Psalms 143
1 A Melody of David. O Yahweh, hear my prayer, Give ear to my supplications, In thy faithfulness, answer me, in thy righteousness.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, yoka losambo na ngai, landa mabondeli na ngai! Yanola ngai na boyengebene mpe na bosembo na Yo.
2 Do not then enter into judgment with thy servant, for no one living, can appear just before thee.
Kosambisa mosali na Yo te, pamba te moto moko te ya bomoi azali sembo liboso na Yo.
3 For an enemy hath pursued my soul, hath crushed, to the earth, my life, hath made me dwell in dark places, like the ancient dead.
Monguna azali konyokola ngai, azali kosakana na bomoi, azali kosala ete navanda kati na molili lokola bato oyo bakufa na tango ya kala.
4 Therefore hath my spirit, fainted concerning myself, Within me, hath, my heart, been confounded.
Molimo na ngai elembi kati na ngai, motema na ngai emitungisi kati na ngai.
5 I have remembered the days of aforetime, I have talked with myself of every deed of thine, Of the work of thy hands, I would speak:
Nakanisi mikolo ya kala, namilobeli nyonso oyo osala, nakanisi malamu mosala ya maboko na Yo.
6 I have spread out my hands unto thee, My soul, is as a thirsty land, for thee. (Selah)
Nasemboli maboko na ngai epai na Yo; nakomi komimona lokola mabele ya kokawuka.
7 Speedily answer me, O Yahweh, My spirit faileth, —Do not hide thy face from me, or I shall be made like unto them who go down into the pit.
Yawe, zongisela ngai eyano noki! Molimo na ngai ezali kolemba. Kopesa ngai mokongo te, noki te nakozala lokola bato oyo bazali kokita na libulu.
8 Let me hear, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, for, in thee, have, I trusted, —Let me know the way in which I should walk, for, unto thee, have I uplifted my soul.
Na tongo makasi, sala ete nayoka boboto na Yo, pamba te natia elikya na ngai kati na Yo. Lakisa ngai nzela ya kolanda, pamba te napesi bomoi na ngai epai na Yo.
9 Rescue me from my foes, O Yahweh, Unto thee, have I come seeking refuge.
Yawe, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai! Nazali koluka ebombamelo epai na Yo.
10 Teach me to do thy good pleasure, for, thou, art my God, —Thy spirit, is good, thou wilt set me down to rest in a level land.
Lakisa ngai kosala mokano na Yo, pamba te ozali Nzambe na ngai. Tika ete Molimo malamu na Yo atambolisa ngai na mabele oyo ezanga mabaku!
11 For the sake of thy Name, O Yahweh, wilt thou give unto me life, In thy righteousness, wilt thou bring forth, out of distress, my soul;
Yawe, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo, bikisa bomoi na ngai! Na bosembo na Yo, longola bomoi na ngai kati na pasi.
12 And, in thy lovingkindness, wilt thou exterminate my foes, —and destroy all the adversaries of my soul, because, I, am thy servant.
Na bolingo na Yo, kanga minoko ya banguna na ngai mpe limwisa bayini na ngai nyonso, pamba te nazali mosali na Yo.
