Psalms 36
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks — there is no fear of God before his eyes.
Nzembo ya Davidi, mowumbu ya Yawe. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Kati na motema na ngai, nazali na sango kowuta na Nzambe na tina na bato mabe oyo batondi na masumu: Kotosa Nzambe ezali na tina ata moke te na miso na bango.
2 For it flattereth him in his eyes, until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.
Bamipesaka lokumu makasi, bandimaka te mpe bayinaka masumu na bango te.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
Minoko na bango ebimisaka maloba mabe mpe lokuta, baboyaka kosala na bokebi mpe kosala bolamu.
4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
Ezala na bambeto na bango, basalaka kaka mabongisi ya kosala mabe, batambolaka te mpo na kosala bolamu mpe baboyaka mabe te.
5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
Yawe, bolingo na Yo ekenda kino na likolo, boyengebene na Yo kino na mapata.
6 Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.
Bosembo na Yo ezali lokola bangomba ya Nzambe, mikano na Yo ezali mozindo lokola lubwaku ya molayi. Yawe, obikisaka bato mpe banyama.
7 How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.
Oh Nzambe, tala ndenge nini bolingo na Yo ezali motuya! Bato bazwaka ebombamelo na elili ya mapapu na Yo.
8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.
Baliaka mpe batondaka bilei ya Ndako na Yo, mpe omelisaka bango mayi kowuta na bolingo monene na Yo.
9 For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light do we see light.
Pamba te etima ya bomoi ezali elongo na Yo; kati na pole na Yo nde tomonaka pole.
10 O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Koba kotalisa bolingo na Yo epai ya bato oyo bayebi Yo, mpe bosembo na Yo epai ya bato ya mitema alima.
11 Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Tika ete bato ya lolendo bakoma te kino epai na ngai, mpe tika ete bato mabe babengana ngai te.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are thrust down, and are not able to rise.
Tala ndenge nini bato ya misala mabe bakweyi, balali na mabele, bazangi makoki ya kotelema.
