Psalms 26
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Judge me, Lord, for I have been walking in my innocence, and by hoping in the Lord, I will not be weakened.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, longisa ngai na miso ya basambisi, pamba te natambolaka na bosembo; natielaka Yawe motema, nakozonga sima te.
2 Examine me, Lord, and test me: enkindle my temperament and my heart.
Yawe, tala ngai malamu mpe meka ngai, sosola motema mpe makanisi na ngai,
3 For your mercy is before my eyes, and I am serene in your truth.
pamba te napengwaka te liboso ya bolingo na Yo mpe nabikaka bomoi na ngai kolanda bosembo na Yo.
4 I have not sat with the council of emptiness, and I will not enter with those who carry out injustice.
Navandaka esika moko te na bakosi, natambolaka nzela moko te na bato ya mitema mibale.
5 I have hated the assembly of the malicious; and I will not sit with the impious.
Nayinaka kosangana elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe navandaka te esika moko na bato mabe.
6 I will wash my hands among the innocent, and I will surround your altar, O Lord,
Yawe, nasukoli maboko na ngai mpo na kolakisa ete nasali mabe te, mpe nabandi na etumbelo na Yo,
7 so that I may hear the voice of your praise and describe all your wonders.
mpo na kozongisela Yo matondi mpe kotatola misala minene na Yo.
8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house and the dwelling place of your glory.
Yawe, nasepelaka na Tempelo epai wapi ovandaka elongo na nkembo na Yo.
9 O God, do not let my soul perish with the impious, nor my life with the men of blood,
Kolongola te molimo na ngai nzela moko na bato ya masumu, bomoi na ngai elongo na basopi makila,
10 in whose hands are iniquities: their right hand has been filled by bribes.
oyo maboko na bango etondi na makila, mpe maboko na bango ya mibali etondi na kanyaka.
11 But as for me, I have been walking in my innocence. Redeem me, and have mercy on me.
Natambolaka na bomoi ya bosembo; kangola ngai mpe salela ngai ngolu.
12 My foot has stood firm in the straight path. In the churches, I will bless you, O Lord.
Makolo na ngai etambolaka na nzela ya alima; nakopambola Yawe kati na mayangani ya monene.
