< Psalms 52 >

1 For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech. Why dost thou, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [thy] mischief? All the day
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki tango Doegi, moto ya Edomi, akendeki koyebisa Saulo ete Davidi akoti na ndako ya Ayimeleki. Yo elombe, mpo na nini ozali komikumisa na tina na mabe? Bolingo ya Nzambe emonanaka mikolo nyonso.
2 thy tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor thou hast wrought deceit.
Yo oyo otambolaka na lokuta, lolemo na yo esalaka mabongisi ya libebi, ekosaka lokola mbeli bapelisa malamu.
3 Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause)
Olingaka mabe koleka bolamu, lokuta koleka koloba bosolo.
4 Thou has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.
Oh lolemo ya lokuta, olingaka maloba nyonso oyo epanzaka.
5 Therefore may God destroy thee for ever, may he pluck thee up and utterly remove thee from [thy] dwelling, and thy root from the land of the living. (Pause)
Solo, Ye moko Nzambe akobebisa yo mpo na libela, akokanga yo kati na ndako na yo, akobwaka yo libanda mpe akopikola yo na mokili ya bato ya bomoi.
6 And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,
Bato ya sembo bakomona mpe bakokoma na somo, bakotiola ye na maloba oyo:
7 Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.
« Tala moto oyo azalaki te kozwa Nzambe lokola ebombamelo na ye, azalaki kotiela bozwi na ye motema, mpe kobakisa makasi na ye na nzela ya kobebisa bato mosusu. »
8 But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.
Kasi ngai, kati na Ndako na Yo, nazali lokola nzete ya olive oyo etondi na makasa ya mobesu; natiaka tango nyonso elikya na ngai kati na bolingo monene ya Nzambe, mpo na libela.
9 I will give thanks to thee for ever, for thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before the saints.
Nakosanzola Yo mikolo nyonso, mpo na oyo osali; mpe nazalaka na elikya kati na Kombo na Yo, pamba te ozali malamu mpo na bayengebene na Yo.
