< Psalms 13 >
1 HOW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi.
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
Yawe, kino tango nini okobosana ngai mpo na libela? Kino tango nini okobomba elongi na Yo mpo ete namona Yo te?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
Kino tango nini nakozala mawa-mawa kati na motema na ngai mpe nakomitungisa mikolo nyonso? Kino tango nini monguna na ngai akolonga ngai?
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, tala mpe yanola ngai. Sala ete miso na ngai emona malamu; soki te, nakokufa,
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
bongo monguna na ngai akoloba: « Nalongi ye, » mpe bayini na ngai bakosepela soki nakweyi.
6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Kasi ngai, natie elikya na ngai kati na bolingo na Yo, mpe motema na ngai ezali kosepela kati na lobiko na Yo. Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, pamba te asaleli ngai bolamu.
