< Psalms 26 >
1 David’s. Do me justice, O Yahweh, For, I, in my blamelessness, have walked, and, in Yahweh, have I trusted, I will not waver.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, longisa ngai na miso ya basambisi, pamba te natambolaka na bosembo; natielaka Yawe motema, nakozonga sima te.
2 Try me, O Yahweh, and prove me, Test my reins and my heart: —
Yawe, tala ngai malamu mpe meka ngai, sosola motema mpe makanisi na ngai,
3 For, thy lovingkindness, hath been before mine eyes, and I have walked to and fro in thy faithfulness;
pamba te napengwaka te liboso ya bolingo na Yo mpe nabikaka bomoi na ngai kolanda bosembo na Yo.
4 I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter;
Navandaka esika moko te na bakosi, natambolaka nzela moko te na bato ya mitema mibale.
5 I have hated the convocation of evil-doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;
Nayinaka kosangana elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe navandaka te esika moko na bato mabe.
6 I will bathe, in pureness, my hands, —so will I go in procession around thine altar, O Yahweh;
Yawe, nasukoli maboko na ngai mpo na kolakisa ete nasali mabe te, mpe nabandi na etumbelo na Yo,
7 To sound aloud a song, and to recount all thy wonderful doings.
mpo na kozongisela Yo matondi mpe kotatola misala minene na Yo.
8 O Yahweh, I have loved the asylum of thy house, even the place of the habitation of thy glory!
Yawe, nasepelaka na Tempelo epai wapi ovandaka elongo na nkembo na Yo.
9 Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;
Kolongola te molimo na ngai nzela moko na bato ya masumu, bomoi na ngai elongo na basopi makila,
10 In whose hands is a plot, and, their right hand, is filled with a bribe.
oyo maboko na bango etondi na makila, mpe maboko na bango ya mibali etondi na kanyaka.
11 But, I, in my blamelessness, will walk, Redeem me and show me favour.
Natambolaka na bomoi ya bosembo; kangola ngai mpe salela ngai ngolu.
12 My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.
Makolo na ngai etambolaka na nzela ya alima; nakopambola Yawe kati na mayangani ya monene.
