Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Strive, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me:
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, kota likambo na ngai liboso ya bayini na ngai; bundisa bato oyo bazali kobundisa ngai.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help;
Kamata nguba ya moke mpe ya monene, mpe telema mpo na kosunga ngai.
3 And draw out the spear, and stop [the way] against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
Tombola likonga ya monene mpe ya moke mpo na kobundisa bato oyo bazali kolanda ngai. Loba na ngai: « Nazali lobiko na Yo. »
4 Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek after my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that devise my hurt:
Tika ete bato oyo bazali komeka bomoi na ngai basambwa mpe bayoka soni; tika ete bato oyo bazali kokana kosala ngai mabe bazonga sima mpe bakoma mawa-mawa!
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of Jehovah drive [them] away;
Tika ete bakoma lokola matiti ya kokawuka oyo mopepe ezali kopumbwisa, tango anjelu ya Yawe akotindika bango;
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of Jehovah pursue them.
tika ete nzela na bango ekoma molili mpe moselu tango anjelu ya Yawe akobengana bango.
7 For without cause have they hidden for me their net [in] a pit; without cause they have digged [it] for my soul.
Mpo ete, na kozanga tina, mpo na kokanga ngai, batielaki ngai mitambo mpe batimolaki mabulu,
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for destruction let him fall therein.
tika ete libebi ekweyela bango na mbalakata, bakangama bango moko na mitambo oyo batielaki ngai mpe bakweya kati na mabulu yango!
9 And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah; it shall rejoice in his salvation.
Nakotonda na esengo kati na Yawe mpe nakosepela kati na lobiko na Ye.
10 All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!
Mikuwa na ngai nyonso ekoloba: « Oh Yawe, nani akoki kokangola, lokola Yo, mobola wuta na maboko ya moto oyo aleki ye na makasi, mobola mpe mokeleli wuta na maboko ya banyokoli na bango? »
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.
Batatoli oyo bamipesa na kanza batelemi, bazali kopesa ngai mituna na tina na makambo oyo nayebi te.
12 They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereavement of my soul.
Bazali kozongisela ngai mabe mpo na bolamu oyo nasalaki, mpe kosundola ngai lokola monyokolami.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:
Nzokande tango bango babelaki, ngai nalataki saki, namikitisaki na kokila bilei, nazalaki kobondela mpo na bango.
14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] a friend, a brother to me; I bowed down in sadness, as one that mourneth [for] a mother.
Nazalaki kotambola na mawa lokola mpo na moninga to mpo na ndeko; nazalaki kokitisa moto na se mpo na mawa lokola moto oyo azali kolela mama na ye.
15 But at my halting they rejoiced, and gathered together: the slanderers gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
Kasi awa ngai nakomi na pasi, bango bazali kosepela mpe kosangana; wana ngai nayebi te, bango bazali kosangana mpo na kotonga ngai, bazali kolemba te kofinga ngai.
16 With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.
Lokola bapagano, bazali koseka ngai, bazali kolia minu na tina na ngai.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.
Yawe, kino tango nini okotala kaka boye? Kangola ngai wuta na misala na bango ya mabe, bomoi na ngai wuta na manzaka ya bankosi oyo.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people.
Nakokumisa Yo kati na mayangani monene, nakosanzola Yo kati na ebele ya bato.
19 Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.
Tika ete banguna na ngai basepela te na tina na ngai; tika ete bayini na ngai na kozanga tina bakanga miso te.
20 For they speak not peace; and they devise deceitful words against the quiet in the land.
Pamba te balobaka te maloba ya kimia, kasi babongisaka lokuta mpo na kokosela bato ya kimia makambo kati na mboka.
21 And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha! aha! our eye hath seen [it].
Balobaka na mongongo makasi: « Eh! Eh! Tomonaki ye! »
22 Thou hast seen [it], Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
Yawe, omoni nyonso wana; kovanda nye te! Nkolo, kozala mosika na ngai te!
23 Stir up thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, my God and Lord!
Lamuka mpe telema mpo na kolongisa ngai! Nzambe na ngai mpe Nkolo na ngai, kota likambo na ngai.
24 Judge me, Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, longisa ngai na bosembo na Yo; kotika bango te kosepela na tina na ngai.
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha! so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Tika ete bamilobela te: « Ah! Tala makambo oyo tozalaki koluka! » Tika ete baloba te: « Tolie ye. »
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine adversity; let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
Tika ete bato nyonso oyo basepelaka na pasi na ngai, bango nyonso lisanga, bayoka soni mpe basambwa! Tika ete bato oyo batombokelaka ngai balata soni mpe bazala kati na yikiyiki!
27 Let them exult and rejoice that delight in my righteousness; and let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant.
Tika ete bato oyo basepelaka na bosembo na ngai baganga na esengo mpe basepela; tika ete balobaka tango nyonso: « Tika ete Yawe anetolama, Ye oyo asepelaka na kimia ya mowumbu na Ye! »
28 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, [and] of thy praise, all the day.
Nakosakola bosembo na Yo, nakokumisa Yo mikolo nyonso.
