Psalms 141
1 I have cried to the, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, nazali kobelela Yo; yaka noki epai na ngai! Yoka mongongo na ngai, wana nazali kobelela Yo!
2 Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.
Liboso na Yo, tika ete libondeli na ngai ezala lokola mbeka ya malasi, mpe botombwami ya maboko na ngai ezala lokola mbeka ya pokwa!
3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.
Yawe, kengela monoko na ngai, batela malamu ekuke ya bibebu na ngai!
4 Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins. With men that work iniquity: and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.
Kotindika motema na ngai te na mabe, mpo ete namipesa te na mobulu elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe nalia bilei te elongo na bango.
5 The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:
Soki moto ya sembo abeti ngai, ezali elembo ya bolingo; soki apameli ngai, ezali mafuta na moto na ngai; moto na ngai ekoboya yango te. Kasi libondeli na ngai ekotelemelaka bato ya misala mabe.
6 Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:
Tika ete bilombe na bango babwakama na mabanga; na bongo, maloba na ngai ekoyokana, pamba te ezali kitoko.
7 As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground: Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. (Sheol h7585)
Lokola tango babalolaka mpe batimolaka mabele, mikuwa na biso epanzani liboso ya mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
8 But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.
Yawe, Nkolo na ngai, miso na ngai ebaluki mpo na kotala Yo; nazali kobombama kati na Yo, kotindika ngai na kufa te!
9 Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.
Batela ngai mpo ete nakangama te na motambo na bango mpe nakweya te na mabulu ya bato ya misala mabe.
10 The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.
Tika ete bato mabe bakangama na mitambo na bango moko, mpe ete ngai naleka na kimia!
