Psalms 34
1 A Psalm of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Ayembaki yango tango akosanaki liboma liboso ya Abimeleki oyo abenganaki ye, mpe akendeki. Nakopambola Yawe tango nyonso, nakokumisa Ye mikolo nyonso na bibebu na ngai.
2 My soul shall glory in the LORD; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
Tika ete bomoi na ngai emikumisa kati na Yawe; tika ete banyokolami bayoka mpe basepela!
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.
Boya kosakola elongo na ngai ete Yawe azali monene! Tonetola Kombo na Ye, biso nyonso.
4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Nalukaki Yawe, mpe ayanolaki ngai; akangolaki ngai na somo na ngai nyonso.
5 They looked unto Him, and were radiant; and their faces shall never be abashed.
Bato oyo batalaka epai na Ye bangengaka na esengo, mpe bayokisamaka soni ata moke te.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard, and saved him out of all his troubles.
Mobola agangaki, mpe Yawe ayokaka ye; abikisaki ye na pasi na ye nyonso.
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.
Anjelu ya Yawe atongaka molako na ye zingazinga ya bato oyo batosaka Yawe, mpe akangolaka bango.
8 O consider and see that the LORD is good; happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.
Bomeka elengi mpe botala ndenge nini Yawe azali malamu; Esengo na moto oyo azwaka Yawe lokola ebombamelo na ye!
9 O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones; for there is no want to them that fear Him.
Bino basantu ya Yawe, botosa Yawe; pamba te bato oyo batosaka Ye bazangaka eloko moko te.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the LORD want not any good thing.
Bana ya nkosi ezangaka mpe ekufaka nzala, kasi bato oyo balukaka Yawe bakozanga eloko moko.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Bana na ngai, boya, boyoka ngai; Nakolakisa bino kotosa Yawe.
12 Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good therein?
Nani asepelaka na bomoi? Nani alingaka kobika mikolo ebele ya esengo?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Batela lolemo na yo mosika na mabe, mpe bibebu na yo ete eloba lokuta te.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Zala mosika na mabe mpe sala bolamu, luka kimia mpe koba na yango.
15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.
Miso ya Yawe etalaka bato ya sembo, mpe matoyi na Ye eyokaka koganga na bango;
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
kasi Yawe apesaka bato mabe mokongo mpo ete bakanisa bango lisusu te kati na mokili.
17 They cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
Tango bato ya sembo babelelaka, Yawe ayokaka mpe akangolaka bango na pasi na bango nyonso.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
Yawe azali pene ya bato oyo bazoki na mitema mpe abikisaka ba-oyo balembi na milimo na bango.
19 Many are the ills of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Pasi mingi ekangaka moto ya sembo, kasi Yawe akangolaka ye na nyonso,
20 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.
abatelaka mikuwa na ye nyonso mpo ete moko te kati na yango ebukana.
21 Evil shall kill the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.
Mabe ebomaka moto mabe, mpe bayini ya moto ya sembo bakozwa etumbu.
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.
Yawe akangolaka bomoi ya basali na Ye; mpe bato nyonso oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango bakozwa etumbu te.
