Psalms 119
1 ALEPH. Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah.
Esengo na bato oyo bazangi pamela mpe batambolaka kolanda mibeko ya Yawe!
2 Blessed are they that observe his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart;
Esengo na bato oyo babatelaka malako na Ye mpe balukaka Ye na mitema na bango mobimba!
3 Who also do no unrighteousness: they walk in his ways.
Basalaka mabe te, kasi balandaka banzela ya Nzambe.
4 Thou hast enjoined thy precepts, to be kept diligently.
Opesaki mibeko mpo ete etosama malamu.
5 Oh that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
Tika ete nabongisa etamboli na ngai mpo ete natosa mitindo na Yo!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
Na bongo, nakoyoka soni te tango nakotosa mibeko na Yo nyonso.
7 I will give thee thanks with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
Nakosanzola Yo na motema ya sembo wana nakoyekola mibeko ya bosembo na Yo.
8 I will keep thy statutes: forsake me not utterly.
Nalingi kotosa mitindo na Yo; kosundola ngai libela te!
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his path? by taking heed according to thy word.
Ndenge nini elenge akoki kowumela na nzela ya sembo? Ezali na kotambola kolanda liloba na Yo.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: let me not wander from thy commandments.
Nalukaka Yo na motema na ngai mobimba; batela ngai mpo ete napengwa te mosika ya mibeko na Yo!
11 Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Nabatelaka liloba na Yo kati na motema na ngai mpo ete nasala masumu te na miso na Yo.
12 Blessed art thou, Jehovah! teach me thy statutes.
Yawe, tika ete opambolama! Lakisa ngai mitindo na Yo!
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
Na monoko na ngai, natangaka mibeko na Yo nyonso.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as [much as] in all wealth.
Nasepelaka kotambola kolanda malako na Yo lokola nde nazali na bomengo nyonso.

17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant [and] I shall live; and I will keep thy word.
Salela ngai, mosali na Yo, bolamu mpo ete nabika mpe natosa liloba na Yo.
18 Open mine eyes, and I shall behold wondrous things out of thy law.
Fungola miso na ngai mpo ete namona kitoko ya mibeko na Yo.
19 I am a stranger in the land; hide not thy commandments from me.
Nazali mopaya awa na mokili; kobombela ngai mibeko na Yo te.
20 My soul breaketh for longing after thy judgments at all times.
Molimo na ngai ezalaka tango nyonso na posa makasi ya koyeba mibeko na Yo.
21 Thou hast rebuked the proud [that are] cursed, who wander from thy commandments.
Otelemelaka bato ya lofundu, bato oyo balakelama mabe mpe bapengwaka mosika ya mibeko na Yo.
22 Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies.
Longola soni mpe kotiolama na bomoi na ngai, pamba te natosaka malako na Yo.
23 Princes also did sit [and] talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes.
Ezala soki bakambi basali likita mpe bayokani kotelemela ngai, mosali na Yo, nakokanisa kaka mitindo na Yo.
24 Thy testimonies also are my delight [and] my counsellors.
Malako na Yo esepelisaka ngai makasi, epesaka ngai toli.
25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken me according to thy word.
Nakangami na putulu; batela bomoi na ngai kolanda liloba na Yo.
26 I have declared my ways, and thou hast answered me: teach me thy statutes.
Nayebisaki Yo banzela na ngai, mpe oyanolaki ngai; lakisa ngai mibeko na Yo!
27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts, and I will meditate upon thy wondrous works.
Sala ete nasosola nzela ya mitindo na Yo mpo ete nakanisa misala minene na Yo!
28 My soul melteth for sadness: strengthen me according to thy word.
Nazali kolela mpo na pasi na motema; pesa ngai mpiko kolanda liloba na Yo.
29 Remove from me the way of falsehood, and graciously grant me thy law.
Mema ngai mosika ya nzela ya lokuta; mpe, na boboto na Yo, teya ngai mobeko na Yo.
30 I have chosen the way of faithfulness; thy judgments have I set [before me].
Naponaki nzela ya bosolo; natambolaka kolanda mibeko na Yo.
31 I cleave unto thy testimonies; Jehovah, let me not be ashamed.
Nakangami na malako na Yo; Yawe, koyokisa ngai soni te.
32 I will run the way of thy commandments when thou shalt enlarge my heart.
Nakimaka mbangu kati na nzela ya mibeko na Yo, pamba te opesaka ngai bososoli na yango.

Sala ete motema na ngai esepela na malako na Yo, kasi na bomengo te!
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; quicken me in thy way.
Longola miso na ngai na makambo ya pamba, batela bomoi na ngai kati na banzela na Yo!
38 Establish thy word unto thy servant, who is [devoted] to thy fear.
Kokisela mosali na Yo bilaka oyo opesaki mpo na bato oyo batosaka Yo.

40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
Nasepelaka makasi na mibeko na Yo; batela bomoi na ngai kati na bosembo na Yo!
41 VAU. And let thy loving-kindness come unto me, O Jehovah, — thy salvation according to thy word.
Yawe, tika ete bolingo ekomela ngai, mpe lobiko na Yo, kolanda elaka na Yo;
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I confide in thy word.
bongo nakokoka kozwa eyano ya kopesa na mofingi na ngai, pamba te natiaka elikya na liloba na Yo.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; because I have hoped in thy judgments.
Tika ete monoko na ngai elobaka kaka bosolo, pamba te natiaka elikya kati na mibeko na Yo.

Nakotosa mibeko na Yo tango nyonso, mpe libela na libela.
45 And I will walk at liberty, for I have sought thy precepts;
Nakobika na bonsomi ya solo, pamba te nasepelaka kotosa mitindo na Yo.
46 And I will speak of thy testimonies before kings, and will not be ashamed;
Nakolobela malako na Yo liboso ya bakonzi na kozanga koyoka soni.
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved;
Nasepelaka mingi na mibeko na Yo mpe nalingaka yango mingi.
48 And I will lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.
Nalapi ndayi mpo na mibeko na Yo, oyo nalingaka, mpe nakokanisa mitindo na Yo.
49 ZAIN. Remember the word for thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
Kanisa makambo oyo olobaki na mosali na Yo, pamba te opesaki ngai elikya.
50 This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word hath quickened me.
Kati na pasi na ngai, liloba na Yo ebondisaka; batela bomoi na ngai kolanda elaka na Yo.
51 The proud have derided me beyond measure: I have not declined from thy law.
Solo, bato ya lolendo batiolaki ngai makasi; kasi ngai, natikalaki kopengwa te na mibeko na Yo.
52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, and have comforted myself.
Yawe, tango nakanisaka mikano na Yo ya kala, nazwaka kati na yango kobondisama.
53 Burning indignation hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked who forsake thy law.
Nayokaka pasi mingi na motema tango namonaka bato mabe kosundola mibeko na Yo.
54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.
Nakoma koyemba mitindo na Yo na bisika nyonso epai wapi nazali moleki nzela.
55 I have remembered thy name, O Jehovah, in the night, and have kept thy law.
Yawe, nakanisaka Yo na butu mpo ete nabatela mibeko na Yo;
56 This I have had, because I have observed thy precepts.
pamba te libula na ngai ezali: kotosa mibeko na Yo.
57 CHETH. My portion, O Jehovah, I have said, is to keep thy words.
Yawe, nalobi lisusu ete libula na ngai ezali: kotosa liloba na Yo.
58 I have sought thy favour with [my] whole heart: be gracious unto me according to thy word.
Na motema na ngai mobimba, nalukaka kosepelisa Yo; salela ngai ngolu kolanda bilaka na Yo!
59 I have thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
Natali malamu etamboli na ngai mpe namizongisi kati na malako na Yo.
60 I have made haste, and not delayed, to keep thy commandments.
Natosaka mibeko na Yo noki, nazelisaka te.
61 The bands of the wicked have wrapped me round: I have not forgotten thy law.
Solo, mitambo ya bato mabe ekangaki ngai, kasi ngai nabosanaki te mibeko na Yo.
62 At midnight I rise up to give thanks unto thee, because of thy righteous judgments.
Na kati-kati ya butu, nalamukaka mpo na kokumisa Yo likolo na mibeko na Yo ya sembo.
63 I am the companion of all that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.
Nazali moninga ya bato nyonso oyo batosaka Yo mpe babatelaka mitindo na Yo.

66 Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments.
Teya ngai bolamu ya bososoli mpe ya mayele, pamba te namipesaka na mibeko na Yo.

Liboso ete obeta ngai, nazalaki mopengwi; kasi sik’oyo, nakomi kotosa liloba na Yo.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
Ozali malamu mpe osalaka makambo ya malamu; teya ngai mitindo na Yo!
69 The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with [my] whole heart.
Bato ya lolendo bakoselaka ngai makambo; kasi ngai, natosaka mitindo na Yo na motema na ngai mobimba.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, I delight in thy law.
Mitema na bango ezali mabanga; kasi ngai, nasepelaka na mibeko na Yo.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.
Ezalaki penza malamu mpo na ngai ete obeta ngai, mpo ete nayekola mitindo na Yo.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
Mpo na ngai, mibeko oyo ozwaki mpe osakolaki na monoko na Yo ezali malamu koleka biloko nkoto moko ya wolo mpe ya palata.
73 YOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, and I will learn thy commandments.

74 They that fear thee will see me, and rejoice; because I have hoped in thy word.
Tango bato oyo batosaka Yo bamonaka ngai, basepelaka makasi, mpo ete natiaka elikya na liloba na Yo.
75 I know, Jehovah, that thy Judgments are righteousness, and that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
Yawe, nayebi malamu ete mibeko na Yo ezali sembo, mpe ete ezali kaka mpo na bolingo na Yo nde obetaki ngai.
76 Oh let thy loving-kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
Tika ete bolingo na Yo ebondisa ngai, kolanda elaka na Yo epai ya mosali na Yo!
77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; for thy law is my delight.
Talisa ngai mawa na Yo mpo ete nabika, pamba te nasepelaka na mibeko na Yo.
78 Let the proud be ashamed; for they have acted perversely towards me with falsehood: as for me, I meditate in thy precepts.
Tika ete bato wana ya lofundu, oyo bamonisaka ngai pasi na kozanga tina, bakufa soni! Kasi ngai nakokanisa kaka mibeko na Yo.
79 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that know thy testimonies.
Tika ete bato oyo batosaka Yo, ba-oyo bayebi malako na Yo, bazongela ngai.
80 Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, that I be not ashamed.
Tika ete motema na ngai ezanga pamela mpo na kotosa mitindo na Yo, mpo ete nakufa soni te.
81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; I hope in thy word.
Natondi na posa ya lobiko na Yo, nazali na elikya kati na liloba na Yo.
82 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Miso na ngai elembi kozela kokokisama ya elaka na Yo; nakomi komituna: « Okobondisa ngai tango nini? »
83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; I do not forget thy statutes.
Nakomi lokola mbeki oyo ezali kokawuka na milinga, nzokande nabosanaka mitindo na Yo te.
84 How many shall be the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
Mikolo ya bomoi ya mosali na Yo ezali motango boni? Mokolo nini okopesa banyokoli na ngai etumbu?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to thy law.
Bato ya lolendo batimoli mabulu mpo na kokanga ngai, baboyi kotosa mibeko na Yo.
86 All thy commandments are faithfulness. They persecute me wrongfully: help thou me.
Mibeko na Yo nyonso ezali sembo; kasi bazali konyokola ngai kaka pamba; yaka kosunga ngai!
87 They had almost consumed me upon the earth; but as for me, I forsook not thy precepts.
Etikali moke mpo ete balongola ngai na mokili; kasi atako bongo, nasundoli mibeko na Yo te.
88 Quicken me according to thy loving-kindness, and I will keep the testimony of thy mouth.
Kati na bolingo na Yo, batela bomoi na ngai mpo ete natosa malako na Yo.
89 LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.
Yawe, liloba na Yo ezali mpo na seko, epikama kati na likolo;
90 Thy faithfulness is from generation to generation: thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
boyengebene na Yo ekowumela seko na seko. Okela mabele, mpe ezali kaka kino na mokolo ya lelo;
91 By thine ordinances they stand this day; for all things are thy servants.
opesa mibeko, mpe ezali kaka kino na mokolo ya lelo, pamba te nyonso kati na mokili mobimba epesaka Yo lokumu.
92 Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
Soki nasepelaki na mibeko na Yo te, mbele nakufa kala kati na pasi na ngai.
93 I will never forget thy precepts; for by them thou hast quickened me.
Nakotikala kobosana ata moke te mitindo na Yo, pamba te obatelaka bomoi na ngai na nzela na yango.

Motema na ngai etutami makasi; Yawe, batela bomoi na ngai kolanda liloba na Yo.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, Jehovah, the voluntary-offerings of my mouth, and teach me thy judgments.
Yawe, ndima likabo ya bibebu na ngai, mpe teya ngai mibeko na Yo.
109 My life is continually in my hand; but I do not forget thy law.
Solo, nakutanaka tango nyonso na makama, kasi nabosanaka mibeko na Yo te.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me; but I have not wandered from thy precepts.
Bato mabe batiaka mitambo mpo ete nakweya, kasi nakangamaka kaka na mibeko na Yo.

Malako na Yo ezali libula na ngai mpo na libela, esalaka esengo ya motema na ngai.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes for ever, unto the end.
Nazwa mokano ya kotambola kolanda mitindo na Yo, tango nyonso, kino na suka.

Nayinaka bato ya mitema mibale, kasi nalingaka nde mibeko na Yo.
114 Thou art my hiding-place and my shield: I hope in thy word.
Ozali ebombamelo mpe nguba na ngai; natiaka elikya kati na liloba na Yo.

Obwakaka bato nyonso oyo bapesaka mitindo na Yo mokongo, pamba te mokano na bango ezalaka ya lokuta.
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross; therefore I love thy testimonies.
Olongolaka bato nyonso ya mabe ya mokili lokola bosoto; yango wana nalingaka malako na Yo.
120 My flesh shuddereth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.
Nalengaka na somo liboso na Yo mpe nabangaka mikano na Yo.

144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is for ever: give me understanding, and I shall live.
Malako na Yo ezali sembo mpo na libela; pesa ngai bososoli mpo ete nabika!

Bato oyo basalaka mabongisi mabe, oyo batosaka mibeko na Yo te, bazali koya pene na ngai.
151 Thou, Jehovah, art near, and all thy commandments are truth.
Nzokande Yo, Yawe, ozali pene, mpe mibeko na Yo nyonso ezali bosolo.
152 From thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
Wuta kala, ngai nayebi, na nzela ya malako na Yo, ete otia mibeko yango mpo na libela.
