Psalms 18
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said: I will love you, O Lord, my strength.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi, mosali na Yawe. Ayembelaki Yawe nzembo na maloba oyo, tango Yawe akangolaki ye wuta na maboko ya banguna na ye nyonso mpe na loboko ya Saulo. Oh Yawe, makasi na ngai, nalingaka Yo.
2 The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
Yawe azali libanga na ngai, ndako na ngai ya makasi mpe mokangoli na ngai; azali Nzambe na ngai, libanga na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai; azali nguba na ngai, Mobikisi na ngai, mpe ekimelo na ngai.
3 I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
Nabelelaki Yawe oyo abongi na lokumu, mpe nakangolamaki wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
4 The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.
Basinga ya kufa efinaki ngai, mpela ya libebi epesaki ngai somo.
Basinga ya mboka ya bakufi elingaki ngai, mitambo ya kufa ekangaki ngai. (Sheol h7585)
6 And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, [even] into his ears.
Kati na pasi na ngai, nabelelaki Yawe, nagangaki epai ya Nzambe na ngai mpo ete asunga ngai. Yawe ayokaki mongongo na ngai wuta na Tempelo na Ye; koganga na ngai mpo na kosenga lisungi ekomaki kino na matoyi na Ye.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
Mabele ekomaki koningana makasi, miboko ya bangomba elengaki mpe ebukanaki, pamba te Yawe asilikaki.
8 There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.
Milinga ekomaki kobima na zolo na Ye, moto makasi elongo na makala ya moto ekomaki kobima na monoko na Ye.
9 And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.
Yawe afungolaki Lola mpe akitaki; mapata ya mwindo ezalaki na se ya matambe na Ye.
10 And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.
Amataki na likolo ya Sheribe mpe apumbwaki, apepaki na mapapu ya mopepe.
11 And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air.
Akomisaki molili ebombamelo na Ye, kapo na Ye, oyo ezingelaki Ye; mapata minene ezingelaki Ye, mwindo lokola mayi ya mozindo.
12 At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
Kongenga oyo ezalaki liboso na Ye ezalaki kokimisa mapata, konokisa mvula ya mabanga mpe kobimisa makala ya moto.
13 The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.
Yawe agangaki wuta na Lola, mongongo ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo eyokanaki na nzela ya mvula ya mabanga mpe makala ya moto.
14 And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.
Abwakaki makonga na Ye mpe atindaki yango na bangambo nyonso; abakisaki motango ya mikalikali mpo na kopalanganisa yango.
15 And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of your wrath.
Yawe, tango ogangelaki yango, na nzela ya pema na Yo mpe ya milinga ya zolo na Yo, nzela oyo mayi ya ebale elekelaka ebimaki, miboko ya mokili emonanaki na libanda.
16 He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.
Atandaki loboko na Ye wuta na likolo, akamataki ngai mpe abimisaki ngai na likama oyo nazalaki na yango kati na mayi ya mozindo makasi;
17 He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.
akangolaki ngai wuta na maboko ya monguna na ngai ya nguya mpe ya bayini na ngai, pamba te balekaki ngai na makasi.
18 They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against [them].
Babundisaki ngai, na mokolo oyo pasi ezalaki kokanga ngai, kasi Yawe azalaki eyekamelo na ngai.
19 And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.
Abimisaki ngai mpo na kokomisa ngai nsomi, akangolaki ngai, pamba te alingaka ngai.
20 And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.
Yawe asaleli ngai makambo wana kolanda bosembo na ngai, afuti ngai kolanda bopeto ya maboko na ngai;
21 For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.
pamba te nabateli banzela ya Yawe, napesi Nzambe na ngai mokongo te lokola bato mabe.
22 For all his judgements were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.
Natosaka mibeko na Ye nyonso mpe nabatelaka bikateli na Ye.
23 And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.
Epai na Ye, nazalaki moto oyo azangi pamela mpe namibatelaki mpo ete nasala masumu te.
24 And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
Yawe afuti ngai kolanda bosembo na ngai, kolanda bopeto ya maboko na ngai na miso na Ye.
25 With the holy you will be holy; and with the innocent man you will be innocent.
Solo, otalisaka bosembo na Yo epai ya moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo, mpe bolamu na Yo, epai ya moto oyo azangi pamela.
26 And with the excellent [man] you will be excellent; and with the perverse you will show frowardness.
Otalisaka bopeto na Yo epai ya moto ya peto, kasi omibombaka liboso ya moto oyo atambolaka nyoka-nyoka.
27 For you will save the lowly people, and will humble the eyes of the proud.
Yo nde obikisaka banyokolami, okitisaka bato na lofundu.
28 For you, O Lord, will light my lamp: my God, you will lighten my darkness.
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, Yo nde opelisaka mwinda na ngai; obongolaka molili na ngai pole.
29 For by you shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.
Elongo na Yo, nabundisaka mampinga oyo elati bibundeli; mpe na lisungi ya Nzambe na ngai, nakatisaka bamir.
30 [As for] my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.
Nzela ya Nzambe ezali ya kokoka, Liloba na Yawe ezali na mbeba te; azali nguba mpo na bato nyonso oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango.
31 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?
Nani azali Nzambe soki Yawe te? Nani azali libanga soki Nzambe na biso te?
32 [It is] God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:
Nzambe apesaka ngai makasi mpe akomisaka nzela na ngai ya kokoka;
33 who strengthens my feet as hart's feet, and sets me upon high places.
akomisaka makolo na ngai lokola ya mboloko, mpe avandisaka ngai na bisika ya likolo;
34 He instructs my hands for war: and you have made my arms [as] a brazen bow.
alakisaka ngai kobunda, mpe maboko na ngai ekoki kobenda tolotolo ya bronze.
35 And you have made me secure in my salvation: and your right hand has helped me, and your correction has upheld me to the end; yes, your correction itself shall instruct me.
Okomisaka lobiko na Yo nguba na ngai, loboko na Yo ya mobali elendisaka ngai, mpe lisungi na Yo ekomisaka ngai makasi.
36 You has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.
Otambolisaka ngai na kimia, mpe makolo na ngai elengaka te.
37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.
Nalandaka banguna na ngai, mpe nakangaka bango; nazongaka kaka soki nasilisi koboma bango.
38 I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
Nabebisaka bango nye, mpe bakokaka lisusu kotelema te; bakweyaka na se ya matambe na ngai.
39 For you have girded me with strength for war: you have beaten down under me all that rose up against me.
Opesaka ngai makasi ya bitumba, ogumbaka banguna na ngai mpe otiaka bango na se ya matambe na ngai.
40 And you has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and you have destroyed them that hated me.
Okimisaka banguna na ngai mosika na ngai, mpe nabebisaka bayini na ngai.
41 They cried, but there was no deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he listened not to them.
Bagangaka mpo na koluka lisungi, kasi moto oyo akokaki kobikisa bango azalaka te; babelelaka Yawe, kasi ayanolaka bango te.
42 I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
Nanikaka bango lokola putulu oyo mopepe epumbwisaka, nanyataka bango lokola potopoto ya nzela.
43 Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: you shall make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,
Olongisaka ngai na bitumba ya bato, obatelaka ngai mpo ete nazala mokambi ya bikolo. Bato oyo nayebaki te bakomi kosalela ngai.
44 at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
Soki kaka bayoki ngai, batosaka ngai; mpe bapaya bayaka mpo ete nasepela na bango.
45 The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
Bango nyonso balembi nzoto mpe bakomi kobima na kolenga wuta na bandako na bango ya makasi.
46 The Lord lives; and blessed [be] my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Longonya na Yawe! Tika ete Ye oyo azali libanga na ngai akumisama! Tika ete Nzambe ya lobiko na ngai anetolama!
47 [It is] God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;
Azali Nzambe oyo abundelaka ngai, oyo atiaka bikolo na se ya matambe na ngai,
48 my deliverer from angry enemies: you shall set me on high above them that rise up against me: you shall deliver me from the unrighteous man.
oyo akangolaka ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai. Olongisaka ngai liboso ya banguna na ngai, obikisaka ngai na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
49 Therefore will I confess to you, O Lord, amongst the Gentiles, and sing to your name.
Yango wana, nakosanzola Yo, Yawe, kati na bikolo; nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
50 [God] magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
Yawe apesaka elonga monene epai ya mokonzi na Ye, atalisaka bolingo na Ye epai ya mopakolami na Ye, epai ya Davidi mpe epai ya libota na ye, mpo na libela.
