Psalms 81
1 For the end, a Psalm for Asaph, concerning the wine presses. Rejoice you in God our helper; shout aloud to the God of Jacob.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Azafi. Ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Boganga na esengo epai ya Nzambe, makasi na biso! Bobetela Nzambe ya Jakobi maboko!
2 Take a psalm, and produce the timbrel, the pleasant lute with the harp.
Boyemba banzembo, bobeta bambunda mike, lindanda oyo ebimisaka lokito kitoko mpe nzenze!
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.
Bobeta kelelo na ebandeli ya sanza, na tango oyo sanza mobimba engengaka, mpo na mokolo ya feti na biso!
4 For [this] is an ordinance for Israel, and a statute of the God of Jacob.
Pamba te ezali mobeko mpo na Isalaele, mpe mokano ya Nzambe ya Jakobi.
5 He made it [to be] a testimony in Joseph, when he came forth out of the land of Egypt: he heard a language which he understood not.
Atiaki yango lokola mobeko mpo na Jozefi tango abundisaki Ejipito. Nazali koyoka lokota oyo nayebi te:
6 He removed his back from burdens: his hands slaved in making the baskets.
« Nalongolaki mokumba oyo ezalaki na mapeka na ye, mpe maboko na ye elongwaki na bowumbu ya kosimba bitunga. »
7 You did call upon me in trouble, and I delivered you; I heard you in the secret place of the storm: I proved you at the water of Strife. (Pause)
Tango ozalaki koganga mpo na pasi, nakangolaki yo, nayanolaki yo kati na kake epai wapi nabombamaki, namekaki yo pembeni ya mayi ya Meriba.
8 Hear, my people, and I will speak to you, O Israel; and I will testify to you: if you will listen to me;
Bato na ngai, boyoka ngai! Mpe nakokebisa bino. Ah Isalaele, soki kaka ozalaki koyokela ngai!
9 there shall be no new god in you; neither shall you worship a strange god.
Okozala na nzambe ya mopaya te kati na yo, okogumbamela nzambe mosusu te, longola kaka ngai!
10 For I am the Lord your God, that brought you out of the land of Egypt: open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito; fungola malamu monoko na yo, mpe nakotondisa yango.
11 But my people listened not to my voice; and Israel gave no heed to me.
Kasi bato na ngai bayokaki mongongo na ngai te, Isalaele aboyaki kotosa ngai.
12 So I let them go after the ways of their own hearts: they will go on in their own ways.
Mpo na yango, natikaki bango kotambola kolanda baposa ya mitema makasi na bango; mpe balandaki makanisi na bango.
13 If my people had listened to me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
Soki bato na ngai bazalaki koyokela ngai, soki Isalaele azalaki kolanda banzela na ngai,
14 I should have put down their enemies very quickly, and should have laid my hand upon those that afflicted them.
nalingaki mbala moko koyokisa banguna na bango soni mpe kobundisa bayini na bango.
15 The Lord's enemies [should have] lied to him: but their time shall be for ever.
Mpe bato oyo bayinaka Yawe balingaki komikitisa liboso na Ye, mpe etumbu na bango elingaki kowumela mpo na libela.
16 And he fed them with the fat of wheat; and satisfied them with honey out of the rock.
Yawe alingaki koleisa Isalaele bilei ya kitoko mpe kotondisa bango na mafuta ya nzoyi.
