Psalms 57
1 For the end. Destroy not: by David, for a memorial, when he fled from the presence of Saul to the cave. Have mercy, upon me, O God, have mercy upon me: for my soul has trusted in you: and in the shadow of your wings will I hope, until the iniquity have passed away.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na nzembo « Koboma te. » Nzembo ya Davidi, tango Saulo azalaki kolanda ye, mpe tango Davidi abombamaki kati na libulu. Oh Nzambe, yokela ngai mawa! Yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazali koluka ebombamelo; nazali koluka ebombamelo na se ya mapapu na Yo, kino tango ya pasi ekoleka.
2 I will cry to God most high; the God who has benefitted me. (Pause)
Nazali koganga epai ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, epai ya Nzambe oyo asalelaka ngai bolamu.
3 He sent from heaven and saved me; he gave to reproach them that trampled on me: God has sent forth his mercy and his truth;
Akotinda wuta na likolo mpe akobikisa ngai, akopamela bato oyo batungisaka ngai. Nzambe akomonisa bolingo mpe boyengebene na Ye.
4 and he has delivered my soul from the midst of [lions']whelps: I lay down to sleep, [though] troubled. [As for] the sons of men, their teeth are arms and [missile] weapons, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Nazali na kati-kati ya bankosi; nalali na kati-kati ya bato oyo babomaka mpe baliaka bato, oyo minu na bango ezali makonga mpe batolotolo, mpe lolemo na bango ezali mopanga ya minu makasi.
5 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Oh Nzambe, tika ete omitombola na likolo ya Lola; tika ete nkembo na Yo ezala awa na mokili mobimba!
6 They have prepared snares for my feet, and have bowed down my soul: they have dug a pit before my face, and fallen into it [themselves]. (Pause)
Batiaki monyama na makolo na ngai mpo ete nakangama, batimolaki libulu liboso na ngai, kasi bango moko nde bakweyaki kati na libulu yango.
7 My heart, O God, [is] ready, my heart [is] ready: I will sing, yes will sing psalms.
Nzambe, lendisa motema na ngai; Nzambe, lendisa motema na ngai. Nakoyembela Yo mpe nakosanzola Yo na mindule.
8 Awake, my glory; awake, lute and harp: I will awake early.
Lokumu na ngai, lamuka! Lindanda mpe nzenze, bolamuka! Nalingi kolamusa tongo.
9 O Lord, I will give thanks to you amongst the nations: I will sing to you amongst the Gentiles.
Nkolo, nakosanzola Yo kati na mabota, nakosanzola Yo na mindule kati na bikolo.
10 For your mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and your truth to the clouds.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali monene, ekenda kino na Lola; mpe bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na mapata.
11 Be you exalted, O God, above the heavens; and your glory above all the earth.
Nzambe, tika ete omitombola na likolo ya Lola; mpe tika ete nkembo na Yo etonda na mokili mobimba!
