Esengo na bato oyo bazangi pamela mpe batambolaka kolanda mibeko ya Yawe!
2 How happy they who observe his testimonies, with a whole heart, they seek him.
Esengo na bato oyo babatelaka malako na Ye mpe balukaka Ye na mitema na bango mobimba!
3 Yea, they have not wrought perversity, In his ways, have they walked.
Basalaka mabe te, kasi balandaka banzela ya Nzambe.
4 Thou, hast commanded thy precepts, that they should be diligently kept.
Opesaki mibeko mpo ete etosama malamu.
5 Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.
Tika ete nabongisa etamboli na ngai mpo ete natosa mitindo na Yo!
6 Then, shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
Na bongo, nakoyoka soni te tango nakotosa mibeko na Yo nyonso.
7 I will thank thee with uprightness of heart, when I have learned thy righteous regulations.
Nakosanzola Yo na motema ya sembo wana nakoyekola mibeko ya bosembo na Yo.

Nalingi kotosa mitindo na Yo; kosundola ngai libela te!

Ndenge nini elenge akoki kowumela na nzela ya sembo? Ezali na kotambola kolanda liloba na Yo.
10 With all my heart, have I sought thee, Suffer me not to be led astray from thy commandments.
Nalukaka Yo na motema na ngai mobimba; batela ngai mpo ete napengwa te mosika ya mibeko na Yo!
11 In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.
Nabatelaka liloba na Yo kati na motema na ngai mpo ete nasala masumu te na miso na Yo.
12 Blessed art thou, O Yahweh—Teach me thy statutes.
Yawe, tika ete opambolama! Lakisa ngai mitindo na Yo!

Longola soni mpe kotiolama na bomoi na ngai, pamba te natosaka malako na Yo.
23 Even rulers have taken their seat, against me, have talked, Thy servant, will still meditate in thy statutes.
Ezala soki bakambi basali likita mpe bayokani kotelemela ngai, mosali na Yo, nakokanisa kaka mitindo na Yo.
24 Yea, thy testimonies, are my dear delight, My counsellors.
Malako na Yo esepelisaka ngai makasi, epesaka ngai toli.

Kanisa makambo oyo olobaki na mosali na Yo, pamba te opesaki ngai elikya.

Liboso ete obeta ngai, nazalaki mopengwi; kasi sik’oyo, nakomi kotosa liloba na Yo.
68 Good, thou art, and doing good, Teach me thy statutes.
Ozali malamu mpe osalaka makambo ya malamu; teya ngai mitindo na Yo!

Mitema na bango ezali mabanga; kasi ngai, nasepelaka na mibeko na Yo.
71 It is, well for me, that I was afflicted, That I might learn thy statutes.
Ezalaki penza malamu mpo na ngai ete obeta ngai, mpo ete nayekola mitindo na Yo.
72 Better to me, is the law of thy mouth, than thousands of gold and silver.
Mpo na ngai, mibeko oyo ozwaki mpe osakolaki na monoko na Yo ezali malamu koleka biloko nkoto moko ya wolo mpe ya palata.
73 [YODH.] Thine own hands, have made me, and formed me. Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

80 Let my heart be thorough in thy statutes, that I may not be ashamed.
Tika ete motema na ngai ezanga pamela mpo na kotosa mitindo na Yo, mpo ete nakufa soni te.
81 [KAPH.] My soul, hath languished for thy salvation, For thy word, have I hoped.
Natondi na posa ya lobiko na Yo, nazali na elikya kati na liloba na Yo.
82 Mine eyes have failed for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Miso na ngai elembi kozela kokokisama ya elaka na Yo; nakomi komituna: « Okobondisa ngai tango nini? »
83 Though I have been like a wine-skin in the smoke, thy statutes, have I not forgotten.
Nakomi lokola mbeki oyo ezali kokawuka na milinga, nzokande nabosanaka mitindo na Yo te.
84 How few are the days of thy servant! When wilt thou execute sentence on my persecutors?
Mikolo ya bomoi ya mosali na Yo ezali motango boni? Mokolo nini okopesa banyokoli na ngai etumbu?
85 Insolent men digged for me pits, men who are not according to thy law.
Bato ya lolendo batimoli mabulu mpo na kokanga ngai, baboyi kotosa mibeko na Yo.
86 All thy commandments, are faithful, With falsehood, have they persecuted me, O help me!
Mibeko na Yo nyonso ezali sembo; kasi bazali konyokola ngai kaka pamba; yaka kosunga ngai!
87 A little more, and they had consumed me in the earth, but, I, forsake not thy precepts.
Etikali moke mpo ete balongola ngai na mokili; kasi atako bongo, nasundoli mibeko na Yo te.
88 According to thy lovingkindness, give thou me life, so will I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
Kati na bolingo na Yo, batela bomoi na ngai mpo ete natosa malako na Yo.
89 [LAMED.] Age-abidingly, O Yahweh, hath thy word been set up in the heavens.
Yawe, liloba na Yo ezali mpo na seko, epikama kati na likolo;
90 To generation after generation, is thy faithfulness, Thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
boyengebene na Yo ekowumela seko na seko. Okela mabele, mpe ezali kaka kino na mokolo ya lelo;
91 By thy regulations, do they stand to-day, for, all, are thy servants.
opesa mibeko, mpe ezali kaka kino na mokolo ya lelo, pamba te nyonso kati na mokili mobimba epesaka Yo lokumu.
92 Had not thy law been my dear delight, then, had I perished in mine affliction.
Soki nasepelaki na mibeko na Yo te, mbele nakufa kala kati na pasi na ngai.
93 Unto times age-abiding, will I not forget thy precepts, For, by them, hast thou given me life.
Nakotikala kobosana ata moke te mitindo na Yo, pamba te obatelaka bomoi na ngai na nzela na yango.

Bikisa ngai, pamba te nazali moto na Yo mpe natosaka mitindo na Yo!
95 For me, have the lawless waited, to destroy me, Thy testimonies, will I diligently consider.
Bato mabe bazali koluka koboma ngai, kasi ngai nakangami kaka na malako na Yo.
96 To all perfection, have I seen an end, Broad is thy commandment, exceedingly.
Na nyonso oyo emonanaka lokola ya kokoka, namonaki mondelo; kasi mibeko na Yo ezalaka na mondelo te.
97 [MEM.] Oh how I love thy law! All the day, is it my (meditation)
Nalingaka mibeko na Yo mingi! Nakanisaka yango mikolo nyonso.
98 Beyond mine enemies, will thy commandment make me wise, for, age-abidingly, shall it be mine.
Mibeko na Yo ekomisaka ngai moto ya bwanya koleka banguna na ngai; ezalaka elongo na ngai tango nyonso.

102 From thy regulations, have I not turned aside, for, thou, hast directed me.
Nakangamaka na mibeko na Yo, pamba te Yo moko nde oteyaka ngai yango.

Tala ndenge mitindo na Yo ezali elengi na monoko na ngai! Ezali malamu koleka mafuta ya nzoyi.
104 Out of thy precepts, will I get understanding, For this cause, do I hate every false way.
Mitindo na Yo ekomisi ngai moto ya bososoli; yango wana nayinaka nzela nyonso ya mabe.
105 [NUN.] A lamp to my feet, is thy word, and a light to my path.
Liloba na Yo ezali mwinda mpo na makolo na ngai, mpe pole mpo na nzela na ngai.
106 I sware, and have fulfilled, To keep thy righteous regulations.
Nalapaki ndayi oyo mpe nakokokisa yango: « Nakotosaka mibeko ya bosembo na Yo. »
107 I have been afflicted exceedingly, —O Yahweh, give me life according to thy word.
Motema na ngai etutami makasi; Yawe, batela bomoi na ngai kolanda liloba na Yo.
108 The freewill offerings of my mouth, accept, I pray thee, O Yahweh, And, thy regulations, teach thou me.
Yawe, ndima likabo ya bibebu na ngai, mpe teya ngai mibeko na Yo.

Solo, nakutanaka tango nyonso na makama, kasi nabosanaka mibeko na Yo te.
110 The lawless have set a snare for me, Yet, from thy precepts, have I not strayed.
Bato mabe batiaka mitambo mpo ete nakweya, kasi nakangamaka kaka na mibeko na Yo.

112 I have inclined my heart to perform thy statutes, Age-abidingly, to the end.
Nazwa mokano ya kotambola kolanda mitindo na Yo, tango nyonso, kino na suka.

Nayinaka bato ya mitema mibale, kasi nalingaka nde mibeko na Yo.
