< Psalms 79 >

1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the Gentiles have entered into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple. They have set Jerusalem as a place to tend fruit trees.
Nzembo ya Azafi. Oh Nzambe, tala ndenge bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bakoti na makasi kati na libula na Yo, bakomisi Esika na Yo ya bule mbindo, mpe bakomisi Yelusalemi mipiku ya mabanga!
2 They have placed the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints for the beasts of the earth.
Bapesi bibembe ya basali na Yo lokola bilei epai ya bandeke ya likolo, mpe bibembe ya bayengebene na Yo epai ya banyama ya zamba;
3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one who would bury them.
basopi makila na bango lokola mayi zingazinga ya Yelusalemi, mpe moto ya kokunda bango azalaki te!
4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors, an object of ridicule and mockery to those who are around us.
Tala ndenge bato ya bikolo oyo ezingeli biso bazali kofinga biso, mpe tokomi lokola eloko ya liseki na miso na bango!
5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry until the end? Will your zeal be kindled like a fire?
Kino tango nini, Yawe, okokangela biso kanda? Kino tango nini zuwa na Yo ekopela lokola moto?
6 Pour out your wrath among the Gentiles, who have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not invoked your name.
Sopela bikolo oyo eyebi Yo te mpe mikili oyo ebelelaka Kombo na Yo te, kanda makasi na Yo;
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and they have desolated his place.
pamba te babebisi Jakobi mpe bapanzi mokili na ye.
8 Do not remember our iniquities of the past. May your mercies quickly intercept us, for we have become exceedingly poor.
Kotangela biso te masumu na biso ya kala, kokangela biso motema te, yokela biso mawa, pamba te tokomi na suka!
9 Help us, O God, our Savior. And free us, Lord, for the glory of your name. And forgive us our sins for the sake of your name.
Nzambe Mobikisi na biso, sunga biso mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo, kangola biso mpe limbisa masumu na biso mpo na Kombo na Yo!
10 Let them not say among the Gentiles, “Where is their God?” And may your name become known among the nations before our eyes. For the retribution of your servants’ blood, which has been poured out:
Mpo na nini bikolo eloba: « Nzambe na bango azali wapi? » Tika ete, na miso na biso, bato ya bikolo bayeba ete ozongiseli bango mabe na mabe, mpo na makila ya basali na Yo, oyo basopaki.
11 may the groans of the shackled enter before you. According to the greatness of your arm, take possession of the sons of those who have been killed.
Tika ete kolela ya bakangami kati na boloko ekoma liboso na Yo! Na nguya monene na Yo, bikisa ba-oyo bazwa etumbu ya kufa!
12 And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews. It is the reproach of the same ones who brought reproach against you, O Lord.
Oh Nkolo, zongisela bikolo oyo ezingeli biso, kotiola oyo batiolaki Yo; zongisela bango mbala sambo.
13 But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: we will give thanks to you in all ages. From generation to generation, we will announce your praise.
Mpe biso, bato na Yo, etonga oyo oleisaka, tokosanzola Yo tango nyonso; mpe na bikeke nyonso, tokosakola lokumu na Yo.
