Psalms 116
1 I love the Lord because he listens to me, he hears my calls for help.
Nalingaka Yawe, pamba te ayokaka mongongo mpe mabondeli na ngai.
2 Because he pays attention to what I say I will pray to him as long as I live.
Ayokaki ngai; boye nakobelela Ye bomoi na ngai mobimba.
3 I was caught in the snares of death; I was trapped by terrors of the grave. All I experienced was suffering and grief. (Sheol h7585)
Minyololo ya kufa ezingelaki ngai, somo ya mboka ya bakufi ekangaki ngai; nakomaki moto ya pasi mpe ya mawa. (Sheol h7585)
4 Then I cried out to the Lord, “Lord, please save me!”
Kasi nabelelaki Kombo ya Yawe: « Yawe, nabondeli Yo, bikisa ngai! »
5 The Lord is so kind and good! Our God is so compassionate!
Yawe asalaka ngolu mpe azali sembo, Nzambe na biso ayokelaka bato mawa.
6 The Lord takes care of those who are powerless; when I was brought down he saved me.
Yawe abatelaka bato oyo bazangi mayele. Nalembaki nzoto, kasi abikisi ngai.
7 I can once again be at peace because the Lord has been good to me.
Molimo na ngai, zongela kimia na yo, pamba te Yawe asaleli yo bolamu.
8 For you have saved me from death, my eyes from crying, and my feet from stumbling.
Solo, okangoli ngai na kufa, okawusi mpinzoli na ngai mpe obateli makolo na ngai ete ekweya te.
9 Now I can walk with the Lord in the land of the living.
Nakotambola liboso ya Yawe kati na mokili ya bato ya bomoi.
10 I trusted in you, so I told you, “I'm suffering terribly!”
Solo, nazalaka na elikya, ezala soki nalobaka: « Nazali moto na pasi makasi. »
11 I was so upset that I said, “Everyone's a liar!”
Kati na mitungisi na ngai, nazalaki komilobela: « Bato nyonso bazali bakosi. »
12 What can I give the Lord in return for all he's done for me?
Nini nakoki kozongisela Yawe mpo na bolamu na Ye nyonso epai na ngai?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and worship the Lord.
Nakotombola kopo ya elonga mpe nakobelela Kombo ya Yawe.
14 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see.
Nakokokisa bandayi na ngai epai na Yawe na miso ya bato na Ye nyonso.
15 It hurts the Lord when those who trust in him die.
Kufa ya bayengebene ya Yawe ezali na motuya makasi na miso na Ye.
16 Lord, I really am your slave, serving you as my mother served you before me, yet you have set me free.
Yawe, yoka ngai, nazali mosali na Yo. Nazali mosali na Yo, mwana mobali ya mwasi mosali na Yo. Ofungoli minyololo oyo ekangaki ngai.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to you and I will worship you.
Nakobonzela Yo mbeka mpo na kozongisa matondi, mpe nakobelela Kombo ya Yawe.
18 I will keep my promises to the Lord so everyone can see,
Nakokokisa bandayi na ngai epai na Yawe na miso ya bato na Ye nyonso,
19 there in the house of the Lord, right in Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!
kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe; kati na yo, Yelusalemi. Bokumisa Yawe!
