< Psalms 56 >
1 BE merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na « Ebenga ya terebente ya mosika. » Nzembo ya Davidi, tango bato ya Filisitia bakangaki ye kati na mboka Gati. Nzambe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te bato bazali kotungisa ngai. Babundisaka mpe banyokolaka ngai mikolo nyonso.
2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
Bayini na ngai batungisaka ngai mikolo nyonso; bato oyo babundisaka ngai na lolendo bazali ebele.
3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
Mokolo oyo nazalaka na bobangi, natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo.
4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
Epai ya Nzambe, nakumisaka Liloba na Ye; Epai ya Nzambe, natiaka motema mpe nabangaka te. Moto oyo akokufa akoki kosala ngai nini?
5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Babongolaka maloba na ngai mikolo nyonso; mabongisi na bango nyonso ezalaka mpo na kosala ngai mabe.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
Basalaka makita, babombamaka, balandaka ngai mpo na kosala ngai mabe.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
Mpo na makambo oyo ya mabe, boni, bazanga etumbu? Oh Nzambe, kweyisela bikolo kanda na Yo!
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
Solo, oyebi motango ya matambe ya bomoi na ngai ya mitelengano. Sopa mpinzoli na ngai kati na mbeki na Yo, oyo ezali buku na Yo ya ekaniseli.
9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
Bongo, na mokolo oyo nakobelela mpo na kosenga lisungi, banguna na ngai bakozonga sima. Na nzela ya likambo yango, nakoyeba ete Nzambe azali mpo na ngai.
10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.
Pembeni ya Nzambe oyo nakumisaka Liloba na Ye, pembeni ya Yawe oyo nakumisaka Liloba na Ye,
11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
pembeni ya Nzambe oyo natielaka motema mpe nazalaka na bobangi te, moto akoki kosala ngai nini?
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
Epai na Yo Nzambe, nakokokisa bandayi na ngai mpe nakobonza bambeka ya matondi.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
Pamba te okangoli ngai na kufa mpe obateli makolo na ngai ete ebeta mabaku te, mpo ete natambola liboso na Yo Nzambe kati na pole ya bomoi.
