Psalms 142

1 An instruction of David; when he was in the cave: a prayer. I cry unto Jehovah with my voice: with my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

Nzembo ya Davidi. Maloba na ye tango azalaki kati na ebombamelo ya mabanga. Na mongongo makasi, nazali koganga epai na Yawe; na mongongo makasi, nazali kobondela Yawe.

2 I pour out my plaint before him; I shew before him my trouble.

Natalisi likambo na ngai liboso na Ye, natandi pasi na ngai liboso na Ye.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they hidden a snare for me.

Soki molimo na ngai elembi kati na ngai, Yo oyebi epai nazali kokende. Batieli ngai motambo na nzela oyo nazali kotambola.

4 Look on the right hand and see; there is no man that knoweth me: refuge hath failed me; no man careth for my soul.

Bwaka miso na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali mpe tala! Moto ata moko te ayebi ngai lisusu, nazali lisusu na ekimelo te, moto ata moko te azali komitungisa na tina na ngai!

5 I cried unto thee, Jehovah; I said, Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.

Yawe, nagangi epai na Yo! Nalobi: « Ozali ebombamelo na ngai, libula na ngai kati na mokili ya bato ya bomoi! »

6 Attend unto my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors, for they are stronger than I.

Yoka koganga na ngai, pamba te nazali na pasi makasi! Kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banyokoli na ngai, pamba te baleki ngai na makasi.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may celebrate thy name. The righteous shall surround me, because thou dealest bountifully with me.

Bimisa ngai na boloko mpo ete nasanzola Kombo na Yo! Bato ya sembo bakoya kozingela ngai sima na Yo kosalela ngai bolamu.
