Psalms 26
1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in my innocence: and hoping in the Lord I shall not be moved.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, longisa ngai na miso ya basambisi, pamba te natambolaka na bosembo; natielaka Yawe motema, nakozonga sima te.
2 Prove me, O Lord, and try me; purify as with fire my reins and my heart.
Yawe, tala ngai malamu mpe meka ngai, sosola motema mpe makanisi na ngai,
3 For your mercy is before mine eyes: and I am well pleased with your truth.
pamba te napengwaka te liboso ya bolingo na Yo mpe nabikaka bomoi na ngai kolanda bosembo na Yo.
4 I have not sat with the council of vanity, and will in nowise enter in with transgressors.
Navandaka esika moko te na bakosi, natambolaka nzela moko te na bato ya mitema mibale.
5 I have hated the assembly of wicked doers; and will not sit with ungodly [men].
Nayinaka kosangana elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe navandaka te esika moko na bato mabe.
6 I will wash my hands in innocency, and compass your altar, O Lord:
Yawe, nasukoli maboko na ngai mpo na kolakisa ete nasali mabe te, mpe nabandi na etumbelo na Yo,
7 to hear the voice of praise, and to declare all your wonderful works.
mpo na kozongisela Yo matondi mpe kotatola misala minene na Yo.
8 O Lord, I have loved the beauty of your house, and the place of the tabernacle of your glory.
Yawe, nasepelaka na Tempelo epai wapi ovandaka elongo na nkembo na Yo.
9 Destroy not my soul together with the ungodly, nor my life with bloody men:
Kolongola te molimo na ngai nzela moko na bato ya masumu, bomoi na ngai elongo na basopi makila,
10 in whose hands [are] iniquities, [and] their right hand is filled with bribes.
oyo maboko na bango etondi na makila, mpe maboko na bango ya mibali etondi na kanyaka.
11 But I have walked in my innocence: redeem me, and have mercy upon me.
Natambolaka na bomoi ya bosembo; kangola ngai mpe salela ngai ngolu.
12 My foot stands in an even place: in the congregations will I bless you, O Lord.
Makolo na ngai etambolaka na nzela ya alima; nakopambola Yawe kati na mayangani ya monene.
