Psalms 40
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclines to me, and hears my cry,
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Natiaki elikya na ngai kati na Yawe; abalukaki epai na ngai mpe ayokaki koganga na ngai.
2 And He causes me to come up From a pit of desolation—from mire of mud, And He raises up my feet on a rock, He is establishing my steps.
Abimisaki ngai na libulu ya mozindo, kati na potopoto; atelemisaki ngai na likolo ya libanga mpe alendisaki makolo na ngai.
3 And He puts a new song in my mouth, “Praise to our God.” Many see and fear, and trust in YHWH.
Atiaka nzembo ya sika kati na monoko na ngai, nzembo ya masanzoli mpo na Nzambe na biso. Bato ebele bakomona, bakobanga mpe bakotiela Yawe motema.
4 O the blessedness of the man Who has made YHWH his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to lies.
Esengo na moto oyo atiaka elikya kati na Yawe, kasi atalelaka te bato ya lolendo mpe bakosi.
5 You have done much, my God YHWH; Your wonders and Your thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange to You, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, bikamwa mpe mabongisi oyo osalaka mpo na biso ezali ebele penza. Moko te akokani na Yo; nalingi kotatola mpe kopanza sango na yango, kasi motango na yango eleki ebele.
6 Sacrifice and present You have not desired, But a body You have prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering You have not asked.
Osepelaki te na bambeka mpe na makabo, kasi ofungolaki matoyi na ngai; osengaki te makabo ya kotumba mpe bambeka mpo masumu.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come, In the roll of the scroll it is written of me,
Bongo nalobaki: « Ngai oyo, nayei epai na Yo kolanda ndenge ekomami na tina na ngai kati na buku.
8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, my God, And Your law [is] within my heart.”
Nzambe na ngai, nasepelaka kosala mokano na Yo, Mobeko na Yo ezali kati na motema na ngai. »
9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, Behold, I do not restrain my lips, O YHWH, You have known.
Nasakolaka bosembo na Yo kati na mayangani, nakokanga monoko na ngai te; Yawe, oyebi yango!
10 I have not concealed Your righteousness In the midst of my heart, I have told of Your faithfulness and Your salvation, I have not hidden Your kindness and Your truth, To the great assembly.
Nabombaka bosembo na Yo te kati na motema na ngai, natatolaka boyengebene mpe lobiko na Yo kati na mayangani, nakobomba yango ata moke te.
11 You, O YHWH, do not restrain Your mercies from me, Your kindness and Your truth continually keep me.
Yawe, kopimela ngai mawa na Yo te; kasi sala ete bolingo mpe bosolo na Yo ebatelaka ngai tango nyonso.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me, My iniquities have overtaken me, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart has forsaken me.
Pamba te makambo ebele ya pasi ezingeli ngai, mabunga na ngai ekomi konyokola ngai, mpe nazali kokoka lisusu te kotala yango; ezali ebele koleka suki ya moto na ngai, mpe motema na ngai elembi kati na ngai.
13 Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, make haste for my help.
Yawe, nabondeli Yo, kangola ngai; Yawe, yaka noki kosunga ngai.
14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.
Tika ete bato oyo balukaka kufa na ngai bakufa soni mpe basambwa! Tika ete bato oyo bazelaka libebi na ngai bazonga sima mpe babungisa lokumu na bango!
15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, “Aha, aha.”
Tika ete ba-oyo balobaka na ngai: « Ah! Ah! » bayoka somo mpe bakufa soni!
16 All seeking You rejoice and are glad in You, Those loving Your salvation continually say, “YHWH is magnified.”
Kasi tika ete bato nyonso oyo balukaka Yo batonda na esengo mpe basepela kati na Yo! Tika ete ba-oyo balingaka lobiko na Yo balobaka tango nyonso: « Yawe azali monene! »
17 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord devises for me. You [are] my help and my deliverer, O my God, do not linger.
Solo, nazali mobola mpe moto akelela, kasi tika ete Nkolo asunga mpe akangola ngai. Nzambe na ngai, kowumela te!
