< Psalms 75 >
1 To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' A Psalm of Asaph: a Song. Unto thee we give thanks, O God, we give thanks; and thy name is near: thy marvellous works declare it.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya koyemba lokola « Koboma te! » Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe, tozali kosanzola Yo, tozali kosanzola Kombo na Yo; mpo ete Kombo na Yo ezali pene, bato bazali kotatola bikamwa na Yo.
2 When I shall receive the assembly, I will judge with equity.
Olobaki: « Na tango oyo ngai moko nakobongisa, nakokata makambo na bosembo.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have established its pillars. (Selah)
Mokili ekoki kolenga elongo na bavandi na yango nyonso, kasi ezali ngai nde nalendisaka makonzi na yango. »
4 I said unto the boastful, Boast not; and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
Nazali koloba na moto ya lofundu: « Kotombola lisusu mapeka te; » mpe na bato mabe: « Bosala lisusu lolendo te.
5 Lift not up your horn on high; speak not arrogantly with a [stiff] neck.
Bomeka lisusu te kosala lofundu mpe koloba na lolendo. »
6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation [come]:
Botombwami ewutaka na Este te, na Weste te, ewutaka mpe na esobe te.
7 For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.
Pamba te ezali Nzambe nde akataka makambo: akitisaka moto songolo mpe atombolaka moto pakala.
8 For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and it foameth with wine, it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same; yea, the dregs thereof shall all the wicked of the earth drain off, [and] drink.
Loboko na Yawe esimbi kopo oyo etondi na vino ya makasi mpe ya bololo. Azali kosopa yango, mpe bato mabe nyonso ya mokili bazali komeka mpe komela yango kino na mbindo oyo etikalaka na se ya kopo.
9 But as for me, I will declare for ever; I will sing psalms to the God of Jacob.
Mpo na ngai, nakotatola makambo oyo tango nyonso, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Nzambe ya Jakobi,
10 And all the horns of the wicked will I cut off; [but] the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
oyo azali koloba: « Nakosilisa makasi nyonso ya bato mabe; kasi nguya ya bato ya sembo ekomata lisusu makasi. »
