Psalms 41
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him Who is acting wisely to the poor, In a day of evil YHWH delivers him.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Esengo na moto oyo akanisaka mobola! Yawe akokangola ye na tango ya pasi.
2 YHWH preserves him and revives him, He is blessed in the land, And You do not give him into the will of his enemies.
Yawe akokengela ye mpe akobatela bomoi na ye, akokomisa ye moto ya esengo kati na mokili mpe akokaba ye te na maboko ya banguna na ye.
3 YHWH supports [him] on a bed of sickness, You have turned his bed in his weakness.
Yawe akosunga ye na mbeto na ye soki abeli mpe akobikisa ye na bokono na ye nyonso.
4 I said, “O YHWH, favor me, Heal my soul, for I sinned against You,”
Nalobaki: « Oh Yawe, yokela ngai mawa; bikisa ngai na bokono, pamba te nasalaki masumu epai na Yo. »
5 My enemies say evil of me: When he dies—his name has perished!
Banguna na ngai balobaka mabe na tina na ngai: « Akokufa mokolo nini mpo ete kombo na ye etangama lisusu te? »
6 And if he came to see—he speaks vanity, His heart gathers iniquity to itself, He goes out—at the street he speaks.
Kati na bango, moto nyonso oyo ayaka kotala ngai alobaka kaka lokuta mpo na kobebisa lokumu na ngai, akangisaka kati na ye makambo ya lokuta mpe, soki kaka abimi libanda, apanzaka yango na matongi.
7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
Banguna na ngai basanganaka kaka mpo na kotonga ngai mpe kokanisa mpo na libebi na ngai.
8 A worthless thing is poured out on him, And because he lay down he does not rise again.
Balobaka: « Pasi moko ya somo penza ekangi ye, ebwaki ye na mbeto mpe azali kokoka lisusu kotelema te. »
9 Even my ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, Made the heel great against me,
Ezala molingami na ngai ya kimia, oyo nazalaki kotiela motema mpe azalaki kolia sani moko elongo na ngai, abalukeli ngai.
10 And You, YHWH, favor me, And cause me to rise, And I give repayment to them.
Kasi Yo, Yawe, yokela ngai mawa mpe telemisa ngai mpo ete nazongisela bango mabe na mabe.
11 By this I have known, That You have delighted in me, Because my enemy does not shout over me.
Nakoyeba ete osepelaka na ngai soki kaka monguna na ngai agangi te na tina na ngai.
12 As for me, in my integrity, You have taken hold on me, And cause me to stand before You for all time.
Mpo ete nazangi pamela, okosunga ngai mpe okovandisa ngai na makolo na Yo mpo na libela.
13 Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age to age. Amen and Amen.
Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, akumisama libela na libela!
