Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. O Lord, I have cried to thee; hear me: attend to the voice of my supplication, when I cry to thee.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, nazali kobelela Yo; yaka noki epai na ngai! Yoka mongongo na ngai, wana nazali kobelela Yo!
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; the lifting up of my hands [as] an evening sacrifice.
Liboso na Yo, tika ete libondeli na ngai ezala lokola mbeka ya malasi, mpe botombwami ya maboko na ngai ezala lokola mbeka ya pokwa!
3 Set a watch, O Lord, on my mouth, and a strong door about by lips.
Yawe, kengela monoko na ngai, batela malamu ekuke ya bibebu na ngai!
4 Incline not my heart to evil things, to employ pretexts for sins, with me who work iniquity: and I will not. let me not unite with their choice ones.
Kotindika motema na ngai te na mabe, mpo ete namipesa te na mobulu elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe nalia bilei te elongo na bango.
5 The righteous shall chasten me with mercy, and reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head: for yet shall my prayer also be in their pleasures.
Soki moto ya sembo abeti ngai, ezali elembo ya bolingo; soki apameli ngai, ezali mafuta na moto na ngai; moto na ngai ekoboya yango te. Kasi libondeli na ngai ekotelemelaka bato ya misala mabe.
6 Their mighty ones have been swallowed up near the rock: they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
Tika ete bilombe na bango babwakama na mabanga; na bongo, maloba na ngai ekoyokana, pamba te ezali kitoko.
7 As a lump of earth is crushed upon the ground, our bones have been scattered by the [mouth of] the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Lokola tango babalolaka mpe batimolaka mabele, mikuwa na biso epanzani liboso ya mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
8 For mine eyes are to thee, O Lord God: I have hoped in thee; take not away my life.
Yawe, Nkolo na ngai, miso na ngai ebaluki mpo na kotala Yo; nazali kobombama kati na Yo, kotindika ngai na kufa te!
9 Keep me from the snare which they have set for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.
Batela ngai mpo ete nakangama te na motambo na bango mpe nakweya te na mabulu ya bato ya misala mabe.
10 Sinners shall fall by their own net: I am alone until I shall escape.
Tika ete bato mabe bakangama na mitambo na bango moko, mpe ete ngai naleka na kimia!
