Psalms 56
1 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David: Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long he fighting oppresseth 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 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long: for they be many that fight proudly against me.
Bayini na ngai batungisaka ngai mikolo nyonso; bato oyo babundisaka ngai na lolendo bazali ebele.
3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee.
Mokolo oyo nazalaka na bobangi, natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo.
4 In God I will praise his word: in God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; what can flesh do unto 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 long they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Babongolaka maloba na ngai mikolo nyonso; mabongisi na bango nyonso ezalaka mpo na kosala ngai mabe.
6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, even as they have waited for my soul.
Basalaka makita, babombamaka, balandaka ngai mpo na kosala ngai mabe.
7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in anger cast down the peoples, O God.
Mpo na makambo oyo ya mabe, boni, bazanga etumbu? Oh Nzambe, kweyisela bikolo kanda na Yo!
8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?
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 shall mine enemies turn back in the day that I call: this I know, 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 will I praise [his] word: in the LORD will I praise [his] word.
Pembeni ya Nzambe oyo nakumisaka Liloba na Ye, pembeni ya Yawe oyo nakumisaka Liloba na Ye,
11 In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; what can man do unto me?
pembeni ya Nzambe oyo natielaka motema mpe nazalaka na bobangi te, moto akoki kosala ngai nini?
12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thank offerings unto thee.
Epai na Yo Nzambe, nakokokisa bandayi na ngai mpe nakobonza bambeka ya matondi.
13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: [hast thou] not [delivered] my feet from falling? that I may 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.
