Psalms 18
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, O Lord my strength.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi, mosali na Yawe. Ayembelaki Yawe nzembo na maloba oyo, tango Yawe akangolaki ye wuta na maboko ya banguna na ye nyonso mpe na loboko ya Saulo. Oh Yawe, makasi na ngai, nalingaka Yo.
2 The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge.
Yawe azali libanga na ngai, ndako na ngai ya makasi mpe mokangoli na ngai; azali Nzambe na ngai, libanga na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai; azali nguba na ngai, Mobikisi na ngai, mpe ekimelo na ngai.
3 I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
Nabelelaki Yawe oyo abongi na lokumu, mpe nakangolamaki wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
4 The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide.
Basinga ya kufa efinaki ngai, mpela ya libebi epesaki ngai somo.
Basinga ya mboka ya bakufi elingaki ngai, mitambo ya kufa ekangaki ngai. (Sheol h7585)
6 But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares.
Kati na pasi na ngai, nabelelaki Yawe, nagangaki epai ya Nzambe na ngai mpo ete asunga ngai. Yawe ayokaki mongongo na ngai wuta na Tempelo na Ye; koganga na ngai mpo na kosenga lisungi ekomaki kino na matoyi na Ye.
7 Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
Mabele ekomaki koningana makasi, miboko ya bangomba elengaki mpe ebukanaki, pamba te Yawe asilikaki.
8 Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.
Milinga ekomaki kobima na zolo na Ye, moto makasi elongo na makala ya moto ekomaki kobima na monoko na Ye.
9 He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
Yawe afungolaki Lola mpe akitaki; mapata ya mwindo ezalaki na se ya matambe na Ye.
10 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.
Amataki na likolo ya Sheribe mpe apumbwaki, apepaki na mapapu ya mopepe.
11 He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.
Akomisaki molili ebombamelo na Ye, kapo na Ye, oyo ezingelaki Ye; mapata minene ezingelaki Ye, mwindo lokola mayi ya mozindo.
12 At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.
Kongenga oyo ezalaki liboso na Ye ezalaki kokimisa mapata, konokisa mvula ya mabanga mpe kobimisa makala ya moto.
13 The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.
Yawe agangaki wuta na Lola, mongongo ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo eyokanaki na nzela ya mvula ya mabanga mpe makala ya moto.
14 Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.
Abwakaki makonga na Ye mpe atindaki yango na bangambo nyonso; abakisaki motango ya mikalikali mpo na kopalanganisa yango.
15 And the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.
Yawe, tango ogangelaki yango, na nzela ya pema na Yo mpe ya milinga ya zolo na Yo, nzela oyo mayi ya ebale elekelaka ebimaki, miboko ya mokili emonanaki na libanda.
16 He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.
Atandaki loboko na Ye wuta na likolo, akamataki ngai mpe abimisaki ngai na likama oyo nazalaki na yango kati na mayi ya mozindo makasi;
17 He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.
akangolaki ngai wuta na maboko ya monguna na ngai ya nguya mpe ya bayini na ngai, pamba te balekaki ngai na makasi.
18 They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
Babundisaki ngai, na mokolo oyo pasi ezalaki kokanga ngai, kasi Yawe azalaki eyekamelo na ngai.
19 Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.
Abimisaki ngai mpo na kokomisa ngai nsomi, akangolaki ngai, pamba te alingaka ngai.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:
Yawe asaleli ngai makambo wana kolanda bosembo na ngai, afuti ngai kolanda bopeto ya maboko na ngai;
21 Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
pamba te nabateli banzela ya Yawe, napesi Nzambe na ngai mokongo te lokola bato mabe.
22 For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.
Natosaka mibeko na Ye nyonso mpe nabatelaka bikateli na Ye.
23 I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.
Epai na Ye, nazalaki moto oyo azangi pamela mpe namibatelaki mpo ete nasala masumu te.
24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.
Yawe afuti ngai kolanda bosembo na ngai, kolanda bopeto ya maboko na ngai na miso na Ye.
25 With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
Solo, otalisaka bosembo na Yo epai ya moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo, mpe bolamu na Yo, epai ya moto oyo azangi pamela.
26 With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
Otalisaka bopeto na Yo epai ya moto ya peto, kasi omibombaka liboso ya moto oyo atambolaka nyoka-nyoka.
27 Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.
Yo nde obikisaka banyokolami, okitisaka bato na lofundu.
28 Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, Yo nde opelisaka mwinda na ngai; obongolaka molili na ngai pole.
29 For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.
Elongo na Yo, nabundisaka mampinga oyo elati bibundeli; mpe na lisungi ya Nzambe na ngai, nakatisaka bamir.
30 The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
Nzela ya Nzambe ezali ya kokoka, Liloba na Yawe ezali na mbeba te; azali nguba mpo na bato nyonso oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango.
31 For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue our God?
Nani azali Nzambe soki Yawe te? Nani azali libanga soki Nzambe na biso te?
32 God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.
Nzambe apesaka ngai makasi mpe akomisaka nzela na ngai ya kokoka;
33 He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places.
akomisaka makolo na ngai lokola ya mboloko, mpe avandisaka ngai na bisika ya likolo;
34 He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
alakisaka ngai kobunda, mpe maboko na ngai ekoki kobenda tolotolo ya bronze.
35 Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase.
Okomisaka lobiko na Yo nguba na ngai, loboko na Yo ya mobali elendisaka ngai, mpe lisungi na Yo ekomisaka ngai makasi.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.
Otambolisaka ngai na kimia, mpe makolo na ngai elengaka te.
37 I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.
Nalandaka banguna na ngai, mpe nakangaka bango; nazongaka kaka soki nasilisi koboma bango.
38 I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
Nabebisaka bango nye, mpe bakokaka lisusu kotelema te; bakweyaka na se ya matambe na ngai.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me.
Opesaka ngai makasi ya bitumba, ogumbaka banguna na ngai mpe otiaka bango na se ya matambe na ngai.
40 And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
Okimisaka banguna na ngai mosika na ngai, mpe nabebisaka bayini na ngai.
41 They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not.
Bagangaka mpo na koluka lisungi, kasi moto oyo akokaki kobikisa bango azalaka te; babelelaka Yawe, kasi ayanolaka bango te.
42 Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes.
Nanikaka bango lokola putulu oyo mopepe epumbwisaka, nanyataka bango lokola potopoto ya nzela.
43 Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me.
Olongisaka ngai na bitumba ya bato, obatelaka ngai mpo ete nazala mokambi ya bikolo. Bato oyo nayebaki te bakomi kosalela ngai.
44 As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me.
Soki kaka bayoki ngai, batosaka ngai; mpe bapaya bayaka mpo ete nasepela na bango.
45 Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
Bango nyonso balembi nzoto mpe bakomi kobima na kolenga wuta na bandako na bango ya makasi.
46 Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation be exalted.
Longonya na Yawe! Tika ete Ye oyo azali libanga na ngai akumisama! Tika ete Nzambe ya lobiko na ngai anetolama!
47 It is God that giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder me.
Azali Nzambe oyo abundelaka ngai, oyo atiaka bikolo na se ya matambe na ngai,
48 O my deliuerer from mine enemies, euen thou hast set mee vp from them, that rose against me: thou hast deliuered mee from the cruell man.
oyo akangolaka ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai. Olongisaka ngai liboso ya banguna na ngai, obikisaka ngai na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
49 Therefore I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy Name.
Yango wana, nakosanzola Yo, Yawe, kati na bikolo; nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
50 Great deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
Yawe apesaka elonga monene epai ya mokonzi na Ye, atalisaka bolingo na Ye epai ya mopakolami na Ye, epai ya Davidi mpe epai ya libota na ye, mpo na libela.
