< Psalms 19 >
1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Likolo etatolaka nkembo ya Nzambe, mapata elobaka misala na Ye.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
Mokolo moko na moko eyebisaka yango epai ya mokolo oyo elandaka, mpe butu moko na moko eyebisaka yango epai ya butu oyo elandaka.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Ezali na nzela ya lisolo te, na nzela mpe ya maloba te oyo mingongo na yango eyokanaka te.
4 Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest part of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
Nzokande, sango na yango eyokanaka na mokili mobimba, maloba na yango ekomaka kino na suka ya mokili. Na likolo, Nzambe atie ndako ya kapo mpo na moyi.
5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
Moyi yango ebimaka na tongo ndenge elenge mobali oyo abali sika abimaka na shambre na ye, mpe ndenge elombe atambolaka na elikya ya kolonga na momekano.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
Moyi ebimaka wuta na songe moko ya likolo, mpe esukisaka mobembo na yango na songe mosusu; eloko moko te ezangaka kozwa molunge na yango.
7 Jehovah's Law is perfect, restoring the soul. Jehovah's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
Mibeko ya Yawe ezali ya kokoka, epesaka biso lisusu nguya ya kozala na bomoi. Maloba na Ye nyonso ezali ya solo, ebongi na kotiela yango elikya, mpe epesaka bwanya epai ya zoba.
8 Jehovah's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Jehovah's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Mitindo ya Yawe ezali alima, esepelisaka motema; malako na Ye ezali peto, epesaka bososoli.
9 The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring forever. Jehovah's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
Kotosa Yawe ezali peto, ewumelaka libela na libela. Mitindo ya Yawe ezali ya solo, nyonso ezali penza sembo.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
Ezali na motuya koleka wolo, koleka wolo ebele ya peto, wolo oyo basangisa na eloko mosusu te; eleki mafuta ya nzoyi na elengi, mafuta ya nzoyi oyo ezali kobima sika.
11 Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
Epesaka mosali na Yo mayele; moto nyonso oyo atosaka yango azwaka litomba mingi.
12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
Nani akoki kososola mabunga na ye oyo asali na nko te? Limbisa masumu na ngai, oyo nayebi te!
13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
Batela lisusu mosali na Yo mpo ete nasala mabe na nko te. Na bongo, nakozala moto ya kokoka mpe nakosala bambeba minene te.
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight always, Jehovah, my rock and my redeemer.
Yawe, Libanga na ngai mpe Mosikoli na ngai, tika ete maloba mpe makanisi ya motema na ngai esepelisa Yo!
