Psalms 57
1 To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until [these] calamities be overpast.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na nzembo « Koboma te. » Nzembo ya Davidi, tango Saulo azalaki kolanda ye, mpe tango Davidi abombamaki kati na libulu. Oh Nzambe, yokela ngai mawa! Yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazali koluka ebombamelo; nazali koluka ebombamelo na se ya mapapu na Yo, kino tango ya pasi ekoleka.
2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth [all things] for me.
Nazali koganga epai ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, epai ya Nzambe oyo asalelaka ngai bolamu.
3 He shall send from heaven, and save me [from] the reproach of him that would swallow me up. (Selah) God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
Akotinda wuta na likolo mpe akobikisa ngai, akopamela bato oyo batungisaka ngai. Nzambe akomonisa bolingo mpe boyengebene na Ye.
4 My soul [is] among lions: [and] I lie [even among] them that are set on fire, [even] the sons of men, whose teeth [are] spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Nazali na kati-kati ya bankosi; nalali na kati-kati ya bato oyo babomaka mpe baliaka bato, oyo minu na bango ezali makonga mpe batolotolo, mpe lolemo na bango ezali mopanga ya minu makasi.
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
Oh Nzambe, tika ete omitombola na likolo ya Lola; tika ete nkembo na Yo ezala awa na mokili mobimba!
6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen [themselves]. (Selah)
Batiaki monyama na makolo na ngai mpo ete nakangama, batimolaki libulu liboso na ngai, kasi bango moko nde bakweyaki kati na libulu yango.
7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Nzambe, lendisa motema na ngai; Nzambe, lendisa motema na ngai. Nakoyembela Yo mpe nakosanzola Yo na mindule.
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I [myself] will awake early.
Lokumu na ngai, lamuka! Lindanda mpe nzenze, bolamuka! Nalingi kolamusa tongo.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
Nkolo, nakosanzola Yo kati na mabota, nakosanzola Yo na mindule kati na bikolo.
10 For thy mercy [is] great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.
Pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali monene, ekenda kino na Lola; mpe bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na mapata.
11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: [let] thy glory [be] above all the earth.
Nzambe, tika ete omitombola na likolo ya Lola; mpe tika ete nkembo na Yo etonda na mokili mobimba!
