Psalms 90
1 A prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast bene our habitation from generation to generation.
Losambo ya Moyize, moto na Nzambe. Oh Nkolo, ozalaki ekimelo na biso, na bikeke nyonso.
2 Before the mountaines were made, and before thou hadst formed the earth, and the world, euen from euerlasting to euerlasting thou art our God.
Liboso ete bangomba ezala, liboso ete okela mabele mpe mokili, libela na libela, ozali Nzambe.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction: againe thou sayest, Returne, ye sonnes of Adam.
Ozongisaka moto na putulu, pamba te oloba: « Bino bato, bozonga na putulu! »
4 For a thousande yeeres in thy sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Na miso na Yo, mibu nkoto moko ezali lokola mokolo ya lobi oyo esili koleka, lokola ngonga moko ya butu.
5 Thou hast ouerflowed them: they are as a sleepe: in the morning he groweth like the grasse:
Olekisaka yango lokola pongi ya butu, oyo na tongo, esilaka lokola lititi.
6 In the morning it florisheth and groweth, but in the euening it is cut downe and withereth.
Na tongo, ebimisaka fololo mpe etelaka noki; kasi na pokwa, enzulukaka mpe ekawuki.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
Kanda na Yo elembisaka biso nzoto, mpe kanda makasi na Yo epesaka biso bobangi.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, and our secret sinnes in the light of thy countenance.
Otiaka masumu na biso liboso na Yo mpe obimisaka na polele makambo oyo tobombaka.
9 For all our dayes are past in thine anger: we haue spent our yeeres as a thought.
Mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na biso elimwaka mpo na kanda na Yo, mpe mibu na biso esilaka lokola kolela.
10 The time of our life is threescore yeeres and ten, and if they be of strength, fourescore yeeres: yet their strength is but labour and sorowe: for it is cut off quickly, and we flee away.
Molayi ya bomoi na biso ekoki kozala mibu tuku sambo to mibu tuku mwambe mpo na bato oyo baleki makasi; nzokande, etondi na pasi mpe na minyoko, pamba te elekaka noki, mpe tolimwaka.
11 Who knoweth the power of thy wrath? for according to thy feare is thine anger.
Nani ayebi makasi ya kanda na Yo? Moto oyo azalaka na botosi mingi epai na Yo asosolaka malamu kanda makasi na Yo.
12 Teach vs so to nomber our dayes, that we may apply our heartes vnto wisdome.
Lakisa biso kotanga malamu mikolo ya bomoi na biso mpo ete tokoma na mitema ya bwanya.
13 Returne (O Lord, howe long?) and be pacified toward thy seruants.
Yawe, lembisa moke! Kino tango nini ekowumela? Yokela basali na Yo mawa!
14 Fill vs with thy mercie in the morning: so shall we reioyce and be glad all our dayes.
Tongo nyonso, tondisaka biso na bolingo na Yo mpe tokoganga na esengo, mpe tokosepela mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na biso.
15 Comfort vs according to the dayes that thou hast afflicted vs, and according to the yeeres that we haue seene euill.
Zongisela biso na mikolo ya esengo, mikolo oyo onyokolaki biso; zongisela biso na mibu ya esengo, mibu oyo tomonaki pasi.
16 Let thy worke bee seene towarde thy seruants, and thy glory vpon their children.
Tika ete biso, basali na Yo, tomona misala na Yo; mpe ete bana na biso bamona kongenga makasi ya nkembo na Yo!
17 And let the beautie of the Lord our God be vpon vs, and direct thou the worke of our hands vpon vs, euen direct the worke of our handes.
Tika ete boboto ya Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, ezala elongo na biso! Mpo na biso, sala ete misala na biso ekende liboso! Iyo, sala ete misala na biso ekende kaka liboso!
