< Psalms 116 >
1 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;
Nalingaka Yawe, pamba te ayokaka mongongo mpe mabondeli na ngai.
2 For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.
Ayokaki ngai; boye nakobelela Ye bomoi na ngai mobimba.
3 The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow: (Sheol )
Minyololo ya kufa ezingelaki ngai, somo ya mboka ya bakufi ekangaki ngai; nakomaki moto ya pasi mpe ya mawa. (Sheol )
4 Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
Kasi nabelelaki Kombo ya Yawe: « Yawe, nabondeli Yo, bikisa ngai! »
5 Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.
Yawe asalaka ngolu mpe azali sembo, Nzambe na biso ayokelaka bato mawa.
6 Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
Yawe abatelaka bato oyo bazangi mayele. Nalembaki nzoto, kasi abikisi ngai.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Molimo na ngai, zongela kimia na yo, pamba te Yawe asaleli yo bolamu.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
Solo, okangoli ngai na kufa, okawusi mpinzoli na ngai mpe obateli makolo na ngai ete ekweya te.
9 I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
Nakotambola liboso ya Yawe kati na mokili ya bato ya bomoi.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.
Solo, nazalaka na elikya, ezala soki nalobaka: « Nazali moto na pasi makasi. »
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
Kati na mitungisi na ngai, nazalaki komilobela: « Bato nyonso bazali bakosi. »
12 What shall I render unto Jehovah, [for] all his benefits toward me?
Nini nakoki kozongisela Yawe mpo na bolamu na Ye nyonso epai na ngai?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
Nakotombola kopo ya elonga mpe nakobelela Kombo ya Yawe.
14 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.
Nakokokisa bandayi na ngai epai na Yawe na miso ya bato na Ye nyonso.
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.
Kufa ya bayengebene ya Yawe ezali na motuya makasi na miso na Ye.
16 Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
Yawe, yoka ngai, nazali mosali na Yo. Nazali mosali na Yo, mwana mobali ya mwasi mosali na Yo. Ofungoli minyololo oyo ekangaki ngai.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
Nakobonzela Yo mbeka mpo na kozongisa matondi, mpe nakobelela Kombo ya Yawe.
18 I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,
Nakokokisa bandayi na ngai epai na Yawe na miso ya bato na Ye nyonso,
19 In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe; kati na yo, Yelusalemi. Bokumisa Yawe!
