Psalms 50
1 A psalm of Asaph. The Lord, the Almighty God, speaks! He summons everyone on earth, from the east to the west.
Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe ya banzambe, Yawe alobi, abengi mokili wuta na epai moyi ebimaka kino na epai elalaka.
2 God shines out of Mount Zion, perfect in beauty.
Wuta na Siona, mboka kitoko, Nzambe azali kongenga lokola moyi.
3 Our God arrives, and does not stay quiet. Fire flames before him, burning everything up; a violent storm rages around him.
Tika ete Nzambe na biso aya! Tika ete akanga monoko te! Liboso na Ye, moto makasi ezali kozikisa; mpe zingazinga na Ye, mopepe makasi ezali kopepa.
4 He summons the heavens above and the earth to witness the judgment of his people.
Abengi Likolo, kuna na likolo, mpe mabele mpo na kokata makambo ya bato na Ye.
5 “Bring me those who trust in me—those who confirmed the agreement with me through sacrifice.”
Alobi: « Bosangisela ngai bayengebene na ngai, ba-oyo basalaki Boyokani elongo na ngai na nzela ya mbeka. »
6 The heavens declare his decisions are right, for God himself is the judge. (Selah)
Likolo ekopanza sango ya bosembo na Ye, pamba te azali Nzambe ya bosembo.
7 “My people, listen to what I have to say. I am bringing charges against you, Israel. I am God, your God!
Bino bato na ngai, boyoka; nazali koloba na bino! Isalaele, nakoloba mpo na kotelemela yo: « Ngai Nzambe, nazali Nzambe na yo. »
8 I'm not complaining about your sacrifices or burnt offerings that you offer all the time.
Nakopamela yo te na tina na bambeka na yo, pamba te bambeka na yo ya kotumba ezalaka tango nyonso liboso na ngai.
9 I do not require bulls from your barns or goats from your pens,
Nakozwa ngombe te kati na ndako na yo to ntaba mobali kati na etonga na yo ya bibwele,
10 for I own all the animals of the forest, and the cattle on a thousand hills belong to me.
pamba te banyama nyonso ya zamba ezali ya ngai; ezala ata ebele ya banyama oyo ezali kati na bangomba, nyonso ezali ya ngai.
11 I know every bird of the mountains; all living things in the fields are mine.
Nayebi bandeke nyonso ya bangomba; mpe banyama ya bilanga ezali ya ngai.
12 If I were hungry, I wouldn't tell you, for the earth and everything in it are mine.
Soki nazalaki na nzala, nalingaki koyebisa yo te, pamba te mokili mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ezali ya ngai.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
Boni, okanisi penza ete ngai naliaka misuni ya bangombe to namelaka makila ya bantaba?
14 Give an offering of thanks to God; keep the promises you made to the Most High,
Bonzelaka Nzambe matondi lokola mbeka, mpe kokisaka bandayi na yo epai ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo.
15 and call on me when you're in trouble. I will rescue you, and you will thank me.”
Mpe belela ngai na tango ya pasi; nakokangola yo, mpe okopesa ngai nkembo.
16 But to the wicked God says, “What's the point of mechanically repeating my laws or making empty promises about obeying the agreement?
Nzambe alobi na moto mabe: « Mpo na nini opanzaka sango ya mibeko na ngai mpe olobaka na tina na Boyokani na ngai?
17 You hate my discipline, and you toss my words away, leaving them behind you.
Nzokande oyinaka malako na ngai mpe oyokaka te maloba na ngai?
18 When you see people stealing, you admire them; you associate with adulterers.
Soki omoni moyibi, wana nde osepeli; mpe ovandaka esika moko na bato na bikobo.
19 With your mouth you say evil things; you use your tongue to spread lies.
Otikaka monoko na yo kosala mabe, lolemo na yo ebimisaka kaka lokuta.
20 You sit there and speak against your brother, slandering your own mother's son.
Ovandaka mpo na kotonga ndeko na yo, mpe obebisaka lokumu ya bana ya mama na yo.
21 I kept quiet when you did these things. You thought I was someone just like you. But now I confront you, and bring my charges against you.
Yango nde makambo oyo ozalaki kosala; mpe ngai nabatelaki kimia. Okanisi penza ete ngai nazali lokola yo? Nakopamela yo mpe nakotanda makambo nyonso oyo nazwa yo na miso na yo.
22 Think again, you people who dismiss God, or I will tear you apart, and no-one will be able to save you.
Bino bato oyo bozali kobosana Nzambe, nabondeli bino: bososola makambo oyo; noki te nakobebisa bino, mpe moto moko te akokangola bino.
23 But those who give an offering of thanks honor me, and to those who follow the right I will show them the salvation of God.”
Moto oyo abonzaka matondi lokola mbeka, apesaka ngai lokumu; mpe moto oyo asalaka keba na etamboli na ye, nakotalisa ye lobiko ya Nzambe. »
