< Psalms 32 >
1 The understanding of David himself. Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven and whose sins have been covered.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Esengo na moto oyo mabe na ye elimbisami, mpe masumu na ye elongwe!
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Esengo na moto oyo Yawe atangelaka lisumu te, mpe atambolaka na lokuta te.
3 Because I was silent, my bones grew old, while still I cried out all day long.
Lokola nazalaki kondima mabe na ngai te, nazalaki tango nyonso kolela mpo na pasi.
4 For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.
Butu mpe moyi, loboko na Yo ezalaki kofinafina ngai; makasi na ngai ekomaki kosila ndenge makasa ekawukaka na eleko ya moyi.
5 I have acknowledged my offense to you, and I have not concealed my injustice. I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” and you forgave the impiety of my sin.
Tango nandimaki masumu na ngai mpe nabombaki mabe na ngai te, nalobaki: « Nakotubela masumu na ngai liboso ya Yawe. » Bongo Yo olimbisaki mabe mpe masumu na ngai.
6 For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you in due time. Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, they will not draw near to him.
Boye, tika ete bayengebene nyonso basambelaka Yo na tango ya malamu! Soki mayi minene etomboki, bambonge na yango ekozwa bango te.
7 You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
Ozali ebombamelo na ngai; obatelaka ngai mpo ete pasi ekanga ngai te mpe ozingelaka ngai na banzembo ya kokangolama.
8 I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. I will fix my eyes upon you.
Olobaki: « Nakopesa yo malako mpe nakolakisa yo nzela ya kolanda; nakopesa yo toli mpe nakosenzela yo.
9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, which have no understanding. Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, so as not to draw near to you.
Kozala te lokola mpunda to lokola mile ezanga bososoli, oyo bakangaka nguya na yango na nzela ya ebende mpe ya singa oyo batiaka na minoko na yango mpo na kopekisa yango kopusana pene na yo. »
10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.
Bato mabe bazali na pasi mingi, kasi bolamu ya Yawe ezingelaka bato oyo batiaka elikya na Yawe.
11 Rejoice in the Lord and exult, you just ones, and glory, all you upright of heart.
Bino bato ya sembo, bosepela kati na Yawe, bozala na esengo! Bino nyonso oyo bozali na mitema alima, bobeta milolo ya esengo.
