< Psalms 88 >

1 A song of a Psalm for the sons of Core for the end, upon Maeleth for responsive [strains], of instruction for Aeman the Israelite. O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried by day and in the night before you.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Ezali ya koyemba na flite. Nzembo ya Emani, moto ya Ezera. Yawe, ozali Nzambe; Yo nde obikisaka ngai! Butu mpe moyi, nagangaka epai na Yo!
2 Let my prayer come in before you; incline your ear to my supplication, O Lord.
Tika ete losambo na ngai ekoma epai na Yo; Yoka koganga na ngai!
3 For my soul is filled with troubles, and my life has drawn near to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
Pamba te bomoi na ngai etondi na pasi mpe nakomi pene ya kokufa. (Sheol h7585)
4 I have been reckoned with them that go down to the pit; I became as a man without help;
Batie ngai na molongo ya bato oyo bazali kokende na kunda; nakeseni ata moke te na moto oyo azali lisusu na makasi te.
5 free amongst the dead, as the slain ones cast out, who sleep in the tomb; whom you remember no more; and they are rejected from your hand.
Nakomi moko kati na bakufi, lokola bato oyo basila kokufa na bitumba mpe bazali sik’oyo kati na kunda, lokola bato oyo okanisaka lisusu te, pamba te obatelaka bango lisusu te.
6 They laid me in the lowest pit, in dark [places], and in the shadow of death.
Obwaki ngai na libulu ya mozindo makasi, kati na mozindo ya molili.
7 Your wrath has pressed heavily upon me, and you have brought upon me all your billows. (Pause)
Kanda na Yo ya makasi ekweyeli ngai, bambonge na yango nyonso ezali konyokola ngai.
8 You have removed my acquaintance far from me; they have made me an abomination to themselves; I have been delivered up, and have not gone forth.
Okaboli ngai na balingami na ngai ya motema, okomisi ngai eloko ya nkele na miso na bango; nakomi lokola mokangami kati na boloko, nakoki kobima te!
9 Mine eyes are dimmed from poverty; but I cried to you, O Lord, all the day; I spread forth my hands to you.
Miso na ngai ezali komona lisusu te mpo na pasi; nzokande nabelelaka Yo, Yawe, mikolo nyonso, natombolaka maboko na ngai epai na Yo!
10 Will you work wonders for the dead? or shall physicians raise [them] up, that they shall praise you?
Boni, okosala bikamwa mpo na bakufi? Boni, bakufi bakoki kotelema mpo na kosanzola Yo?
11 Shall any one declare your mercy in the tomb? and your truth in destruction?
Boni, bolingo na Yo etatolamaka kati na kunda, mpe bosembo na Yo, kati na mboka ya bakufi?
12 Shall your wonders be known in darkness? and your righteousness in a forgotten land?
Boni, bikamwa na Yo eyebani kati na molili, mpe bosembo na Yo, kati na mokili ya bato oyo babosana?
13 But I cried to you, O Lord; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent you.
Kasi ngai, nazali kobelela nde Yo, Yawe; nabondelaka Yo tongo nyonso.
14 Therefore, O Lord, do you reject my prayer, [and] turn your face away from me?
Yawe, mpo na nini kobwaka ngai mpe kobombela ngai elongi na Yo?
15 I am poor and in troubles from my youth; and having been exalted, I was brought low and into despair.
Wuta bolenge na ngai, nazali mobola mpe moto na pasi; mpe okweyiselaka ngai makambo na Yo ya somo! Solo, elikya esili ngai!
16 Your wrath has passed over me; and your terrors have greatly disquieted me.
Kanda makasi na Yo ebetaka ngai, minyoko oyo ewutaka epai na Yo ekomisaka ngai moto pamba.
17 They compassed me like water; all the day they beset me together.
Ezingelaka ngai mikolo nyonso, lokola mayi, na bangambo nyonso.
18 You have put far from me [every] friend, and mine acquaintances because of [my] wretchedness.
Okaboli ngai na baninga mpe balingami na ngai, natikali na moninga kaka moko ya motema: molili!
