Psalms 56

1 TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “A SILENT DOVE FAR OFF.” A MIKTAM OF DAVID, IN THE PHILISTINES’ TAKING HOLD OF HIM IN GATH. Favor me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day fighting he oppresses me,

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na « Ebenga ya terebente ya mosika. » Nzembo ya Davidi, tango bato ya Filisitia bakangaki ye kati na mboka Gati. Nzambe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te bato bazali kotungisa ngai. Babundisaka mpe banyokolaka ngai mikolo nyonso.

2 My enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are] fighting against me, O Most High,

Bayini na ngai batungisaka ngai mikolo nyonso; bato oyo babundisaka ngai na lolendo bazali ebele.

3 [In] the day I am afraid I am confident toward You.

Mokolo oyo nazalaka na bobangi, natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo.

4 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I do not fear what flesh does to me.

Epai ya Nzambe, nakumisaka Liloba na Ye; Epai ya Nzambe, natiaka motema mpe nabangaka te. Moto oyo akokufa akoki kosala ngai nini?

5 All the day they wrest my words, All their thoughts [are] for evil concerning me,

Babongolaka maloba na ngai mikolo nyonso; mabongisi na bango nyonso ezalaka mpo na kosala ngai mabe.

6 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they have expected my soul.

Basalaka makita, babombamaka, balandaka ngai mpo na kosala ngai mabe.

7 They escape by iniquity, In anger put down the peoples, O God.

Mpo na makambo oyo ya mabe, boni, bazanga etumbu? Oh Nzambe, kweyisela bikolo kanda na Yo!

8 You have counted my wandering, You place my tear in Your bottle, Are they not in Your scroll?

Solo, oyebi motango ya matambe ya bomoi na ngai ya mitelengano. Sopa mpinzoli na ngai kati na mbeki na Yo, oyo ezali buku na Yo ya ekaniseli.

9 Then turn back my enemies in the day I call. This I have known, that God [is] for me.

Bongo, na mokolo oyo nakobelela mpo na kosenga lisungi, banguna na ngai bakozonga sima. Na nzela ya likambo yango, nakoyeba ete Nzambe azali mpo na ngai.

10 In God I praise the word, In YHWH I praise the word.

Pembeni ya Nzambe oyo nakumisaka Liloba na Ye, pembeni ya Yawe oyo nakumisaka Liloba na Ye,

11 In God I trusted, I do not fear what man does to me,

pembeni ya Nzambe oyo natielaka motema mpe nazalaka na bobangi te, moto akoki kosala ngai nini?

12 On me, O God, [are] Your vows, I repay thank-offerings to You.

Epai na Yo Nzambe, nakokokisa bandayi na ngai mpe nakobonza bambeka ya matondi.

13 For You have delivered my soul from death, Do You not [keep] my feet from falling? To habitually walk before God in the light of the living!

Pamba te okangoli ngai na kufa mpe obateli makolo na ngai ete ebeta mabaku te, mpo ete natambola liboso na Yo Nzambe kati na pole ya bomoi.
