Psalms 37
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Kosilikela bato ya mabe te, kosalela bato oyo basalaka mabe zuwa te;
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
pamba te bakokawuka noki lokola makasa, mpe bakolemba noki lokola matiti.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and follow after faithfulness.
Tia elikya na yo kati na Yawe mpe sala bolamu, vanda kati na mokili mpe lia na kimia.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Komisa Yawe bilengi na yo ya makasi, mpe akokokisela yo posa ya motema na yo.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.
Kaba bomoi na yo epai na Yawe, tia elikya kati na Ye, mpe akosala:
6 Add he shall make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
akongengisa bosembo na yo lokola pole, makoki na yo lokola moyi ya midi.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Batela kimia liboso ya Yawe mpe talela Ye; kosilikela te moto oyo alongaka na misala na ye, mpe oyo asalaka mabongisi ya mabe.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself, [it tendeth] only to evil-doing.
Boya kanda mpe kosilika te; kotomboka te, noki te okosala mabe.
9 For evil-doers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
Pamba te bato oyo basalaka mabe bakolimwa, kasi bato oyo batielaka Yawe motema bakozwa mokili lokola libula na bango.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be.
Etikali tango moke kaka, moto mabe akozala lisusu te; ata oluki ye, okomona ye te.
11 But the meek shall inherit the land; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Kasi bato oyo bamikitisa bakozwa mokili lokola libula na bango mpe bakozala na kimia makasi.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
Bato mabe basalelaka bato ya sembo makita mpe baliaka minu mpo na kotelemela bango.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
Kasi Yawe asekaka bato mabe, pamba te ayebi ete mokolo na bango ezali kobelema.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as be upright in the way:
Bato mabe babimisi mipanga mpe babongisi batolotolo mpo na kokweyisa mobola mpe moto oyo akelela, mpo na koboma bato oyo batambolaka alima.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Kasi mipanga na bango ekotobola mitema na bango moko, mpe batolotolo na bango ekobukana.
16 Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
Mwa biloko ya moto ya sembo eleki bozwi ya bato ebele ya mabe,
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
pamba te nguya ya bato mabe ekosila, kasi Yawe alendisaka bato ya sembo.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the perfect: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Yawe ayebi mikolo ya bato bazangi pamela, mpe libula na bango ekowumela mpo na seko.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Na tango ya pasi, bakokawuka te; na mikolo ya nzala, bakozala na bilei ebele.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the excellency of the pastures: they shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away.
Kasi bato mabe bakokufa, banguna ya Yawe bazali lokola fololo ya elanga, bakolimwa lokola molinga.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
Moto mabe adefaka mpe azongisaka te, kasi moto ya sembo ayokaka mawa mpe akabaka.
22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the land; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.
Bato oyo Yawe apambolaka bakozwa mokili lokola libula na bango, kasi ba-oyo alakelaka mabe bakolimwa.
23 A man’s goings are established of the LORD; and he delighteth in his way.
Soki Yawe asepeli na etamboli ya moto, alendisaka bomoi na ye;
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
ezala akweyi, akotikala kaka ya kokweya te; pamba te Yawe asimbaka ye na loboko.
25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging [their] bread.
Nazalaki elenge, mpe sik’oyo nakomi mobange, namoni nanu te moto ya sembo kosundolama to bana na ye kokoma kosenga-senga bilei.
26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
Akabaka tango nyonso mpe adefisaka, bana na ye bakozalaka kati na mapamboli.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; dwell for evermore.
Zala mosika na mabe mpe sala bolamu, okovanda na mokili mpo na libela;
28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
pamba te Yawe alingaka bosembo, mpe asundolaka te bayengebene na Ye. Babatelamaka mpo na seko, kasi bana ya bato mabe bakolimwa.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Bato ya sembo bakozwa mokili lokola libula na bango mpe bakovanda kuna seko na seko.
30 The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment.
Monoko ya moto ya sembo ebimisaka bwanya, mpe lolemo na ye elobaka kolanda bosembo.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Mobeko ya Nzambe na ye ezali kati na motema na ye, makolo na ye ebetaka libaku te.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
Moto mabe atalaka moto ya sembo na miso mabe mpe alukaka nzela ya koboma ye,
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
kasi Yawe akosundola moto ya sembo te kati na maboko ya moto mabe, mpe akokweyisa ye te na kosambisama.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
Zala na elikya kati na Yawe mpe batela nzela na Ye; akonetola Yo mpo ete ozwa mboka lokola libula na yo, mpe okomona tango bato mabe bakolimwa.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
Namonaki moto mabe mpe na kanza kokoma na nguya mpe kofuluka lokola nzete oyo ezali kokola na mabele na yango,
36 But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
kasi alekaki noki mpe azalaki lisusu te; nalukaki ye, kasi namonaki ye lisusu te.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the latter end of [that] man is peace.
Tala malamu moto oyo azangi pamela, landela bomoi ya moto ya sembo; tango oyo ezali koya ezali kozela moto ya kimia.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together: the latter end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Kasi batomboki bakobebisama, tango oyo ezali koya ezali te mpo na bato mabe.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strong hold in the time of trouble.
Lobiko ya bato ya sembo ewutaka epai ya Yawe oyo, na tango ya pasi, azali ndako na bango, oyo batonga makasi.
40 And the LORD helpeth them, and rescueth them: he rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in him.
Yawe asungaka mpe akangolaka bango, akangolaka bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe mpe abikisaka bango, pamba te babombamaka kati na Ye.
