Psalms 119
1 Alleluia. Blessed are the immaculate in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
Esengo na bato oyo bazangi pamela mpe batambolaka kolanda mibeko ya Yawe!
2 Blessed are those who examine his testimonies. They seek him with their whole heart.
Esengo na bato oyo babatelaka malako na Ye mpe balukaka Ye na mitema na bango mobimba!
3 For those who work iniquity have not walked in his ways.
Basalaka mabe te, kasi balandaka banzela ya Nzambe.
4 You have ordered your commandments to be kept most diligently.
Opesaki mibeko mpo ete etosama malamu.
5 I wish that my ways may be directed so as to keep your justifications.
Tika ete nabongisa etamboli na ngai mpo ete natosa mitindo na Yo!
6 Then I will not be confounded, when I will look into all your commandments.
Na bongo, nakoyoka soni te tango nakotosa mibeko na Yo nyonso.
7 I will confess to you with honesty of heart. In this way, I have learned the judgments of your justice.
Nakosanzola Yo na motema ya sembo wana nakoyekola mibeko ya bosembo na Yo.
8 I will keep your justifications. Do not utterly abandon me.
Nalingi kotosa mitindo na Yo; kosundola ngai libela te!
9 By what does an adolescent correct his way? By keeping to your words.
Ndenge nini elenge akoki kowumela na nzela ya sembo? Ezali na kotambola kolanda liloba na Yo.
10 With my whole heart, I have sought you. Do not let me be driven away from your commandments.
Nalukaka Yo na motema na ngai mobimba; batela ngai mpo ete napengwa te mosika ya mibeko na Yo!
11 I have hidden your eloquence in my heart, so that I may not sin against you.
Nabatelaka liloba na Yo kati na motema na ngai mpo ete nasala masumu te na miso na Yo.
12 Blessed are you, O Lord. Teach me your justifications.
Yawe, tika ete opambolama! Lakisa ngai mitindo na Yo!
13 With my lips, I have pronounced all the judgments of your mouth.
Na monoko na ngai, natangaka mibeko na Yo nyonso.
14 I have been delighted in the way of your testimonies, as if in all riches.
Nasepelaka kotambola kolanda malako na Yo lokola nde nazali na bomengo nyonso.
15 I will be trained in your commandments, and I will consider your ways.
Nakanisaka malako na Yo mpe natambolaka na banzela na Yo.
16 I will meditate on your justifications. I will not forget your words.
Nasepelaka mingi na malako na Yo mpe nabosanaka liloba na Yo te.
17 Repay your servant, revive me; and I will keep your words.
Salela ngai, mosali na Yo, bolamu mpo ete nabika mpe natosa liloba na Yo.
18 Reveal to my eyes, and I will consider the wonders of your law.
Fungola miso na ngai mpo ete namona kitoko ya mibeko na Yo.
19 I am a sojourner on the earth. Do not hide your commandments from me.
Nazali mopaya awa na mokili; kobombela ngai mibeko na Yo te.
20 My soul has longed to desire your justifications at all times.
Molimo na ngai ezalaka tango nyonso na posa makasi ya koyeba mibeko na Yo.
21 You have rebuked the arrogant. Those who decline from your commandments are accursed.
Otelemelaka bato ya lofundu, bato oyo balakelama mabe mpe bapengwaka mosika ya mibeko na Yo.
22 Take me away from disgrace and contempt, for I have sought your testimonies.
Longola soni mpe kotiolama na bomoi na ngai, pamba te natosaka malako na Yo.
23 For even the leaders sat and spoke against me. But your servant has been trained in your justifications.
Ezala soki bakambi basali likita mpe bayokani kotelemela ngai, mosali na Yo, nakokanisa kaka mitindo na Yo.
24 For your testimonies are also my (meditation) and your justifications are my counsel.
Malako na Yo esepelisaka ngai makasi, epesaka ngai toli.
25 My soul has adhered to the pavement. Revive me according to your word.
Nakangami na putulu; batela bomoi na ngai kolanda liloba na Yo.
26 I have declared my ways, and you have heeded me. Teach me your justifications.
Nayebisaki Yo banzela na ngai, mpe oyanolaki ngai; lakisa ngai mibeko na Yo!
27 Instruct me in the way of your justifications, and I will be trained in your wonders.
Sala ete nasosola nzela ya mitindo na Yo mpo ete nakanisa misala minene na Yo!
28 My soul has slumbered because of weariness. Confirm me in your words.
Nazali kolela mpo na pasi na motema; pesa ngai mpiko kolanda liloba na Yo.
29 Remove the way of iniquity from me, and have mercy on me by your law.
Mema ngai mosika ya nzela ya lokuta; mpe, na boboto na Yo, teya ngai mobeko na Yo.
30 I have chosen the way of truth. I have not forgotten your judgments.
Naponaki nzela ya bosolo; natambolaka kolanda mibeko na Yo.

32 I have run by way of your commandments, when you enlarged my heart.
Nakimaka mbangu kati na nzela ya mibeko na Yo, pamba te opesaka ngai bososoli na yango.
33 O Lord, place the law before me, the way of your justifications, and I will always inquire into it.
Yawe, teya ngai nzela ya mitindo na Yo mpo ete nabatela yango kino na suka.
34 Give me understanding, and I will examine your law. And I will keep it with my whole heart.
Pesa ngai bososoli mpo ete natosa mibeko na Yo mpe nalanda yango na motema na ngai mobimba.
35 Lead me according to the path of your commandments, for I have desired this.
Tambolisa ngai kati na nzela ya mibeko na Yo, pamba te nasepelaka na yango.
36 Bend my heart with your testimonies, and not with avarice.
Sala ete motema na ngai esepela na malako na Yo, kasi na bomengo te!
37 Turn my eyes away, lest they see what is vain. Revive me in your way.
Longola miso na ngai na makambo ya pamba, batela bomoi na ngai kati na banzela na Yo!
38 Station your eloquence with your servant, along with your fear.
Kokisela mosali na Yo bilaka oyo opesaki mpo na bato oyo batosaka Yo.
39 Cut off my disgrace, which I have taken up, for your judgments are delightful.
Longola mosika na ngai soni oyo nabangaka, pamba te mibeko na Yo ezali malamu.
40 Behold, I have longed for your commandments. Revive me in your fairness.
Nasepelaka makasi na mibeko na Yo; batela bomoi na ngai kati na bosembo na Yo!
41 And let your mercy overwhelm me, O Lord: your salvation according to your eloquence.
Yawe, tika ete bolingo ekomela ngai, mpe lobiko na Yo, kolanda elaka na Yo;
42 And I will respond to those who reproach me by word, for I have hoped in your words.
bongo nakokoka kozwa eyano ya kopesa na mofingi na ngai, pamba te natiaka elikya na liloba na Yo.
43 And do not utterly take away the word of truth from my mouth. For in your judgments, I have hoped beyond hope.
Tika ete monoko na ngai elobaka kaka bosolo, pamba te natiaka elikya kati na mibeko na Yo.
44 And I will always keep your law, in this age and forever and ever.
Nakotosa mibeko na Yo tango nyonso, mpe libela na libela.
45 And I have wandered far and wide, because I was seeking your commandments.
Nakobika na bonsomi ya solo, pamba te nasepelaka kotosa mitindo na Yo.
46 And I spoke of your testimonies in the sight of kings, and I was not confounded.
Nakolobela malako na Yo liboso ya bakonzi na kozanga koyoka soni.
47 And I meditated on your commandments, which I loved.
Nasepelaka mingi na mibeko na Yo mpe nalingaka yango mingi.
48 And I lifted up my hands to your commandments, which I loved. And I was trained in your justifications.
Nalapi ndayi mpo na mibeko na Yo, oyo nalingaka, mpe nakokanisa mitindo na Yo.
49 Be mindful of your word to your servant, by which you have given me hope.
Kanisa makambo oyo olobaki na mosali na Yo, pamba te opesaki ngai elikya.
50 This has consoled me in my humiliation, for your word has revived me.
Kati na pasi na ngai, liloba na Yo ebondisaka; batela bomoi na ngai kolanda elaka na Yo.
51 The arrogant act altogether iniquitously, but I have not turned aside from your law.
Solo, bato ya lolendo batiolaki ngai makasi; kasi ngai, natikalaki kopengwa te na mibeko na Yo.
52 I called to mind your judgments of antiquity, O Lord, and I was consoled.
Yawe, tango nakanisaka mikano na Yo ya kala, nazwaka kati na yango kobondisama.
53 Faintness has taken hold of me, because of the sinners, those who abandon your law.
Nayokaka pasi mingi na motema tango namonaka bato mabe kosundola mibeko na Yo.
54 Your justifications were the subject of my worthy singing, in the place of my pilgrimage.
Nakoma koyemba mitindo na Yo na bisika nyonso epai wapi nazali moleki nzela.
55 During the night, I remembered your name, O Lord, and I kept your law.
Yawe, nakanisaka Yo na butu mpo ete nabatela mibeko na Yo;
56 This has happened to me because I sought your justifications.
pamba te libula na ngai ezali: kotosa mibeko na Yo.
57 O Lord, my portion, I have said that I would keep your law.
Yawe, nalobi lisusu ete libula na ngai ezali: kotosa liloba na Yo.
58 I have beseeched your face with my whole heart. Be merciful to me according to your word.
Na motema na ngai mobimba, nalukaka kosepelisa Yo; salela ngai ngolu kolanda bilaka na Yo!
59 I have considered my ways, and I have turned my feet toward your testimonies.
Natali malamu etamboli na ngai mpe namizongisi kati na malako na Yo.
60 I have been prepared, and I have not been disturbed, so that I may keep your commandments.
Natosaka mibeko na Yo noki, nazelisaka te.
61 The ropes of the impious have encircled me, and I have not forgotten your law.
Solo, mitambo ya bato mabe ekangaki ngai, kasi ngai nabosanaki te mibeko na Yo.
62 I arose in the middle of the night to confess to you, over the judgments of your justification.
Na kati-kati ya butu, nalamukaka mpo na kokumisa Yo likolo na mibeko na Yo ya sembo.
63 I am a partaker with all those who fear you and who keep your commandments.
Nazali moninga ya bato nyonso oyo batosaka Yo mpe babatelaka mitindo na Yo.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy. Teach me your justifications.
Yawe, mokili etondi na bolingo na Yo; lakisa ngai mitindo na Yo!
65 You have done well with your servant, O Lord, according to your word.
Yawe, salela mosali na Yo bolamu kolanda liloba na Yo.
66 Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge, for I have trusted your commandments.
Teya ngai bolamu ya bososoli mpe ya mayele, pamba te namipesaka na mibeko na Yo.
67 Before I was humbled, I committed offenses; because of this, I have kept to your word.
Liboso ete obeta ngai, nazalaki mopengwi; kasi sik’oyo, nakomi kotosa liloba na Yo.
68 You are good, so in your goodness teach me your justifications.
Ozali malamu mpe osalaka makambo ya malamu; teya ngai mitindo na Yo!
69 The iniquity of the arrogant has been multiplied over me. Yet I will examine your commandments with all my heart.
Bato ya lolendo bakoselaka ngai makambo; kasi ngai, natosaka mitindo na Yo na motema na ngai mobimba.
70 Their heart has been curdled like milk. Truly, I have meditated on your law.
Mitema na bango ezali mabanga; kasi ngai, nasepelaka na mibeko na Yo.
71 It is good for me that you humbled me, so that I may learn your justifications.
Ezalaki penza malamu mpo na ngai ete obeta ngai, mpo ete nayekola mitindo na Yo.
72 The law of your mouth is good for me, beyond thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Mpo na ngai, mibeko oyo ozwaki mpe osakolaki na monoko na Yo ezali malamu koleka biloko nkoto moko ya wolo mpe ya palata.
73 Your hands have created me and formed me. Give me understanding, and I will learn your commandments.
Osalaki mpe olendisaki ngai na maboko na Yo, pesa ngai mayele mpo ete nayekola mibeko na Yo!
74 Those who fear you will see me, and they will rejoice. For I have greatly hoped in your words.
Tango bato oyo batosaka Yo bamonaka ngai, basepelaka makasi, mpo ete natiaka elikya na liloba na Yo.
75 I know, O Lord, that your judgments are fairness. And in your truth, you have humbled me.
Yawe, nayebi malamu ete mibeko na Yo ezali sembo, mpe ete ezali kaka mpo na bolingo na Yo nde obetaki ngai.
76 Let it be your mercy that consoles me, according to your eloquence to your servant.
Tika ete bolingo na Yo ebondisa ngai, kolanda elaka na Yo epai ya mosali na Yo!
77 Let your compassion draw near to me, and I will live. For your law is my (meditation)
Talisa ngai mawa na Yo mpo ete nabika, pamba te nasepelaka na mibeko na Yo.
78 Let the arrogant be confounded, for unjustly they have done iniquity to me. But I will be trained in your commandments.
Tika ete bato wana ya lofundu, oyo bamonisaka ngai pasi na kozanga tina, bakufa soni! Kasi ngai nakokanisa kaka mibeko na Yo.
79 Let those who fear you turn to me, along with those who know your testimonies.
Tika ete bato oyo batosaka Yo, ba-oyo bayebi malako na Yo, bazongela ngai.
80 Let my heart be immaculate in your justifications, so that I may not be confounded.
Tika ete motema na ngai ezanga pamela mpo na kotosa mitindo na Yo, mpo ete nakufa soni te.
81 My soul has faltered in your salvation, yet in your word, I have hoped beyond hope.
Natondi na posa ya lobiko na Yo, nazali na elikya kati na liloba na Yo.
82 My eyes have failed in your eloquence, saying, “When will you console me?”
Miso na ngai elembi kozela kokokisama ya elaka na Yo; nakomi komituna: « Okobondisa ngai tango nini? »
83 For I have become like a wineskin in the frost. I have not forgotten your justifications.
Nakomi lokola mbeki oyo ezali kokawuka na milinga, nzokande nabosanaka mitindo na Yo te.
84 How many are the days of your servant? When will you bring judgment against those who persecute me?
Mikolo ya bomoi ya mosali na Yo ezali motango boni? Mokolo nini okopesa banyokoli na ngai etumbu?
85 The iniquitous have spoken fables to me. But these are unlike your law.
Bato ya lolendo batimoli mabulu mpo na kokanga ngai, baboyi kotosa mibeko na Yo.
86 All your commandments are truth. They have been persecuting me unjustly: assist me.
Mibeko na Yo nyonso ezali sembo; kasi bazali konyokola ngai kaka pamba; yaka kosunga ngai!
87 They have nearly consumed me on earth. Yet I have not forsaken your commandments.
Etikali moke mpo ete balongola ngai na mokili; kasi atako bongo, nasundoli mibeko na Yo te.
88 Revive me according to your mercy. And I will keep the testimonies of your mouth.
Kati na bolingo na Yo, batela bomoi na ngai mpo ete natosa malako na Yo.
89 O Lord, your word remains firm in heaven, for all eternity.
Yawe, liloba na Yo ezali mpo na seko, epikama kati na likolo;
90 Your truth is from generation to generation. You have founded the earth, and it remains firm.
boyengebene na Yo ekowumela seko na seko. Okela mabele, mpe ezali kaka kino na mokolo ya lelo;
91 By your ordinance, the day perseveres. For all things are in service to you.
opesa mibeko, mpe ezali kaka kino na mokolo ya lelo, pamba te nyonso kati na mokili mobimba epesaka Yo lokumu.
92 If your law had not been my (meditation) then perhaps I would have perished in my humiliation.
Soki nasepelaki na mibeko na Yo te, mbele nakufa kala kati na pasi na ngai.
93 I will not forget your justifications, for eternity. For by them, you have enlivened me.
Nakotikala kobosana ata moke te mitindo na Yo, pamba te obatelaka bomoi na ngai na nzela na yango.
94 I am yours. Accomplish my salvation. For I have inquired into your justifications.
Bikisa ngai, pamba te nazali moto na Yo mpe natosaka mitindo na Yo!
95 The sinners have waited for me, in order to destroy me. I have understood your testimonies.
Bato mabe bazali koluka koboma ngai, kasi ngai nakangami kaka na malako na Yo.
96 I have seen the end of the consummation of all things. Your commandment is exceedingly broad.
Na nyonso oyo emonanaka lokola ya kokoka, namonaki mondelo; kasi mibeko na Yo ezalaka na mondelo te.
97 How have I loved your law, O Lord? It is my meditation all day long.
Nalingaka mibeko na Yo mingi! Nakanisaka yango mikolo nyonso.
98 By your commandment, you have made me able to see far, beyond my enemies. For it is with me for eternity.
Mibeko na Yo ekomisaka ngai moto ya bwanya koleka banguna na ngai; ezalaka elongo na ngai tango nyonso.
99 I have understood beyond all my teachers. For your testimonies are my (meditation)
Naleki balakisi na ngai nyonso na mayele, pamba te nakanisaka malako na Yo.
100 I have understood beyond the elders. For I have searched your commandments.
Naleki mibange na bososoli, pamba te natosaka mibeko na Yo.
101 I have prohibited my feet from every evil way, so that I may keep your words.
Natambolaka te na banzela nyonso ya mabe mpo na kotosa liloba na Yo.
102 I have not declined from your judgments, because you have stationed a law for me.
Nakangamaka na mibeko na Yo, pamba te Yo moko nde oteyaka ngai yango.
103 How sweet is your eloquence to my palate, more so than honey to my mouth!
Tala ndenge mitindo na Yo ezali elengi na monoko na ngai! Ezali malamu koleka mafuta ya nzoyi.
104 I obtained understanding by your commandments. Because of this, I have hated every way of iniquity.
Mitindo na Yo ekomisi ngai moto ya bososoli; yango wana nayinaka nzela nyonso ya mabe.
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my paths.
Liloba na Yo ezali mwinda mpo na makolo na ngai, mpe pole mpo na nzela na ngai.
106 I have sworn it, and so I am determined to keep the judgments of your justice.
Nalapaki ndayi oyo mpe nakokokisa yango: « Nakotosaka mibeko ya bosembo na Yo. »
107 I have been altogether humbled, Lord. Revive me according to your word.
Motema na ngai etutami makasi; Yawe, batela bomoi na ngai kolanda liloba na Yo.
108 Make the willing offerings of my mouth well pleasing, Lord, and teach me your judgments.
Yawe, ndima likabo ya bibebu na ngai, mpe teya ngai mibeko na Yo.
109 My soul is always in my hands, and I have not forgotten your law.
Solo, nakutanaka tango nyonso na makama, kasi nabosanaka mibeko na Yo te.
110 Sinners have set a snare for me, yet I have not strayed from your commandments.
Bato mabe batiaka mitambo mpo ete nakweya, kasi nakangamaka kaka na mibeko na Yo.
111 I have acquired your testimonies as an inheritance unto eternity, because they are the exultation of my heart.
Malako na Yo ezali libula na ngai mpo na libela, esalaka esengo ya motema na ngai.
112 I have inclined my heart to do your justifications for eternity, as a recompense.
Nazwa mokano ya kotambola kolanda mitindo na Yo, tango nyonso, kino na suka.
113 I have hated the iniquitous, and I have loved your law.
Nayinaka bato ya mitema mibale, kasi nalingaka nde mibeko na Yo.
114 You are my helper and my supporter. And in your word, I have greatly hoped.
Ozali ebombamelo mpe nguba na ngai; natiaka elikya kati na liloba na Yo.
115 Turn away from me, you malignant ones. And I will examine the commandments of my God.
Bato ya misala mabe, bokende mosika na ngai! Nakotosa mibeko ya Nzambe na ngai!
116 Uphold me according to your eloquence, and I will live. And let me not be confounded in my expectation.
Sunga ngai kolanda elaka na Yo, mpe nakobika; koyokisa elikya na ngai soni te.
117 Help me, and I will be saved. And I will meditate always on your justifications.
Sunga ngai mpo ete nabika; nakotikala kobosana mitindo na Yo ata moke te.
118 You have despised all those who fell away from your judgments. For their intention is unjust.
Obwakaka bato nyonso oyo bapesaka mitindo na Yo mokongo, pamba te mokano na bango ezalaka ya lokuta.
119 I have considered all the sinners of the earth to be transgressors. Therefore, I have loved your testimonies.
Olongolaka bato nyonso ya mabe ya mokili lokola bosoto; yango wana nalingaka malako na Yo.
120 Pierce my flesh with your fear, for I am afraid of your judgments.
Nalengaka na somo liboso na Yo mpe nabangaka mikano na Yo.
121 I have accomplished judgment and justice. Do not hand me over to those who slander me.
Natambolaka na bosembo mpe bosolo; kokaba ngai na maboko ya banyokoli na ngai te!
122 Uphold your servant in what is good. And do not allow the arrogant to slander me.
Kamata mokumba ya bolamu na ngai, mosali na Yo; tika ete bato ya lolendo banyokola ngai te.
123 My eyes have failed in your salvation and in the eloquence of your justice.
Miso na ngai elembi kozela lisungi kowuta na Yo mpe kokokisama ya bosembo na Yo kolanda elaka na Yo.
124 Deal with your servant according to your mercy, and teach me your justifications.
Salela ngai, mosali na Yo, kolanda bolingo na Yo, lakisa ngai mitindo na Yo.
125 I am your servant. Give me understanding, so that I may know your testimonies.
Nazali mosali na Yo; pesa ngai mayele mpo ete nasosola malako na Yo.
126 It is time to act, O Lord. They have dissipated your law.
Yawe, tango ya kosala ekoki; pamba te bazali kobuka mibeko na Yo!
127 Therefore, I have loved your commandments beyond gold and topaz.
Yango wana nalingaka mibeko na Yo koleka wolo, koleka kutu wolo ya peto;
128 Because of this, I was directed toward all your commandments. I held hatred for every iniquitous way.
namonaka mpe malako na Yo nyonso alima; nzokande, nayinaka lokuta nyonso.
129 Your testimonies are wonderful. Therefore, my soul has been examined by them.
Malako na Yo ezali kitoko, yango wana nabatelaka yango.
130 The declaration of your words illuminates, and it gives understanding to little ones.
Emoniseli ya liloba na Yo engengisaka, epesaka bazoba mayele.
131 I opened my mouth and drew breath, for I desired your commandments.
Monoko na ngai efungwamaka makasi likolo ya kozela, pamba te nazali na posa makasi ya mibeko na Yo.
132 Gaze upon me and be merciful to me, according to the judgment of those who love your name.
Baluka epai na ngai mpe talisa ngai ngolu na Yo kolanda ndenge okata mpo na bato oyo balingaka Kombo na Yo.
133 Direct my steps according to your eloquence, and let no injustice rule over me.
Lendisa bomoi na ngai na nzela ya liloba na Yo mpe pekisa mabe ete ekonza ngai te.
134 Redeem me from the slanders of men, so that I may keep your commandments.
Kangola ngai wuta na minyoko ya bato, mpe nakotosa mibeko na Yo.
135 Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your justifications.
Tika ete elongi na Yo engengela ngai, mosali na Yo; lakisa ngai mibeko na Yo!
136 My eyes have gushed like springs of water, because they have not kept your law.
Miso na ngai ezali kosopa mpinzoli, pamba te mibeko na Yo ezali kotosama te.
137 You are just, O Lord, and your judgment is right.
Yawe, ozali sembo, mpe mibeko na Yo ezali alima;
138 You have commanded justice: your testimonies and your truth even more so.
osalaki malako na Yo na bosembo mpe na bolingo.
139 My zeal has caused me to pine away, because my enemies have forgotten your words.
Mpo ete banguna na ngai bazwaka liloba na Yo na motuya te, nayokaka kanda makasi komata ngai na motema.
140 Your eloquence has been greatly enflamed, and your servant has loved it.
Nzokande liloba na Yo ezali penza peto; mpe ngai, mosali na Yo, nalingaka yango.
141 I am young and treated with contempt. But I have not forgotten your justifications.
Atako nazali moke mpe batiolaka ngai, kasi nabosanaka mitindo na Yo te.
142 Your justice is justice for all eternity, and your law is truth.
Bosembo na Yo ekotikala bongo mpo na libela, ekotikala kobongwana te; mpe mibeko na Yo ezali solo.
143 Tribulation and anguish have found me. Your commandments are my (meditation)
Pasi ekangi ngai, mpe mayele esili ngai; kasi mibeko na Yo epesaka ngai esengo.
144 Your testimonies are fairness unto eternity. Give me understanding, and I will live.
Malako na Yo ezali sembo mpo na libela; pesa ngai bososoli mpo ete nabika!
145 I cried out with my whole heart. Heed me, O Lord. I will ask for your justifications.
Nazali kobelela Yo na motema na ngai mobimba: « Yawe, yanola ngai; nakotosa mitindo na Yo!
146 I cried out to you. Save me, so that I may keep your commandments.
Nazali kobelela Yo: bikisa ngai, mpo ete natosa malako na Yo!
147 I arrived first in maturity, and so I cried out. For in your words, I have hoped beyond hope.
Nalamukaka liboso ete tongo etana mpo na kobelela Yo, nazali na elikya kati na liloba na Yo.
148 My eyes preceded the dawn for you, so that I might meditate on your eloquence.
Nalamukaka na kati-kati ya butu mpo na kokanisa mitindo na Yo.
149 Hear my voice according to your mercy, O Lord. And revive me according to your judgment.
Yoka ngai na bolingo na Yo! Yawe, batela bomoi na ngai kolanda mibeko na Yo!
150 Those who persecute me have drawn near to iniquity, but they have been brought far from your law.
Bato oyo basalaka mabongisi mabe, oyo batosaka mibeko na Yo te, bazali koya pene na ngai.
151 You are near, O Lord, and all your ways are truth.
Nzokande Yo, Yawe, ozali pene, mpe mibeko na Yo nyonso ezali bosolo.
152 I have known from the beginning about your testimonies. For you founded them in eternity.
Wuta kala, ngai nayebi, na nzela ya malako na Yo, ete otia mibeko yango mpo na libela.
153 See my humiliation and rescue me, for I have not forgotten your law.
Mona malamu pasi na ngai mpe kangola ngai, pamba te nabosanaka mibeko na Yo te.
154 Judge my judgment and redeem me. Revive me because of your eloquence.
Kota likambo na ngai mpe kangola ngai, batela bomoi na ngai kolanda elaka na Yo!
155 Salvation is far from sinners, because they have not inquired about your justifications.
Lobiko ezalaka mosika ya bato mabe, pamba te bamonaka pamba mitindo na Yo.
156 Many are your mercies, O Lord. Enliven me according to your judgment.
Yawe, mawa na Yo ezali monene penza; batela bomoi na ngai kolanda mibeko na Yo.
