Psalms 7
1 A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Cush, the son of Jemini. O Lord, my God, in you I have hoped. Save me from all those who persecute me, and free me:
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya mawa oyo Davidi ayembelaki Yawe na tina na Kushi, moto ya libota ya Benjame. Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, nabombamaka kati na Yo; bikisa ngai mpe kangola ngai liboso ya bato nyonso oyo balukaka koboma ngai.
2 lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save.
Soki te, bakopasola ngai lokola nkosi mpe bakokata ngai na biteni, mpe moto akozala te mpo na kosunga ngai.
3 O Lord, my God, if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have done this:
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, soki nasalaki makambo oyo bazali kopamela ngai mpo na yango, mpe soki ezali na mabe na maboko na ngai,
4 if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies:
soki nasalaki moninga na ngai mabe, soki nabotolaki na makasi mpe kaka na pamba, biloko ya moyini na ngai;
5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, and drag down my glory into the dust. (Pause)
wana tika ete monguna na ngai alanda mpe akanga ngai, tika ete asakanela bomoi na ngai mpe abebisa lokumu na ngai.
6 Rise up, Lord, in your anger. And be exalted to the borders of my enemies. And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded,
Yawe, telema na kanda na Yo, telemela kotomboka ya banguna na ngai. Nzambe na ngai, telema, kata likambo na ngai.
7 and a congregation of people will surround you. And, because of this, return on high.
Tika ete bikolo esangana zingazinga na Yo, kasi Yo, konza bango wuta na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi.
8 The Lord judges the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice and according to my innocence within me.
Tika ete Yawe asambisa bikolo. Yawe, longisa ngai kolanda bosembo na ngai, kolanda bozangi pamela na ngai, Yo-Oyo-Oleki-Likolo.
9 The wickedness of sinners will be consumed, and you will direct the just: the examiner of hearts and temperaments is God.
Yo Nzambe ya sembo oyo ososolaka mozindo ya mayele mpe ya mitema, sukisa kanza ya bato mabe mpe yikisa moto ya sembo mpiko.
10 Just is my help from the Lord, who saves the upright of heart.
Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo azali nguba na ngai, abikisaka bato ya sembo.
11 God is a just judge, strong and patient. How could he be angry throughout every day?
Nzambe azali Mosambisi ya sembo, asilikaka mikolo nyonso.
12 Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. He has extended his bow and made it ready.
Soki alembisi kanda na Ye te, akopelisa minu ya mopanga na Ye, akobongisa mpe akobeta tolotolo na Ye.
13 And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. He has produced his arrows for those on fire.
Abongisaka bibundeli oyo ebomaka mpe asalaka ete makonga na Ye ekoma kozikisa.
14 Behold him who has given birth to injustice: he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity.
Moto nyonso oyo abongisaka kosala mabe alukaka ndenge nini koyokisa bato pasi mpe abebisaka boyokani;
15 He has opened a pit and enlarged it. And he has fallen into the hole that he made.
atimolaka libulu, kasi ye moko nde akweyaka kati na yango.
16 His sorrow will be turned upon his own head, and his iniquity will descend upon his highest point.
Pasi oyo ayokisaka bato ezongelaka ye moko, mpe mabe na ye ekweyaka na moto na ye moko.
17 I will confess to the Lord according to his justice, and I will sing a psalm to the name of the Lord Most High.
Nakokumisa Yawe mpo na bosembo na Ye, mpe nakosanzola Yawe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo na banzembo.
