Psalms 35
1 For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow 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 arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
Kamata nguba ya moke mpe ya monene, mpe telema mpo na kosunga ngai.
3 Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to 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 confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
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 become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
Tika ete bakoma lokola matiti ya kokawuka oyo mopepe ezali kopumbwisa, tango anjelu ya Yawe akotindika bango;
6 Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
tika ete nzela na bango ekoma molili mpe moselu tango anjelu ya Yawe akobengana bango.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.
Mpo ete, na kozanga tina, mpo na kokanga ngai, batielaki ngai mitambo mpe batimolaki mabulu,
8 Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.
tika ete libebi ekweyela bango na mbalakata, bakangama bango moko na mitambo oyo batielaki ngai mpe bakweya kati na mabulu yango!
9 But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
Nakotonda na esengo kati na Yawe mpe nakosepela kati na lobiko na Ye.
10 All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip 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 Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
Batatoli oyo bamipesa na kanza batelemi, bazali kopesa ngai mituna na tina na makambo oyo nayebi te.
12 They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me 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 troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
Nzokande tango bango babelaki, ngai nalataki saki, namikitisaki na kokila bilei, nazalaki kobondela mpo na bango.
14 As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
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 they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew 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 They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Lokola bapagano, bazali koseka ngai, bazali kolia minu na tina na ngai.
17 Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the 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 thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
Nakokumisa Yo kati na mayangani monene, nakosanzola Yo kati na ebele ya bato.
19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
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 spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
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: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
Balobaka na mongongo makasi: « Eh! Eh! Tomonaki ye! »
22 Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
Yawe, omoni nyonso wana; kovanda nye te! Nkolo, kozala mosika na ngai te!
23 Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
Lamuka mpe telema mpo na kolongisa ngai! Nzambe na ngai mpe Nkolo na ngai, kota likambo na ngai.
24 Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, 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 hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them 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 blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things 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 rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace 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 Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
Nakosakola bosembo na Yo, nakokumisa Yo mikolo nyonso.
