Psalms 50
1 A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods, the Lord has spoken, and he has called the earth, from the rising of the sun even to its setting,
Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe ya banzambe, Yawe alobi, abengi mokili wuta na epai moyi ebimaka kino na epai elalaka.
2 from Zion, the brilliance of his beauty.
Wuta na Siona, mboka kitoko, Nzambe azali kongenga lokola moyi.
3 God will arrive manifestly. Our God also will not keep silence. A fire will flare up in his sight, and a mighty tempest will surround him.
Tika ete Nzambe na biso aya! Tika ete akanga monoko te! Liboso na Ye, moto makasi ezali kozikisa; mpe zingazinga na Ye, mopepe makasi ezali kopepa.
4 He will call to heaven from above, and to the earth, to discern his people.
Abengi Likolo, kuna na likolo, mpe mabele mpo na kokata makambo ya bato na Ye.
5 Gather his holy ones to him, you who order his covenant above sacrifices.
Alobi: « Bosangisela ngai bayengebene na ngai, ba-oyo basalaki Boyokani elongo na ngai na nzela ya mbeka. »
6 And the heavens will announce his justice. For God is the judge.
Likolo ekopanza sango ya bosembo na Ye, pamba te azali Nzambe ya bosembo.
7 Listen, my people, and I will speak. Listen, Israel, and I will testify for you. I am God, your God.
Bino bato na ngai, boyoka; nazali koloba na bino! Isalaele, nakoloba mpo na kotelemela yo: « Ngai Nzambe, nazali Nzambe na yo. »
8 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices. Moreover, your holocausts are ever in my sight.
Nakopamela yo te na tina na bambeka na yo, pamba te bambeka na yo ya kotumba ezalaka tango nyonso liboso na ngai.
9 I will not accept calves from your house, nor he-goats from your flocks.
Nakozwa ngombe te kati na ndako na yo to ntaba mobali kati na etonga na yo ya bibwele,
10 For all the wild beasts of the forest are mine: the cattle on the hills and the oxen.
pamba te banyama nyonso ya zamba ezali ya ngai; ezala ata ebele ya banyama oyo ezali kati na bangomba, nyonso ezali ya ngai.
11 I know all the flying things of the air, and the beauty of the field is with me.
Nayebi bandeke nyonso ya bangomba; mpe banyama ya bilanga ezali ya ngai.
12 If I should be hungry, I would not tell you: for the whole world is mine, and all its plentitude.
Soki nazalaki na nzala, nalingaki koyebisa yo te, pamba te mokili mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ezali ya ngai.
13 Shall I gnaw on the flesh of bulls? Or would I drink the blood of goats?
Boni, okanisi penza ete ngai naliaka misuni ya bangombe to namelaka makila ya bantaba?
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of praise, and pay your vows to the Most High.
Bonzelaka Nzambe matondi lokola mbeka, mpe kokisaka bandayi na yo epai ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo.
15 And call upon me in the day of tribulation. I will rescue you, and you will honor me.
Mpe belela ngai na tango ya pasi; nakokangola yo, mpe okopesa ngai nkembo.
16 But to the sinner, God has said: Why do you discourse on my justices, and take up my covenant through your mouth?
Nzambe alobi na moto mabe: « Mpo na nini opanzaka sango ya mibeko na ngai mpe olobaka na tina na Boyokani na ngai?
17 Truly, you have hated discipline, and you have cast my sermons behind you.
Nzokande oyinaka malako na ngai mpe oyokaka te maloba na ngai?
18 If you saw a thief, you ran with him, and you have placed your portion with adulterers.
Soki omoni moyibi, wana nde osepeli; mpe ovandaka esika moko na bato na bikobo.
19 Your mouth has abounded with malice, and your tongue has concocted deceits.
Otikaka monoko na yo kosala mabe, lolemo na yo ebimisaka kaka lokuta.
20 Sitting, you spoke against your brother, and you set up a scandal against your mother’s son.
Ovandaka mpo na kotonga ndeko na yo, mpe obebisaka lokumu ya bana ya mama na yo.
21 These things you have done, and I was silent. You thought, unjustly, that I ought to be like you. But I will reprove you, and I will set myself against your face.
Yango nde makambo oyo ozalaki kosala; mpe ngai nabatelaki kimia. Okanisi penza ete ngai nazali lokola yo? Nakopamela yo mpe nakotanda makambo nyonso oyo nazwa yo na miso na yo.
22 Understand these things, you who forget God; lest at any time, he might quickly take you away, and there would be no one to rescue you.
Bino bato oyo bozali kobosana Nzambe, nabondeli bino: bososola makambo oyo; noki te nakobebisa bino, mpe moto moko te akokangola bino.
23 The sacrifice of praise will honor me. And in that place is the journey by which I will reveal to him the salvation of God.
Moto oyo abonzaka matondi lokola mbeka, apesaka ngai lokumu; mpe moto oyo asalaka keba na etamboli na ye, nakotalisa ye lobiko ya Nzambe. »
