Psalms 4
1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me [when I was] in distress; have mercy upon 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 ye sons of men, how long [will ye turn] my glory into shame? [how long] will ye 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 hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto 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 upon 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 shew us [any] good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
Bato mingi bazali kotuna: « Nani akomemela biso bolamu? » Oh Yawe, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo.
7 Thou hast 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 thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.
Nakolala mpe nakozwa pongi na kimia, pamba te, Yo moko Yawe, osalaka ete navanda na kimia.
