Psalms 4
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda. Nzambe, bosembo na ngai, soki nabeleli Yo, yanola ngai. Kangola ngai na pasi, salela ngai ngolu, mpe yoka libondeli na ngai.
2 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false? (Pause)
Bino bato, kino tango nini bokoyokisa nkembo na ngai soni? Kino tango nini bokomisepelisa na makambo ya pamba mpe bokolanda makambo ya lokuta?
3 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
Boyeba ete Yawe abulisi mpo na Ye moko mosali oyo azali sembo na miso na Ye; Yawe ayokaka ngai tango nabelelaka Ye.
4 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds. (Pause)
Soki bosiliki, bosalaka masumu te; soki bolali na mbeto, bolukaka kososola makambo mpe bovandaka kimia.
5 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
Bobonzaka bambeka kolanda mibeko mpe botiaka elikya na bino kati na Yawe.
6 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
Bato mingi bazali kotuna: « Nani akomemela biso bolamu? » Oh Yawe, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo.
7 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
Tondisa motema na ngai na esengo soki bafuluki na bambuma ya ble elongo na vino ya sika.
8 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
Nakolala mpe nakozwa pongi na kimia, pamba te, Yo moko Yawe, osalaka ete navanda na kimia.
