< Psalms 52 >
1 For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki tango Doegi, moto ya Edomi, akendeki koyebisa Saulo ete Davidi akoti na ndako ya Ayimeleki. Yo elombe, mpo na nini ozali komikumisa na tina na mabe? Bolingo ya Nzambe emonanaka mikolo nyonso.
2 You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!
Yo oyo otambolaka na lokuta, lolemo na yo esalaka mabongisi ya libebi, ekosaka lokola mbeli bapelisa malamu.
3 You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)
Olingaka mabe koleka bolamu, lokuta koleka koloba bosolo.
4 You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!
Oh lolemo ya lokuta, olingaka maloba nyonso oyo epanzaka.
5 But God will strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Solo, Ye moko Nzambe akobebisa yo mpo na libela, akokanga yo kati na ndako na yo, akobwaka yo libanda mpe akopikola yo na mokili ya bato ya bomoi.
6 Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,
Bato ya sembo bakomona mpe bakokoma na somo, bakotiola ye na maloba oyo:
7 “See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”
« Tala moto oyo azalaki te kozwa Nzambe lokola ebombamelo na ye, azalaki kotiela bozwi na ye motema, mpe kobakisa makasi na ye na nzela ya kobebisa bato mosusu. »
8 But I'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever and ever.
Kasi ngai, kati na Ndako na Yo, nazali lokola nzete ya olive oyo etondi na makasa ya mobesu; natiaka tango nyonso elikya na ngai kati na bolingo monene ya Nzambe, mpo na libela.
9 I will praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
Nakosanzola Yo mikolo nyonso, mpo na oyo osali; mpe nazalaka na elikya kati na Kombo na Yo, pamba te ozali malamu mpo na bayengebene na Yo.
