Psalms 81
1 Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Azafi. Ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Boganga na esengo epai ya Nzambe, makasi na biso! Bobetela Nzambe ya Jakobi maboko!
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Boyemba banzembo, bobeta bambunda mike, lindanda oyo ebimisaka lokito kitoko mpe nzenze!
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Bobeta kelelo na ebandeli ya sanza, na tango oyo sanza mobimba engengaka, mpo na mokolo ya feti na biso!
4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
Pamba te ezali mobeko mpo na Isalaele, mpe mokano ya Nzambe ya Jakobi.
5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
Atiaki yango lokola mobeko mpo na Jozefi tango abundisaki Ejipito. Nazali koyoka lokota oyo nayebi te:
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
« Nalongolaki mokumba oyo ezalaki na mapeka na ye, mpe maboko na ye elongwaki na bowumbu ya kosimba bitunga. »
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Tango ozalaki koganga mpo na pasi, nakangolaki yo, nayanolaki yo kati na kake epai wapi nabombamaki, namekaki yo pembeni ya mayi ya Meriba.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
Bato na ngai, boyoka ngai! Mpe nakokebisa bino. Ah Isalaele, soki kaka ozalaki koyokela ngai!
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Okozala na nzambe ya mopaya te kati na yo, okogumbamela nzambe mosusu te, longola kaka ngai!
10 I am Yhwh thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito; fungola malamu monoko na yo, mpe nakotondisa yango.
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
Kasi bato na ngai bayokaki mongongo na ngai te, Isalaele aboyaki kotosa ngai.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
Mpo na yango, natikaki bango kotambola kolanda baposa ya mitema makasi na bango; mpe balandaki makanisi na bango.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
Soki bato na ngai bazalaki koyokela ngai, soki Isalaele azalaki kolanda banzela na ngai,
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
nalingaki mbala moko koyokisa banguna na bango soni mpe kobundisa bayini na bango.
15 The haters of Yhwh should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
Mpe bato oyo bayinaka Yawe balingaki komikitisa liboso na Ye, mpe etumbu na bango elingaki kowumela mpo na libela.
16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
Yawe alingaki koleisa Isalaele bilei ya kitoko mpe kotondisa bango na mafuta ya nzoyi.
