Psalms 31
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. In thee, Jehovah, do I trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eh Yawe, kati na Yo nde nazwa ebombamelo; kondima te ete nayoka soni! Bikisa ngai na bosembo na Yo!
2 Incline thine ear to me, deliver me speedily; be a strong rock to me, a house of defence to save me.
Yoka ngai mpe kangola ngai noki! Zala mpo na ngai libanga oyo ezingelami na bamir mpe ndako batonga makasi mpo na kobikisa ngai.
3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; and, for thy name's sake, thou wilt lead me and guide me.
Mpo ete ozali libanga na ngai mpe ndako na ngai ya makasi, kamba mpe tambolisa ngai mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
4 Draw me out of the net that they have hidden for me; for thou art my strength.
Bikisa ngai na motambo oyo batieli ngai, pamba te ozali ebombamelo na ngai.
5 Into thy hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah, [thou] God of truth.
Nazongisi molimo na ngai kati na maboko na Yo, Yawe, Nzambe ya solo, oyo okangolaki ngai.
6 I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
Nalingaka te bato nyonso oyo bakangamaka na banzambe ya bikeko, pamba te natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yawe.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,
Nakozalaka moto ya esengo mpe nakosepelaka kati na bolingo na Yo; pamba te omonaka pasi na ngai, mpe oyebi mitungisi na ngai.
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.
Okabaki ngai te na maboko ya monguna na ngai, kasi obombaka ngai mosika, na esika ya kimia penza.
9 Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.
Yawe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazali kati na pasi; miso, motema mpe nzoto na ngai mobimba ebebi mpo na mawa.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.
Bomoi na ngai ekawuki mpo na pasi, mpe mibu na ngai ezali koleka kati na kolela; makasi na ngai esili mpo na mabe na ngai, mpe mikuwa na ngai elembi.
11 More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
Banguna na ngai nyonso bakomi kozwa ngai lokola eloko ya lisuma, baninga na ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola eloko ya soni, mpe bato oyo bayebi ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola eloko ya somo.
12 I am forgotten in [their] heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
Babosani ngai lokola moto oyo asila kokufa; nakomi lokola mbeki oyo epanzana.
13 For I have heard the slander of many — terror on every side — when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
Nayokaka matongi na bango na tina na ngai tango basanganaka mpe basalaka makita mpo na koluka ndenge nini koboma ngai.
14 But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.
Kasi ngai, natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo, Yawe, mpe nalobaka: « Ozali Nzambe na ngai. »
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
Mikolo ya bomoi na ngai ezali kati na maboko na Yo; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna mpe ya bayini na ngai.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
Tala ngai mosali na Yo, na miso ya bolingo; bikisa ngai kati na bolingo na Yo.
17 Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Yawe, sala ete nayokisama soni te, pamba te nabeleli Yo. Kasi tika ete bato mabe nde bayoka soni mpe bakita kino na mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
Tika ete ekangama, bibebu oyo elobaka lokuta, oyo elobaka na lolendo mpe na lofundu, oyo ebebisaka lokumu ya moto ya sembo na nzela ya songisongi.
19 [Oh] how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
Boboto na Yo ezali penza monene, boboto oyo obombaka mpo na bato oyo batosaka Yo, boboto oyo otalisaka epai ya bato oyo bazwaka Yo lokola ebombamelo na bango, na miso ya bato nyonso.
20 Thou keepest them concealed in the secret of thy presence from the conspiracies of man; thou hidest them in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
Obombaka bango epai na Yo, mosika ya mabongisi mabe ya bato; obatelaka bango kati na Yo, mosika ya bato oyo babundisaka bango.
21 Blessed be Jehovah; for he hath shewn me wondrously his loving-kindness in a strong city.
Tika ete Yawe akumisama, pamba te atalisaki ngai bolingo na Ye ya kokamwa, tango nazalaki kati na engumba oyo ezingelamaki na banguna!
22 As for me, I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
Kati na kobanga na ngai, namilobelaki: « Obengani ngai penza mosika na Yo! » Nzokande oyokaki ngai wana nazalaki kobondela Yo mpe wana nazalaki kobelela Yo.
23 Love Jehovah, all ye his saints. Jehovah preserveth the faithful, and plentifully requiteth the proud doer.
Bino babulami na Ye nyonso, bolinga Yawe! Yawe abatelaka bato ya sembo epai na Ye, kasi apesaka etumbu ya makasi epai ya bato ya lofundu.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all ye that hope in Jehovah.
Bino nyonso oyo botalelaka Yawe, bozala makasi mpe boyika mpiko.
