< Psalms 52 >

1 TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF DOEG THE EDOMITE, AND HE DECLARES TO SAUL AND SAYS TO HIM, “DAVID CAME TO THE HOUSE OF AHIMELECH.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki tango Doegi, moto ya Edomi, akendeki koyebisa Saulo ete Davidi akoti na ndako ya Ayimeleki. Yo elombe, mpo na nini ozali komikumisa na tina na mabe? Bolingo ya Nzambe emonanaka mikolo nyonso.
2 Your tongue devises mischiefs, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
Yo oyo otambolaka na lokuta, lolemo na yo esalaka mabongisi ya libebi, ekosaka lokola mbeli bapelisa malamu.
3 You have loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Olingaka mabe koleka bolamu, lokuta koleka koloba bosolo.
4 You have loved all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.
Oh lolemo ya lokuta, olingaka maloba nyonso oyo epanzaka.
5 Also—God breaks you down forever, Takes you, and pulls you out of the tent, And He has uprooted you Out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Solo, Ye moko Nzambe akobebisa yo mpo na libela, akokanga yo kati na ndako na yo, akobwaka yo libanda mpe akopikola yo na mokili ya bato ya bomoi.
6 And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
Bato ya sembo bakomona mpe bakokoma na somo, bakotiola ye na maloba oyo:
7 “Behold, the man who does not make God his strong place, And trusts in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.”
« Tala moto oyo azalaki te kozwa Nzambe lokola ebombamelo na ye, azalaki kotiela bozwi na ye motema, mpe kobakisa makasi na ye na nzela ya kobebisa bato mosusu. »
8 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, For all time and forever,
Kasi ngai, kati na Ndako na Yo, nazali lokola nzete ya olive oyo etondi na makasa ya mobesu; natiaka tango nyonso elikya na ngai kati na bolingo monene ya Nzambe, mpo na libela.
9 I thank You for all time, because You have done [it], And I wait [on] Your Name for [it is] good before Your saints!
Nakosanzola Yo mikolo nyonso, mpo na oyo osali; mpe nazalaka na elikya kati na Kombo na Yo, pamba te ozali malamu mpo na bayengebene na Yo.
