< Psalms 13 >
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away from me?
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi.
2 How long can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?
Yawe, kino tango nini okobosana ngai mpo na libela? Kino tango nini okobomba elongi na Yo mpo ete namona Yo te?
3 How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
Kino tango nini nakozala mawa-mawa kati na motema na ngai mpe nakomitungisa mikolo nyonso? Kino tango nini monguna na ngai akolonga ngai?
4 Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, tala mpe yanola ngai. Sala ete miso na ngai emona malamu; soki te, nakokufa,
5 lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.
bongo monguna na ngai akoloba: « Nalongi ye, » mpe bayini na ngai bakosepela soki nakweyi.
6 But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.
Kasi ngai, natie elikya na ngai kati na bolingo na Yo, mpe motema na ngai ezali kosepela kati na lobiko na Yo. Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, pamba te asaleli ngai bolamu.
