Psalms 3
1 A Psalm. Of David. When he went in flight from Absalom his son. Lord, how greatly are they increased who make attacks on me! in great numbers they come against me.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Ayembaki yango tango azalaki kokima Abisalomi, mwana na ye. Oh Yawe, banguna na ngai bazali motango boni! Banguna boni oyo bazali kobundisa ngai!
2 Unnumbered are those who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Ebele bazali koloba na tina na ngai: « Nzambe akobikisa ye te! »
3 But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.
Nzokande Yo, Yawe, ozali nguba mpe nkembo na ngai, Yo nde omatisaka lokumu na ngai.
4 I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah)
Nabelelaka Yawe, mpe ayanolaka ngai wuta na ngomba na Ye ya bule.
5 I took my rest in sleep, and then again I was awake; for the Lord was my support.
Nalalaka mpe nazwaka pongi; nalamukaka lisusu, pamba te Yawe azali makasi na ngai.
6 I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.
Nakobanga te atako ebele ya bankoto bazingeli ngai na bangambo nyonso.
7 Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.
Yawe, telema! Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai! Beta banguna na ngai nyonso bambata, buka bato mabe minu.
8 Salvation comes from the Lord; your blessing is on your people. (Selah)
Kokangolama na ngai ewutaka na Yawe. Tika ete lipamboli na Yo ewumela kati na bato na Yo.
