Psalms 10
1 Why standest thou farre off, O Lord, and hidest thee in due time, euen in affliction?
Yawe, mpo na nini otelemi mosika? Mpo na nini obombami na tango ya pasi?
2 The wicked with pride doeth persecute the poore: let them be taken in the craftes that they haue imagined.
Na lolendo na ye, moto mabe oyo akangami na mabongisi na ye anyokolaka mobola.
3 For the wicked hath made boast of his owne heartes desire, and the couetous blesseth himselfe: he contemneth the Lord.
Pamba te moto mabe amikumisaka na tina na posa makasi ya motema na ye, apambolaka moto oyo azali na lokoso mpe afingaka Yawe.
4 The wicked is so proude that hee seeketh not for God: hee thinketh alwayes, There is no God.
Na lolendo na ye, moto mabe alobaka: « Nzambe azalaka te. » Kati na makanisi na ye nyonso, ezali na esika te mpo na Nzambe.
5 His wayes alway prosper: thy iudgements are hie aboue his sight: therefore defieth he all his enemies.
Misala na ye ekendeke liboso tango nyonso, asalaka keba te na mikano na Yo, Yawe; atiolaka banguna na ye nyonso.
6 He saith in his heart, I shall neuer be moued, nor be in danger.
Amilobelaka: « Eloko moko te ekotikala kolengisa ngai. » Alapaka ndayi boye: « Moko te akotikala kosala ngai mabe. »
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceite and fraude: vnder his tongue is mischiefe and iniquitie.
Monoko na ye etonda na bilakeli mabe, lokuta mpe mangungu; abongisaka kaka pasi mpe mabe.
8 He lieth in waite in the villages: in the secret places doeth hee murder the innocent: his eyes are bent against the poore.
Abombamaka pene ya bamboka. Wuta na bisika oyo abombamaka, abomaka moto oyo asali mabe te. Miso na ye ezelaka na kobombama bato ya koboma.
9 He lyeth in waite secretly, euen as a lyon in his denne: he lyeth in waite to spoyle the poore: he doeth spoyle the poore, when he draweth him into his net.
Abombamaka lokola nkosi kati na evandelo na yango, abombamaka mpo na kokanga moto oyo azangi nguya; akangaka moto oyo azangi nguya na kotindika ye pembeni ya motambo.
10 He croucheth and boweth: therefore heaps of the poore doe fall by his might.
Agumbaka ye mpe avandisaka ye na mabele, mpe akweyaka na se ya bokonzi na ye.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten, he hideth away his face, and will neuer see.
Amilobelaka: « Nzambe akotikala koyeba te, abombaka elongi na Ye mpe akotikala komona te. »
12 Arise, O Lord God: lift vp thine hande: forget not the poore.
Oh Yawe, telema. Nzambe, sembola loboko na Yo, kanisa babola.
13 Wherefore doeth the wicked contemne God? he saith in his heart, Thou wilt not regard.
Mpo na nini moto mabe afinga Nzambe? Mpo na nini amilobela: « Nzambe akopesa ngai etumbu te? »
14 Yet thou hast seene it: for thou beholdest mischiefe and wrong, that thou mayest take it into thine handes: the poore committeth himselfe vnto thee: for thou art the helper of the fatherlesse.
Pamba te, Yo Nzambe, omoni pasi ya banyokolami; otalaka pasi na bango mpe ozwaka yango kati na loboko na Yo. Banyokolami bamipesaka epai na Yo oyo osungaka bana bitike.
15 Breake thou the arme of the wicked and malicious: searche his wickednes, and thou shalt finde none.
Bebisa nguya ya moto mabe, pesa moto ya misala mabe etumbu mpo na mabe na ye, mpo ete emonana lisusu te.
16 The Lord is King for euer and euer: the heathen are destroyed foorth of his land.
Yawe azali Mokonzi mpo na seko, bapagano bakozala lisusu te kati na mokili na Ye.
17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the poore: thou preparest their heart: thou bendest thine eare to them,
Yawe, oyokaka posa ya banyokolami, olendisaka bango, mpe oyokaka koganga na bango,
18 To iudge the fatherlesse and poore, that earthly man cause to feare no more.
mpo na kolongisa mwana etike mpe monyokolami; boye, bato ya mokili bakobangisa lisusu te.
