Psalms 4
1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda. Nzambe, bosembo na ngai, soki nabeleli Yo, yanola ngai. Kangola ngai na pasi, salela ngai ngolu, mpe yoka libondeli na ngai.
2 O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing? (Selah)
Bino bato, kino tango nini bokoyokisa nkembo na ngai soni? Kino tango nini bokomisepelisa na makambo ya pamba mpe bokolanda makambo ya lokuta?
3 But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Boyeba ete Yawe abulisi mpo na Ye moko mosali oyo azali sembo na miso na Ye; Yawe ayokaka ngai tango nabelelaka Ye.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Soki bosiliki, bosalaka masumu te; soki bolali na mbeto, bolukaka kososola makambo mpe bovandaka kimia.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Bobonzaka bambeka kolanda mibeko mpe botiaka elikya na bino kati na Yawe.
6 There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance on us.
Bato mingi bazali kotuna: « Nani akomemela biso bolamu? » Oh Yawe, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
Tondisa motema na ngai na esengo soki bafuluki na bambuma ya ble elongo na vino ya sika.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.
Nakolala mpe nakozwa pongi na kimia, pamba te, Yo moko Yawe, osalaka ete navanda na kimia.
