Psalms 69
1 “To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, by David.” Save me, O God; for the waters are come even to threaten my life.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi: ezali ya koyemba lokola « lisi. » Nzambe, bikisa ngai, pamba te mayi ekomi na kingo na ngai.
2 I am sunk in the mire of the deep, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of the waters, and the flood overfloweth me.
Nazali kozinda na potopoto, na mozindo makasi epai wapi eloko ya kosimba ezali te; nakiti na mozindo ya mayi, mbonge ememi ngai.
3 I am weary of my calling; my throat is hoarse; my eyes fail, while I hope for my God.
Nalembi nzoto likolo ya kobelela lisungi; mongongo na ngai ekawuki, miso na ngai elembi mpo na kotalela Nzambe na ngai.
4 More than the hairs of my head are those that hate me without a cause; numerous are those that would destroy me, that are my enemies wrongfully: what I have not robbed shall I now restore.
Bato oyo bayinaka ngai na kozanga tina bazali ebele koleka motango ya suki ya moto na ngai; ba-oyo balukaka kobebisa bomoi na ngai, oyo bazali banguna na ngai kaka pamba, bazali bato na nguya; bazali kosenga ngai na makasi ete nazongisa eloko oyo nayibaki te.
5 O God, thou art well aware of my folly, and my guilty deeds are from thee not hidden.
Nzambe, oyebi bozoba na ngai, mpe mabe na ngai ezali ya kobombama te na miso na Yo.
6 Let not those that wait on thee, O Lord Eternal of hosts, be made ashamed through me: let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.
Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, tika ete ba-oyo batiaka elikya kati na Yo basila lokumu te likolo na ngai! Nzambe ya Isalaele, tika ete bato oyo balukaka Yo bayokisama soni te likolo na ngai!
7 Because for thy sake have I borne reproach, hath confusion covered my face.
Pamba te nandimi kofingama mpo na Yo, mpe soni ezipi ngai elongi.
8 A stranger am I become unto my brothers, and an alien unto my mother's children.
Bandeko na ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola moto oyo bayebi te, nakomi lokola mopaya na miso ya bana ya mama na ngai.
9 Because the zeal for thy house hath devoured me; and the reproaches of those that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
Pamba te bolingo oyo nazali na yango mpo na ndako na Yo ezali kozikisa ngai, mpe mafinga ya bato oyo bafingaka Yo ezali kokweya na moto na ngai.
10 When I wept at the fasting of my soul, it became a reproach to me.
Soki naleli mpe nakili bilei, nasengeli kaka kofingama;
11 And when I made sackcloth my garment, I became a proverb to them.
soki nalati saki, bato basalaka masapo mpo na kotiola ngai.
12 Those that sit in the gate talk against me; and [about me make] songs the drinkers of strong drink.
Bato oyo bavandi na ekuke batiolaka ngai, balangwi masanga bayembaka kombo na ngai kati na banzembo na bango.
13 But as for me, I direct my prayer unto thee, O Lord, in a time of favor; O God, in the multitude of thy kindness: answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
Yawe, nabondeli Yo! Nzambe, tango ekoki, tango ya kotalisa ngai bolingo monene na Yo! Yanola ngai na nzela ya boyengebene mpe lobiko na Yo!
14 Deliver me out of the mire, that I may not sink: let me be delivered from those that hate me, and out of the depths of the waters.
Bimisa ngai na potopoto, sala ete nazinda lisusu te, nakangolama wuta na maboko ya bayini na ngai mpe nabima na mayi ya mozindo!
15 Let not the flood of waters overflow me, and let not the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit close its mouth upon me.
Tika ete mbonge ya mayi emema ngai lisusu te, mozindo emela lisusu ngai te, mpe libulu ekangamela ngai te!
16 Answer me, O Lord; for thy kindness is good: according to the multitude of thy mercies turn thou unto me.
Yawe, yanola ngai, pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali malamu; baluka epai na ngai, na mawa monene na Yo.
17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress: make haste and answer me.
Kobombela lisusu mosali na Yo te elongi na Yo. Yanola ngai noki, pamba te nazali na pasi.
18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: because of my enemies do thou ransom me.
Pusana pene na ngai, mpe sikola ngai; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bayini na ngai.
19 Thou well knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion: before thee are all my assailants.
Oyebi ndenge nini nazali kofingama, oyebi soni mpe kosambwa na ngai; banguna na ngai nyonso bazali liboso na Yo.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sick; and I waited for pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
Mafinga ezokisi motema na ngai, mpe pota yango ezali kosila te; nazelaki elembo ya mawa kowuta na bato, kasi namonaki yango te; nalukaki babondisi, kasi namonaki bango te.
21 And they put into my food gall; and in my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.
Batiaki ngenge kati na bilei na ngai, mpe bamelisaki ngai vino ya ngayi tango nayokaki posa ya mayi.
22 May [then] their table become a snare before them: and to those that are at peace, a trap.
Tika ete mesa na bango ekoma motambo liboso na bango, mpe kimia na bango ekoma monyama.
23 May their eyes become dark, that they cannot see; and make their loins continually to waver.
Tika ete miso na bango ekufa mpo ete bamona lisusu te, mpe babela mikongo mpo na libela.
24 Pour out over them thy indignation, and let the heat of thy anger overtake them.
Sopela bango kanda makasi na Yo, mpe tika ete kanda na Yo ya makasi ekanga bango.
25 May their palace become desolate: in their tents let no one dwell.
Tika ete molako na bango etikala polele, mpe ete moto moko te avanda na bandako na bango ya kapo.
26 For whom thou hast smitten they persecute; and of the pain of those whom thou but wounded do they converse.
Pamba te bazali konyokola bato oyo ozokisaki, mpe bazali kopanza sango ya pasi ya bato oyo oyokisaki pasi.
27 Lay guilt upon their guilt; and let them not come into thy righteousness.
Bakisa mabe na likolo ya mabe na bango, mpe kokota likambo na bango te na bosembo na Yo.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the righteous let them not be written down.
Tika ete bakombo na bango elongwa na buku ya bomoi, mpe batangama te na molongo ya bato ya sembo.
29 But I am poor and suffering: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
Solo, nazali mobola mpe moto ya pasi; kasi lobiko na Yo, oh Nzambe, ebatelaka ngai.
30 I will praise the name of God with song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Nzambe, mpe nakopesa Ye nkembo elongo na matondi.
31 And this will please the Lord better than an ox or bullock having horns and cloven hoofs.
Yango nde ekosepelisa Yawe, koleka ngombe oyo ezali na maseke mpe na makolo ekabwana.
32 The meek will see this, and be rejoiced: ye that seek God, and your heart shall revive.
Babola bamoni mpe bazali kosepela. Tika ete mitema na bino oyo bolukaka Nzambe ezala na bomoi!
33 For the Lord listeneth unto the needy, and his prisoners he despiseth not.
Pamba te Yawe ayokaka bato oyo bakelela, mpe atiolaka bato na Ye te ata bazali bakangami kati na boloko.
34 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
Tika ete likolo mpe mabele, bibale minene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ekumisa Ye!
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may abide there, and have it in possession:
Pamba te Nzambe akobikisa Siona mpe akotonga lisusu bingumba ya Yuda. Bato bakovanda kuna mpe bakozwa yango lokola libula na bango.
36 And the seed of his servants shall inherit it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
Bakitani ya basali na Ye bakozwa yango lokola libula, mpe bato oyo balingaka Kombo na Ye bakovanda kati na yango.
