Psalms 71
1 In thee, Jehovah, do I trust: let me never be ashamed.
Yawe, ozali ebombamelo na ngai; kondima te ete nayoka soni!
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
Na bosembo na Yo, kangola mpe bikisa ngai. Yoka ngai mpe bikisa ngai.
3 Be to me a rock of habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.
Zala mpo na ngai ekimelo ya libanga epai wapi nakoki kokende tango nyonso. Ozwaki mokano ya kobikisa ngai, pamba te ozali libanga mpe ndako na ngai batonga makasi.
4 My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bato mabe, na maboko ya batomboki mpe bato na kanza.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord Jehovah, my confidence from my youth.
Nkolo Yawe, ozali elikya na ngai; wuta bolenge na ngai, namipesaka na Yo.
6 On thee have I been stayed from the womb; from the bowels of my mother thou didst draw me forth: my praise shall be continually of thee.
Wuta mbotama na ngai, natalelaka Yo; Yo nde obimisaki ngai na libumu ya mama na ngai. Nakokumisa Yo tango nyonso.
7 I have been as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
Nazali likamwisi mpo na bato ebele; ozali ebombamelo na ngai ya makasi.
8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, with thy glory, all the day.
Tika ete monoko na ngai etonda na masanzoli mpo na lokumu na Yo; tika ete etatolaka tango nyonso kongenga ya nkembo na Yo.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Kobwaka ngai te awa nakomi mobange, kotika ngai te awa makasi na ngai ekomi kosila.
10 For mine enemies speak against me, and they that watch for my soul consult together,
Pamba te banguna na ngai bazali koloba mabe na tina na ngai, mpe bato oyo balukaka koboma ngai basaleli ngai likita.
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver.
Bazali koloba: « Nzambe asundoli ye; bolanda ye, bokanga ye; moto oyo akokangola ye azali te! »
12 O God, be not far from me; my God, hasten to my help.
Oh Nzambe, kozala mosika na ngai te! Nzambe na ngai, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai.
13 Let them be ashamed, let them be consumed, that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
Tika ete bato oyo bafundaka ngai bakufa soni mpe balimwa! Tika ete ba-oyo balukaka pasi na ngai basambwa mpe bayokisama soni!
14 But as for me, I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
Kasi ngai, nakozala na elikya tango nyonso mpe nakokoba kokumisa Yo.
15 My mouth shall declare thy righteousness, [and] thy salvation all the day: for I know not the numbers [thereof].
Monoko na ngai ekosakola tango nyonso misala ya bosembo mpe ya lobiko na Yo, pamba te nayebi motango na yango te.
16 I will go in the might of the Lord Jehovah; I will recall thy righteousness, thine alone.
Nkolo Yawe, nakoya epai na Yo mpe nakotatola misala na Yo ya nguya; nakotatola misala malamu ya bosembo na Yo, misala ya bosembo na Yo kaka.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth, and hitherto have I proclaimed thy marvellous works:
Nzambe, wuta bolenge na ngai, oteya ngai; mpe kino lelo, nazali kotatola bikamwa na Yo.
18 Now also, when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not, until I have proclaimed thine arm unto [this] generation, thy might to every one that is to come.
Ezala ndenge nakomi sik’oyo mobange mpe suki na ngai ekomi pembe, oh Nzambe na ngai, kotika ngai te, mpo ete natatola makasi na Yo epai ya bato ya ekeke oyo, mpe misala ya nguya na Yo epai ya bato nyonso oyo bakoya sima.
19 And thy righteousness, O God, reacheth on high, thou who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee?
Nzambe, bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na likolo, pamba te osalaka makambo minene. Oh Nzambe, nani akokani na Yo?
20 Thou, who hast shewn us many and sore troubles, wilt revive us again, and wilt bring us up again from the depths of the earth;
Atako osalaki ete tokutana na pasi mingi mpe na makambo ya bololo, kasi okotika lisusu biso kozala na bomoi, okobimisa ngai lisusu wuta na mozindo ya mabele.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Okomatisa lisusu lokumu na ngai, mpe okobondisa ngai lisusu.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, my God; unto thee will I sing psalms with the harp, thou holy One of Israel.
Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo na lindanda mpo na boyengebene na Yo; Mosantu ya Isalaele, nakobeta lindanda mpo na lokumu na Yo.
23 My lips shall exult when I sing psalms unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Nakoganga na esengo tango nakoyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu na Yo, pamba te okangoli bomoi na ngai.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day; for they shall be ashamed, for they shall be brought to confusion, that seek my hurt.
Lolemo na ngai ekotatola tango nyonso misala ya bosembo na Yo, pamba te bato oyo balukaka pasi na ngai bayokisami soni mpe basambwe.
