Psalms 55
1 For the end, among Hymns of instruction by David. Listen, O God, to my prayer; and disregard not my supplication.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe, yoka libondeli na ngai, komibomba te wana nazali kobelela Yo.
2 Attend to me, and listen to me: I was grieved in my (meditation) and troubled;
Yoka ngai mpe yanola ngai. Kati na kolela na ngai, nakomi koyengayenga mpe nazangi kimia,
3 because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the sinner: for they brought iniquity against me, and were wrathfully angry with me.
mpo na maloba ya monguna na ngai mpe kanda ya moto mabe, pamba te bazali kokweyisela ngai misala mabe mpe konyokola ngai na kanda.
4 My heart was troubled within me; and the fear of death fell upon me.
Motema na ngai etondi na mawa, mpe somo ya kufa ekangi ngai.
5 Fear and trembling came upon me, and darkness covered me.
Nakomi kobanga mpe kolenga, somo monene ekangi ngai.
6 And I said, O that I had wings as [those] of a dove! then would I flee away, and be at rest.
Nakomi komilobela: « Soki nazalaki ata na mapapu ya ebenga, nalingaki kopumbwa mpo na koluka bopemi;
7 Behold! I have fled afar off, and lodged in the wilderness. (Pause)
nalingaki kokima mosika penza, mpo na kokende kovanda ata na esobe.
8 I waited for him that should deliver me from distress of spirit and tempest.
Solo, na lombangu penza, nalingaki kokende koluka ebombamelo mpo na kokima mopepe makasi mpe ekumbaki. »
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen iniquity and gain saying in the city.
Nkolo, bebisa mabongisi ya banguna na ngai mpe kotisa mobulu kati na bango; pamba te, kati na engumba, nazali komona mobulu mpe bokabwani.
10 Day and night he shall go round about it upon its walls: iniquity and sorrow and unrighteousness [are] in the midst of it;
Butu mpe moyi, ezali kotambola na bamir na yango; misala mabe mpe ya kanza etondi kati na yango.
11 and usury and craft have not failed from its streets.
Banguya oyo ebebisaka ezali kosala kati na yango, minyoko mpe lokuta ezali kosila te.
12 For if an enemy had reproached me, I would have endured it; and if one who hated [me] had spoken vauntingly against me, I would have hid myself from him.
Soki monguna nde azalaki kofinga ngai, nalingaki kokanga motema; soki ezalaki mpe moyini nde azalaki kotelemela ngai, nalingaki komibomba mpo ete amona ngai te.
13 But you, O man like minded, my guide, and my acquaintance,
Kasi ezali yo, moto lokola ngai, oyo otambolaka elongo na ngai, molingami mpe moninga na ngai ya motema
14 who in companionship with me sweetened [our] food: we walked in the house of God in concord.
oyo nazalaki kokabola elongo na yo, pasi mpe basekele tango tozalaki kokende nzela moko na Tempelo ya Nzambe.
15 Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into Hades, for iniquity is in their dwellings, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
Tika ete kufa ekanga bango na mbalakata mpe bakita ya bomoi kati na mboka ya bakufi; pamba te mabe etondi kati na bandako mpe mitema na bango. (Sheol h7585)
16 I cried to God, and the Lord listened to me.
Mpo na ngai, nabelelaka Nzambe, mpe Yawe akobikisa ngai.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon I will declare and make known [my wants]: and he shall hear my voice.
Tongo, midi, pokwa, nasopaka motema na ngai mpe nalelaka, mpe ayokaka mongongo na ngai.
18 He shall deliver my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for they were with me in many [cases].
Akopesa ngai kimia, akokangola ngai na bitumba oyo babundisaka ngai; pamba te bato oyo batelemeli ngai bazali ebele.
19 God shall hear, and bring them low, [even] he that has existed from eternity. (Pause) For they suffer no reverse, and [therefore] they have not feared God.
Nzambe ayokaka, akosambwisa bango penza; akonzaka mpo na libela na libela. Babongolaka mitema te mpe batosaka Nzambe te.
20 He has reached forth his hand for retribution; they have profaned his covenant.
Abundisi balingami na ye, abebisi boyokani na ye.
21 They were scattered at the anger of his countenance, and his heart drew near them. His words were smoother than oil, yet are they darts.
Maloba ya monoko na ye ezalaka sukali, nzokande bitumba evandi kati na motema na ye; maloba na ye ezalaka ya kimia koleka mafuta, nzokande ezali mopanga oyo ezangi ebombelo.
22 Cast your care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain you; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Bwakela Yawe mokumba na yo, akosunga yo; akotika te ete moto ya sembo akweya mpo na libela.
23 But you, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in you, O Lord.
Mpe Yo, Nzambe, okobwaka basopi makila mpe bakosi kati na libulu ya libebi; bakokokisa ata kati-kati te ya mikolo ya bomoi na bango. Kasi ngai, natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo.
