Psalms 40
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. I waited patiently for the LORD; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Natiaki elikya na ngai kati na Yawe; abalukaki epai na ngai mpe ayokaki koganga na ngai.
2 He brought me up also out of the tumultuous pit, out of the miry clay; and He set my feet upon a rock, He established my goings.
Abimisaki ngai na libulu ya mozindo, kati na potopoto; atelemisaki ngai na likolo ya libanga mpe alendisaki makolo na ngai.
3 And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Atiaka nzembo ya sika kati na monoko na ngai, nzembo ya masanzoli mpo na Nzambe na biso. Bato ebele bakomona, bakobanga mpe bakotiela Yawe motema.
4 Happy is the man that hath made the LORD his trust, and hath not turned unto the arrogant, nor unto such as fall away treacherously.
Esengo na moto oyo atiaka elikya kati na Yawe, kasi atalelaka te bato ya lolendo mpe bakosi.
5 Many things hast Thou done, O LORD my God, even Thy wonderful works, and Thy thoughts toward us; there is none to be compared unto Thee! If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be told.
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, bikamwa mpe mabongisi oyo osalaka mpo na biso ezali ebele penza. Moko te akokani na Yo; nalingi kotatola mpe kopanza sango na yango, kasi motango na yango eleki ebele.
6 Sacrifice and meal-offering Thou hast no delight in; mine ears hast Thou opened; burnt-offering and sin-offering hast Thou not required.
Osepelaki te na bambeka mpe na makabo, kasi ofungolaki matoyi na ngai; osengaki te makabo ya kotumba mpe bambeka mpo masumu.
7 Then said I: 'Lo, I am come with the roll of a book which is prescribed for me;
Bongo nalobaki: « Ngai oyo, nayei epai na Yo kolanda ndenge ekomami na tina na ngai kati na buku.
8 I delight to do Thy will, O my God; yea, Thy law is in my inmost parts.'
Nzambe na ngai, nasepelaka kosala mokano na Yo, Mobeko na Yo ezali kati na motema na ngai. »
9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation, lo, I did not refrain my lips; O LORD, Thou knowest.
Nasakolaka bosembo na Yo kati na mayangani, nakokanga monoko na ngai te; Yawe, oyebi yango!
10 I have not hid Thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation; I have not concealed Thy mercy and Thy truth from the great congregation.
Nabombaka bosembo na Yo te kati na motema na ngai, natatolaka boyengebene mpe lobiko na Yo kati na mayangani, nakobomba yango ata moke te.
11 Thou, O LORD, wilt not withhold Thy compassions from me; let Thy mercy and Thy truth continually preserve me.
Yawe, kopimela ngai mawa na Yo te; kasi sala ete bolingo mpe bosolo na Yo ebatelaka ngai tango nyonso.
12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about, mine iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart hath failed me.
Pamba te makambo ebele ya pasi ezingeli ngai, mabunga na ngai ekomi konyokola ngai, mpe nazali kokoka lisusu te kotala yango; ezali ebele koleka suki ya moto na ngai, mpe motema na ngai elembi kati na ngai.
13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me; O LORD, make haste to help me.
Yawe, nabondeli Yo, kangola ngai; Yawe, yaka noki kosunga ngai.
14 Let them be ashamed and abashed together that seek after my soul to sweep it away; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.
Tika ete bato oyo balukaka kufa na ngai bakufa soni mpe basambwa! Tika ete bato oyo bazelaka libebi na ngai bazonga sima mpe babungisa lokumu na bango!
15 Let them be appalled by reason of their shame that say unto me: 'Aha, aha.'
Tika ete ba-oyo balobaka na ngai: « Ah! Ah! » bayoka somo mpe bakufa soni!
16 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'The LORD be magnified.'
Kasi tika ete bato nyonso oyo balukaka Yo batonda na esengo mpe basepela kati na Yo! Tika ete ba-oyo balingaka lobiko na Yo balobaka tango nyonso: « Yawe azali monene! »
17 But, as for me, that am poor and needy, the Lord will account it unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O my God, tarry not.
Solo, nazali mobola mpe moto akelela, kasi tika ete Nkolo asunga mpe akangola ngai. Nzambe na ngai, kowumela te!
