Psalms 4
1 For the End, a Song of David amongst [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: you have made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and listen to my prayer.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda. Nzambe, bosembo na ngai, soki nabeleli Yo, yanola ngai. Kangola ngai na pasi, salela ngai ngolu, mpe yoka libondeli na ngai.
2 O you sons of men, how long [will you be] slow of heart? therefore do you love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
Bino bato, kino tango nini bokoyokisa nkembo na ngai soni? Kino tango nini bokomisepelisa na makambo ya pamba mpe bokolanda makambo ya lokuta?
3 But know you that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
Boyeba ete Yawe abulisi mpo na Ye moko mosali oyo azali sembo na miso na Ye; Yawe ayokaka ngai tango nabelelaka Ye.
4 Be you angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what you say in your hearts. (Pause)
Soki bosiliki, bosalaka masumu te; soki bolali na mbeto, bolukaka kososola makambo mpe bovandaka kimia.
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
Bobonzaka bambeka kolanda mibeko mpe botiaka elikya na bino kati na Yawe.
6 Many say, Who will show us good things? the light of your countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
Bato mingi bazali kotuna: « Nani akomemela biso bolamu? » Oh Yawe, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo.
7 You have put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
Tondisa motema na ngai na esengo soki bafuluki na bambuma ya ble elongo na vino ya sika.
8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for you, Lord, only have caused me to dwell securely.
Nakolala mpe nakozwa pongi na kimia, pamba te, Yo moko Yawe, osalaka ete navanda na kimia.
