Psalms 27
1 A Psalm of David, before he was sealed. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe azali pole mpe lobiko na ngai; nakobanga nani? Yawe azali ndako batonga makasi ya bomoi na ngai; nakolenga liboso ya nani?
2 Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, so as to eat my flesh. Those who trouble me, my enemies, have themselves been weakened and have fallen.
Tango bato mabe babundisaka ngai mpo na koluka kosala ngai mabe, ezali bayini mpe banguna na ngai nde baninganaka mpe bakweyaka.
3 If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, my heart would not fear. If a battle were to rise up against me, I would have hope in this.
Ata limpinga ezingeli ngai, motema na ngai ekobanga soki moke te; ata etumba etelemi mpo na koboma ngai, atako bongo, nakozala kaka na elikya makasi.
4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, and may visit his temple.
Nalukaka eloko moko kowuta na Yawe, eloko moko kaka oyo nasengaka makasi: nalingi kovanda na Tempelo ya Yawe, mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ngai, mpo na kosepelaka na kitoko ya Yawe mpe kosengaka toli na Ye kati na Tempelo na Ye.
5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.
Pamba te, na tango ya pasi, akobatela ngai kati na evandelo na Ye, akobomba ngai kati ya Ndako na Ye ya bule mpe akotelemisa ngai na likolo ya libanga.
6 He has exalted me upon the rock, and now he has exalted my head above my enemies. I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. I will sing, and I will compose a psalm, to the Lord.
Bongo, nakotombola moto na ngai na likolo ya banguna oyo bazingeli ngai; nakobanda kobonza, na se ya lokito ya esengo, bambeka kati Ndako na Ye ya bule; nakobanda koyembela Yawe mpe kobetela Ye mindule.
7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. Have mercy on me, and hear me.
Yawe, yoka mongongo na ngai, soki nabeleli Yo; salela ngai ngolu mpe yanola ngai.
8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. I yearn for your face, O Lord.
Motema na ngai elobi na tina na Yo: « Tala elongi na Ye! » Yawe, nakotala elongi na Yo.
9 Do not turn your face away from me. In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant. Be my helper. Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Savior.
Kopesa ngai mokongo te, kobengana mosali na Yo te na kanda; osungaki ngai. Kotika ngai te, kosundola ngai te, Nzambe, Mobikisi na ngai.
10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, but the Lord has taken me up.
Ata tata mpe mama na ngai basundoli ngai, Yawe akolokota ngai.
11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.
Yawe, lakisa ngai nzela na Yo, tambolisa ngai na nzela ya alima, pamba te banguna na ngai bazali koluka ngai.
12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.
Kotika te ete nakangama na motambo ya bayini na ngai, pamba te batatoli ya lokuta batelemi mpo na kokosela ngai makambo, bazali kobimisa maloba mabe.
13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living.
Nakozalaka na elikya na likambo oyo: nakobika bolamu ya Yawe kati na mokili ya bato ya bomoi.
14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.
Talela Yawe! Zala makasi mpe yika mpiko! Talela Yawe!
