Psalms 119
1 ALEPH. Happy are they that are upright in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.
Esengo na bato oyo bazangi pamela mpe batambolaka kolanda mibeko ya Yawe!
2 Happy are they that keep His testimonies, that seek Him with the whole heart.
Esengo na bato oyo babatelaka malako na Ye mpe balukaka Ye na mitema na bango mobimba!
3 Yea, they do no unrighteousness; they walk in His ways.
Basalaka mabe te, kasi balandaka banzela ya Nzambe.
4 Thou hast ordained Thy precepts, that we should observe them diligently.
Opesaki mibeko mpo ete etosama malamu.
5 Oh that my ways were directed to observe Thy statutes!
Tika ete nabongisa etamboli na ngai mpo ete natosa mitindo na Yo!

Nalingi kotosa mitindo na Yo; kosundola ngai libela te!

Mitema na bango ezali mabanga; kasi ngai, nasepelaka na mibeko na Yo.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, in order that I might learn Thy statutes.
Ezalaki penza malamu mpo na ngai ete obeta ngai, mpo ete nayekola mitindo na Yo.

Tika ete motema na ngai ezanga pamela mpo na kotosa mitindo na Yo, mpo ete nakufa soni te.
81 CAPH. My soul pineth for Thy salvation; in Thy word do I hope.
Natondi na posa ya lobiko na Yo, nazali na elikya kati na liloba na Yo.
82 Mine eyes fail for Thy word, saying: 'When wilt Thou comfort me?'
Miso na ngai elembi kozela kokokisama ya elaka na Yo; nakomi komituna: « Okobondisa ngai tango nini? »
83 For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; yet do I not forget Thy statutes.
Nakomi lokola mbeki oyo ezali kokawuka na milinga, nzokande nabosanaka mitindo na Yo te.
84 How many are the days of Thy servant? When wilt Thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
Mikolo ya bomoi ya mosali na Yo ezali motango boni? Mokolo nini okopesa banyokoli na ngai etumbu?
85 The proud have digged pits for me, which is not according to Thy law.
Bato ya lolendo batimoli mabulu mpo na kokanga ngai, baboyi kotosa mibeko na Yo.
86 All Thy commandments are faithful; they persecute me for nought; help Thou me.
Mibeko na Yo nyonso ezali sembo; kasi bazali konyokola ngai kaka pamba; yaka kosunga ngai!
87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but as for me, I forsook not Thy precepts.
Etikali moke mpo ete balongola ngai na mokili; kasi atako bongo, nasundoli mibeko na Yo te.
88 Quicken me after Thy lovingkindness, and I will observe the testimony of Thy mouth.
Kati na bolingo na Yo, batela bomoi na ngai mpo ete natosa malako na Yo.
89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, Thy word standeth fast in heaven.
Yawe, liloba na Yo ezali mpo na seko, epikama kati na likolo;
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations; Thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
boyengebene na Yo ekowumela seko na seko. Okela mabele, mpe ezali kaka kino na mokolo ya lelo;
91 They stand this day according to Thine ordinances; for all things are Thy servants.
opesa mibeko, mpe ezali kaka kino na mokolo ya lelo, pamba te nyonso kati na mokili mobimba epesaka Yo lokumu.
92 Unless Thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
Soki nasepelaki na mibeko na Yo te, mbele nakufa kala kati na pasi na ngai.

Motema na ngai etutami makasi; Yawe, batela bomoi na ngai kolanda liloba na Yo.
108 Accept, I beseech Thee, the freewill-offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me Thine ordinances.
Yawe, ndima likabo ya bibebu na ngai, mpe teya ngai mibeko na Yo.
109 My soul is continually in my hand; yet have I not forgotten Thy law.
Solo, nakutanaka tango nyonso na makama, kasi nabosanaka mibeko na Yo te.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me; yet went I not astray from Thy precepts.
Bato mabe batiaka mitambo mpo ete nakweya, kasi nakangamaka kaka na mibeko na Yo.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever; for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
Malako na Yo ezali libula na ngai mpo na libela, esalaka esengo ya motema na ngai.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Thy statutes, for ever, at every step.
Nazwa mokano ya kotambola kolanda mitindo na Yo, tango nyonso, kino na suka.

Nayinaka bato ya mitema mibale, kasi nalingaka nde mibeko na Yo.
114 Thou art my covert and my shield; in Thy word do I hope.
Ozali ebombamelo mpe nguba na ngai; natiaka elikya kati na liloba na Yo.

Bato ya misala mabe, bokende mosika na ngai! Nakotosa mibeko ya Nzambe na ngai!
116 Uphold me according unto Thy word, that I may live; and put me not to shame in my hope.
Sunga ngai kolanda elaka na Yo, mpe nakobika; koyokisa elikya na ngai soni te.

Obwakaka bato nyonso oyo bapesaka mitindo na Yo mokongo, pamba te mokano na bango ezalaka ya lokuta.
119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross; therefore I love Thy testimonies.
Olongolaka bato nyonso ya mabe ya mokili lokola bosoto; yango wana nalingaka malako na Yo.
120 My flesh shuddereth for fear of Thee; and I am afraid of Thy judgments.
Nalengaka na somo liboso na Yo mpe nabangaka mikano na Yo.

Nazali kobelela Yo na motema na ngai mobimba: « Yawe, yanola ngai; nakotosa mitindo na Yo!
146 I have called Thee, save me, and I will observe Thy testimonies.

Yoka ngai na bolingo na Yo! Yawe, batela bomoi na ngai kolanda mibeko na Yo!
150 They draw nigh that follow after wickedness; they are far from Thy law.
Bato oyo basalaka mabongisi mabe, oyo batosaka mibeko na Yo te, bazali koya pene na ngai.
151 Thou art nigh, O LORD; and all Thy commandments are truth.
Nzokande Yo, Yawe, ozali pene, mpe mibeko na Yo nyonso ezali bosolo.
152 Of old have I known from Thy testimonies that Thou hast founded them for ever.
Wuta kala, ngai nayebi, na nzela ya malako na Yo, ete otia mibeko yango mpo na libela.
