Psalms 39
1 To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi mpe ya Yedutuni. Nzembo ya Davidi. Namilobelaki: « Nakosala keba na etamboli na ngai mpo ete monoko na ngai esala masumu te; nakobatela penza monoko na ngai tango nyonso moto mabe akozala liboso na ngai. »
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace from good; and my sorrow was stirred.
Boye nakangaki monoko na ngai mpe navandaki nye, natikalaki koloba ata likambo moko te; pasi na ngai ebakisamaki makasi.
3 My heart burned within me; the fire was kindled in my musing: I spoke with my tongue,
Motema na ngai eswaki, moto ezalaki kopela kati na ngai, mpe nalobaki na nzela ya monoko na ngai.
4 Make me to know, Jehovah, mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: I shall know how frail I am.
Yawe, yebisa ngai tango nini bomoi na ngai ekosuka mpe motango ya mikolo ya bomoi na ngai mpo ete nasosola ete bomoi na ngai ezali kaka mpo na mwa tango moke.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days [as] hand-breadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before thee; verily, every man, [even] the high placed, is altogether vanity. (Selah)
Solo mikolo ya bomoi na ngai ekatama, ezali pamba na miso na Yo. Bomoi ya moto nyonso ezali kaka mopepe.
6 Verily, man walketh in a vain show; verily they are disquieted in vain; he heapeth up [riches], and knoweth not who shall gather them.
Moto akendaka mpe azongaka, azali kaka lokola elili; amitungisaka kaka pamba, andukaka bomengo, kasi ayebaka te soki nani akotikala na yango.
7 And now, what wait I for, Lord? my hope is in thee.
Sik’oyo, oh Nkolo, nazela lisusu nini? Natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo.
8 Deliver me from all my transgressions; make me not the reproach of the foolish.
Bikisa ngai na mabe na ngai nyonso, kopesa nzela te na bazoba ete bafinga ngai.
9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; for thou hast done [it].
Nakangi monoko, nakoloba lisusu te, pamba te Yo nde osali.
10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thy hand.
Kobeta ngai lisusu te, nazali kokoka lisusu te.
11 When thou with rebukes dost correct a man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely, every man is vanity. (Selah)
Opesaka bato etumbu mpo na masumu na bango mpo na kozongisa bango na nzela; obebisaka biloko na bango ya motuya lokola nselele. Solo, moto nyonso azali kaka mopepe.
12 Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.
Yawe, yoka libondeli na ngai; yoka na bokebi, wana nazali koganga mpo na kosenga lisungi, kovanda nye te liboso ya mpinzoli na ngai, pamba te epai na Yo, nazali mopaya mpe moleki nzela lokola bakoko na ngai.
13 Look away from me, and let me recover strength, before I go hence and be no more.
Kotala ngai te mpo ete nasepela lisusu, liboso ete nakende na ngai mpe nazala lisusu te.
