Psalms 81
1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE GITTITH. BY ASAPH. Cry aloud to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Azafi. Ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya bato ya Gati. Boganga na esengo epai ya Nzambe, makasi na biso! Bobetela Nzambe ya Jakobi maboko!
2 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp with stringed instrument.
Boyemba banzembo, bobeta bambunda mike, lindanda oyo ebimisaka lokito kitoko mpe nzenze!
3 Blow a horn in the month, In the new moon, at the day of our festival,
Bobeta kelelo na ebandeli ya sanza, na tango oyo sanza mobimba engengaka, mpo na mokolo ya feti na biso!
4 For it [is] a statute to Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Pamba te ezali mobeko mpo na Isalaele, mpe mokano ya Nzambe ya Jakobi.
5 He has placed it—a testimony on Joseph, In his going forth over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known—I hear.
Atiaki yango lokola mobeko mpo na Jozefi tango abundisaki Ejipito. Nazali koyoka lokota oyo nayebi te:
6 I turned aside his shoulder from the burden, His hands pass over from the basket.
« Nalongolaki mokumba oyo ezalaki na mapeka na ye, mpe maboko na ye elongwaki na bowumbu ya kosimba bitunga. »
7 In distress you have called and I deliver you, I answer you in the secret place of thunder, I try you by the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Tango ozalaki koganga mpo na pasi, nakangolaki yo, nayanolaki yo kati na kake epai wapi nabombamaki, namekaki yo pembeni ya mayi ya Meriba.
8 Hear, O My people, and I testify to you, O Israel, if you listen to me:
Bato na ngai, boyoka ngai! Mpe nakokebisa bino. Ah Isalaele, soki kaka ozalaki koyokela ngai!
9 There is not in you a strange god, And you do not bow yourself to a strange god.
Okozala na nzambe ya mopaya te kati na yo, okogumbamela nzambe mosusu te, longola kaka ngai!
10 I [am] your God YHWH, Who brings you up out of the land of Egypt. Enlarge your mouth, and I fill it.
Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abimisaki yo na Ejipito; fungola malamu monoko na yo, mpe nakotondisa yango.
11 But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel has not consented to Me.
Kasi bato na ngai bayokaki mongongo na ngai te, Isalaele aboyaki kotosa ngai.
12 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They walk in their own counsels.
Mpo na yango, natikaki bango kotambola kolanda baposa ya mitema makasi na bango; mpe balandaki makanisi na bango.
13 O that My people were listening to Me, Israel would walk in My ways.
Soki bato na ngai bazalaki koyokela ngai, soki Isalaele azalaki kolanda banzela na ngai,
14 As a little thing I cause their enemies to bow, And I turn back My hand against their adversaries,
nalingaki mbala moko koyokisa banguna na bango soni mpe kobundisa bayini na bango.
15 Those hating YHWH should have feigned [obedience] to Him, And their time would last for all time.
Mpe bato oyo bayinaka Yawe balingaki komikitisa liboso na Ye, mpe etumbu na bango elingaki kowumela mpo na libela.
16 He causes him to eat of the fat of wheat, And I satisfy you [with] honey from a rock!
Yawe alingaki koleisa Isalaele bilei ya kitoko mpe kotondisa bango na mafuta ya nzoyi.
