nakangolaki yo, nayanolaki yo kati na kake epai wapi nabombamaki, namekaki yo pembeni ya mayi ya Meriba.
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
Bato na ngai, boyoka ngai! Mpe nakokebisa bino. Ah Isalaele, soki kaka ozalaki koyokela ngai!
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
Okozala na nzambe ya mopaya te kati na yo, okogumbamela nzambe mosusu te, longola kaka ngai!
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito; fungola malamu monoko na yo, mpe nakotondisa yango.
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
Kasi bato na ngai bayokaki mongongo na ngai te, Isalaele aboyaki kotosa ngai.
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Mpo na yango, natikaki bango kotambola kolanda baposa ya mitema makasi na bango; mpe balandaki makanisi na bango.
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
Soki bato na ngai bazalaki koyokela ngai, soki Isalaele azalaki kolanda banzela na ngai,
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
nalingaki mbala moko koyokisa banguna na bango soni mpe kobundisa bayini na bango.
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
Mpe bato oyo bayinaka Yawe balingaki komikitisa liboso na Ye, mpe etumbu na bango elingaki kowumela mpo na libela.
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
Yawe alingaki koleisa Isalaele bilei ya kitoko mpe kotondisa bango na mafuta ya nzoyi.
