Psalms 7
1 The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya mawa oyo Davidi ayembelaki Yawe na tina na Kushi, moto ya libota ya Benjame. Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, nabombamaka kati na Yo; bikisa ngai mpe kangola ngai liboso ya bato nyonso oyo balukaka koboma ngai.
2 Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
Soki te, bakopasola ngai lokola nkosi mpe bakokata ngai na biteni, mpe moto akozala te mpo na kosunga ngai.
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, soki nasalaki makambo oyo bazali kopamela ngai mpo na yango, mpe soki ezali na mabe na maboko na ngai,
4 If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
soki nasalaki moninga na ngai mabe, soki nabotolaki na makasi mpe kaka na pamba, biloko ya moyini na ngai;
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.
wana tika ete monguna na ngai alanda mpe akanga ngai, tika ete asakanela bomoi na ngai mpe abebisa lokumu na ngai.
6 Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:
Yawe, telema na kanda na Yo, telemela kotomboka ya banguna na ngai. Nzambe na ngai, telema, kata likambo na ngai.
7 And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.
Tika ete bikolo esangana zingazinga na Yo, kasi Yo, konza bango wuta na Kiti na Yo ya Bokonzi.
8 The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.
Tika ete Yawe asambisa bikolo. Yawe, longisa ngai kolanda bosembo na ngai, kolanda bozangi pamela na ngai, Yo-Oyo-Oleki-Likolo.
9 The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
Yo Nzambe ya sembo oyo ososolaka mozindo ya mayele mpe ya mitema, sukisa kanza ya bato mabe mpe yikisa moto ya sembo mpiko.
10 Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.
Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo azali nguba na ngai, abikisaka bato ya sembo.
11 God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?
Nzambe azali Mosambisi ya sembo, asilikaka mikolo nyonso.
12 Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
Soki alembisi kanda na Ye te, akopelisa minu ya mopanga na Ye, akobongisa mpe akobeta tolotolo na Ye.
13 And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
Abongisaka bibundeli oyo ebomaka mpe asalaka ete makonga na Ye ekoma kozikisa.
14 Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
Moto nyonso oyo abongisaka kosala mabe alukaka ndenge nini koyokisa bato pasi mpe abebisaka boyokani;
15 He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.
atimolaka libulu, kasi ye moko nde akweyaka kati na yango.
16 His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.
Pasi oyo ayokisaka bato ezongelaka ye moko, mpe mabe na ye ekweyaka na moto na ye moko.
17 I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
Nakokumisa Yawe mpo na bosembo na Ye, mpe nakosanzola Yawe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo na banzembo.
