Psalms 74
1 A Psalme to give instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put vs away for euer? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheepe of thy pasture?
Nzembo ya Azafi. Oh Nzambe, mpo na nini kosundola biso mpo na tango nyonso? Mpo na nini kongalisa kanda na Yo likolo ya etonga oyo oleisaka?
2 Thinke vpon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of olde, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
Kanisa lisusu lisanga ya bato na Yo, oyo osikola wuta kala, libota oyo okomisa libula na Yo. Kanisa ngomba Siona epai wapi ovandaka.
3 Lift vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
Tika ete matambe na Yo ekoma kino na bisika oyo ebebi nye! Kati na Esika na Yo ya bule, monguna abebisi nyonso;
4 Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
bayini na Yo bagangi lokola nkosi, ata kati na esika oyo okutanaka na biso, batelemisi bendele na bango lokola elembo.
5 He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
Bazali lokola bato oyo basimbi bipasola mpe bazali kokata banzete kati na zamba.
6 But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
Babuki-buki bililingi nyonso oyo batobola na mabaya, na nzela ya bipasola mpe bamarto na bango;
7 They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
batumbi Esika na Yo ya bule, bakweyisi mpe bakomisi mbindo esika oyo Kombo na Yo evandaka.
8 They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues of God in the land.
Bazalaki komilobela: « Tokopanza yango nyonso! » Kati na mokili, bazikisi esika nyonso epai wapi bagumbamelaka Nzambe.
9 We see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe long.
Tozali lisusu komona te bilembo na biso, basakoli bazali lisusu te; mpe moko te kati na biso ayebi tango boni makambo oyo ekowumela.
10 O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
Oh Nzambe, kino tango nini monguna akofinga Yo? Boni, akokoba tango nyonso kotiola Kombo na Yo?
11 Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
Mpo na nini ozongisi loboko na Yo na sima, loboko na Yo ya mobali? Mpo na nini okangi maboko na Yo?
12 Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
Nzokande, Yo Nzambe, ozali Mokonzi na ngai wuta kala; Yo nde omemaka lobiko kati na mokili.
13 Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Yo nde opasolaki ebale na nguya na Yo, opanzaki mito ya bilima ya mayi;
14 Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
Yo nde opanzaki mito ya Leviatani mpe opesaki yango lokola bilei epai ya banyama ya esobe;
15 Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
Yo nde osalaki ete bitima ya mayi mpe miluka etiola, mpe okawusaki bibale mpo na libela.
16 The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
Moyi ezali ya Yo, butu mpe ezali ya Yo; Yo nde osalaki sanza mpe moyi.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Ezali Yo nde otiaki bandelo nyonso ya mokili, Yo nde osalaki tango ya malili mpe tango ya moyi.
18 Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
Yawe, kobosana te ete monguna afingi Yo, ete bato bazanga tina batioli Kombo na Yo!
19 Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.
Kokaba te bomoi ya ebenga na Yo na monoko ya nyama oyo ezali na nzala, kobosana te mpo na libela bomoi ya babola oyo bazali bato na Yo!
20 Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
Tala lisusu Boyokani na Yo! Pamba te, kati na mokili, bisika ya molili ekomi ebele, etondi na makambo na kanza.
21 Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
Sala ete moto oyo bazali konyokola azwa lisusu lokumu! Sala ete mobola mpe moto akelela bakumisa Kombo na Yo.
22 Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
Oh Nzambe, telema mpe lobela Kombo na Yo! Kanisa lisusu ndenge nini bazoba bafingaka Yo mikolo nyonso!
23 Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.
Kobosana te makelele ya bayini na Yo, mangungu ya banguna na Yo, oyo ezali kaka komata se komata!
