< Psalms 107 >

1 Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Bosanzola Yawe, pamba te azali malamu, mpe bolingo na Ye ewumelaka seko na seko!
2 Let the redeemed by YHWH say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
Tika ete bato oyo Yawe asikolaki baloba bongo, ba-oyo akangolaki wuta na maboko ya monguna,
3 And gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
ba-oyo asangisaki wuta na bikolo nyonso, wuta na este, na weste, na nor mpe na sude.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.
Ndambo bazalaki koyengayenga na esobe, na esika oyo ezanga bato, bamonaki te nzela ya engumba epai wapi bakoki kovanda.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Likolo ya nzala mpe ya posa ya mayi, bakomaki pene ya kokufa.
6 Then they cried to YHWH in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses,
Bongo kati na pasi na bango, babelelaki Yawe, mpe akangolaki bango na mitungisi na bango.
7 he led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.
Atambolisaki bango na nzela ya alima mpo ete bakende kovanda kati na engumba.
8 Let them praise YHWH for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the descendants of Adam.
Tika ete basanzola Yawe mpo na bolingo mpe bikamwa na Ye mpo na bato!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
Apesaki mayi epai ya bato oyo bazalaki na posa ya mayi mpe bilei epai ya bato oyo bazalaki na nzala.
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,
Bato oyo bazalaki kovanda na bisika ya molili makasi mpe ya molili ya kufa bazalaki ya kokangama na minyoko mpe na minyololo ya bibende,
11 because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
pamba te batombokelaki maloba na Nzambe mpe batiolaki mabongisi ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo.
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was none to help.
Abukaki lolendo ya mitema na bango na nzela ya misala makasi; bakweyaki, mpe moko te asungaki bango.
13 Then they cried to YHWH in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
Kati na pasi na bango, babelelaki Yawe, mpe abikisaki bango na mitungisi na bango.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds in sunder.
Abimisaki bango wuta na molili makasi mpe na molili ya kufa, mpe abukaki minyololo na bango.
15 Let them praise YHWH for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the descendants of Adam.
Tika ete basanzola Yawe mpo na bolingo mpe bikamwa na Ye mpo na bato!
16 For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.
Pamba te abukaki bikuke ya bronze mpe akataki bikangelo ya mabende.
17 Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.
Bamosusu bakomaki bazoba mpo na etamboli mabe na bango, mpe bato na pasi, mpo na masumu na bango.
18 Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
Minoko na bango eyinaki bilei nyonso, mpe bakomaki pene ya bikuke ya kufa.
19 Then they cried to YHWH in their trouble; he saved them out of their distresses.
Kati na pasi na bango, babelelaki Yawe, mpe abikisaki bango na mitungisi na bango.
20 He sent his word and healed them; he delivered them from their traps.
Atindaki Liloba na Ye mpe abikisaki bango, akangolaki bango wuta na kunda.
21 Let them praise YHWH for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the descendants of Adam.
Tika ete basanzola Yawe mpo na bolingo mpe bikamwa na Ye mpo na bato!
22 Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with singing.
Tika ete babonza bambeka ya kozongisa matondi mpe bapanza sango ya misala na Ye na koganga na esengo!
23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters;
Bato oyo bakendaka mobembo na ebale monene kati na masuwa mpe basalaka mombongo na mayi minene
24 These see YHWH's works, and his wonders in the deep.
bamonaki misala ya Yawe, mpe bikamwa kati na ebale monene.
25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
Alobaki, mpe mopepe makasi eyaki, etombolaki bambonge.
26 They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.
Bazalaki komata kino na likolo mpe kokita kino na se, bazalaki kolemba nzoto kati na pasi.
27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
Bazwaki kizunguzungu mpe bakomaki kotenga-tenga lokola bato balangwe masanga, bwanya na bango nyonso elimwaki.
28 Then they cry to YHWH in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.
Kati na pasi na bango, babelelaki Yawe mpe abimisaki bango na mitungisi na bango.
29 He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
Akitisaki mopepe makasi, bambonge ya ebale monene evandaki kimia.
30 Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.
Basepelaki na kimia oyo ezongaki, mpe Nzambe amemaki bango kino na libongo oyo balingaki.
31 Let them praise YHWH for his loving kindness, for his wonderful works for the descendants of Adam.
Tika ete basanzola Yawe mpo na bolingo mpe bikamwa na Ye mpo na bato!
32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.
Tika ete banetola Ye kati na lisanga ya bato mpe bakumisa Ye kati na mayangani ya bakambi.
33 He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,
Akoki kobongola bibale esobe; kobongola bitima mabele ya kokawuka;
34 and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
kobongola mabele oyo ebotaka bambuma mabele ya mungwa likolo ya mabe ya bavandi na yango.
35 He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.
Akoki kobongola esobe liziba; kobongola mabele ya kokawuka bitima.
36 There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,
Akoki kosala ete bato na nzala bakoma kovanda kuna, batonga engumba oyo bato bakoki kovanda,
37 sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.
babwaka bambuma na bilanga mpe balona banzete ya vino oyo ekobota bambuma ebele.
38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease.
Apamboli bango, mpe bakomi ebele; mpe akitisi te motango ya bibwele na bango.
39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
Motango ya bato mosusu ekiti mpe balembi nzoto mpo na minyoko mpe pasi.
40 He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
Nzambe asambwisaka bato minene, akotisaka bango na mobulu makasi kino bazanga nzela ya kobimela na pasi.
41 Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.
Kasi akangolaka babola wuta na pasi na bango, mpe asalaka ete babotana ebele kati na bituka na bango lokola etonga ya bameme.
42 The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
Tango bato ya sembo bamonaka bongo, basepelaka, kasi bato nyonso ya mabe bakangaka minoko na bango.
43 Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of YHWH.
Tika ete moto ya bwanya asala keba na makambo wana nyonso mpe akanisa na tina na bolingo ya Yawe!
