Psalms 102
1 A Prayer for the Poor; when he is deeply afflicted, and pours out his supplication before the Lord. Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come to you.
Libondeli ya moto na pasi, oyo abungisi elikya mpe azali kolela liboso ya Yawe. Yawe, yoka libondeli na ngai! Tika ete koganga na ngai ekoma kino epai na Yo!
2 Turn not away your face from me: in the day [when] I am afflicted, incline your ear to me: in the day [when] I shall call upon you, speedily hear me.
Kobombela ngai elongi na Yo te, wana nazali na pasi. Yoka libondeli na ngai na mokolo oyo nazali kobelela Yo; yanola ngai noki!
3 For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have been parched like a stick.
Pamba te mikolo ya bomoi na ngai ezali kolimwa lokola molinga, mikuwa na ngai ezali kozika lokola makala ya moto.
4 I am blighted like grass, and my heart is dried up; for I have forgotten to eat my bread.
Motema na ngai ebungisi elikya mpe ezali komitungisa lokola matiti oyo bakati; mpo na yango, nakomi ata kobosana kolia bilei na ngai.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bone has cleaved to my flesh.
Mpo ete naleli makasi, natikali kaka na poso ya nzoto likolo ya mikuwa.
6 I have become like a pelican of the wilderness;
Nakomi lokola esulungutu ya esobe, lokola esulungutu ya bisika oyo ebeba.
7 I have become like an owl in a ruined house. I have watched, and am become as a sparrow dwelling alone on a roof.
Pongi ekimi ngai; nakomi lokola ndeke oyo etikali yango moko na likolo ya ndako.
8 All the day long mine enemies have reproached me; and they that praised me have sworn against me.
Banguna na ngai batombokeli ngai, bazali kofinga ngai tango nyonso mpe bazali kosalela kombo na ngai mpo na kolakela bato mabe.
9 For I have eaten ashes as it were bread, and mingled my drink with weeping;
Nakomi kolia putulu na esika ya bilei, mpe komela mayi esangana na mpinzoli na ngai.
10 because of your anger and your wrath: for you have lifted me up, and dashed me down.
Mpo na kanda monene na Yo, otombokeli ngai mpe obwaki ngai mosika.
11 My days have declined like a shadow; and I am withered like grass.
Mikolo ya bomoi na ngai ezali kokima lokola elili, mpe nakawuki lokola matiti.
12 But you, Lord, endure for ever, and your memorial to generation and generation.
Kasi Yo Yawe, ozali Mokonzi mpo na libela, ozali Nzambe seko na seko.
13 You shall arise, and have mercy upon Sion: for [it is] time to have mercy upon her, for the set time is come.
Okotelema solo mpo na Siona, pamba te ekomi tango ya koyokela yango mawa; tango oyo ekatama ekoki.
14 For your servants have taken pleasure in her stones, and they shall pity her dust.
Pamba te biso basali na Yo, tosepelaka na mabanga na yango, mpe toyokelaka putulu na yango mawa.
15 So the nations shall fear your name, O Lord, and all kings your glory.
Bikolo ekotosa Yawe, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya mokili bakondima nkembo na Yo.
16 For the Lord shall build up Sion, and shall appear in his glory.
Pamba te Yawe akotonga lisusu Siona mpe akomonana kati na nkembo na Ye.
17 He has had regard to the prayer of the lowly, and has not despised their petition.
Akoyanola libondeli ya bato oyo babungisaki biloko, mpe akondima mabondeli na bango.
18 Let this be written for another generation; and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord.
Tika ete bakoma yango mpo na ekeke oyo ekolanda, mpo ete bikelamu ya sika ekumisa Yawe.
19 For he has looked out from the height of his sanctuary; the Lord looked upon the earth from heaven;
Wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule, wuta na likolo, Yawe atalaki biso awa na mokili
20 to hear the groaning of the fettered ones, to loosen the sons of the slain;
mpo na koyoka kolela ya bakangami kati na boloko mpe kokangola bato oyo bazwaki etumbu ya kufa.
21 to proclaim the name of the Lord in Sion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
Kombo ya Yawe ekokende sango kati na Siona, mpe masanzoli na Ye, kati na Yelusalemi
22 when the people are gathered together, and the kings, to serve the Lord.
tango bato mpe bikolo bakosangana mpo na kogumbamela Yawe.
23 He answered him in the way of his strength: tell me the fewness of my days.
Na bomoi na ngai, abukaki lolendo ya makasi na ngai, mpe akitisaki motango ya mikolo ya bomoi na ngai.
24 Take me not away in the midst of my days: your years [are] through all generations.
Nalobaki: « Nzambe na ngai, Yo oyo ozali na bomoi seko na seko, koboma ngai te na kati-kati ya mikolo ya bomoi na ngai!
25 In the beginning you, O Lord, did lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of your hands.
Na kala, otiaki miboko ya mokili, mpe maboko na Yo esalaki Likolo.
26 They shall perish, but you remain: and [they all] shall wax old as a garment; and as a vesture shall you fold them, and they shall be changed.
Bango, bakokufa; kasi Yo, okotikala seko na seko. Nzoto na bango ekolemba lokola elamba; okobongola bango lokola kazaka, mpe bakolimwa.
27 But you are the same, and your years shall not fail.
Kasi Yo, ozali ndenge moko, mibu na Yo ekotikala kosuka te.
28 The children of your servants shall dwell [securely], and their seed shall prosper for ever.
Bana ya basali na Yo bakozwa esika ya kovanda, mpe bakitani na bango bakowumela liboso na Yo. »
