Psalms 27
1 David’s. Yahweh, is my light and my salvation, Of whom shall I be afraid? Yahweh, is the refuge of my life, Of whom shall I be in dread?
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe azali pole mpe lobiko na ngai; nakobanga nani? Yawe azali ndako batonga makasi ya bomoi na ngai; nakolenga liboso ya nani?
2 When there drew near against me evil-doers to devour my flesh, mine adversaries, and mine enemies—mine!—they, stumbled and fell!
Tango bato mabe babundisaka ngai mpo na koluka kosala ngai mabe, ezali bayini mpe banguna na ngai nde baninganaka mpe bakweyaka.
3 Though there pitch against me—a camp, my heart shall not fear, —Though there come up against me—a battle, still, am I confident.
Ata limpinga ezingeli ngai, motema na ngai ekobanga soki moke te; ata etumba etelemi mpo na koboma ngai, atako bongo, nakozala kaka na elikya makasi.
4 One thing, have I asked of Yahweh, That, will I seek to secure, —That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh, all the days of my life, To view the delightfulness of Yahweh, And to contemplate in his temple.
Nalukaka eloko moko kowuta na Yawe, eloko moko kaka oyo nasengaka makasi: nalingi kovanda na Tempelo ya Yawe, mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na ngai, mpo na kosepelaka na kitoko ya Yawe mpe kosengaka toli na Ye kati na Tempelo na Ye.
5 For he will hide me in his pavilion, in the day of calamity, —He will conceal me, in the secrecy of his tent, Within a rock, will he set me on high.
Pamba te, na tango ya pasi, akobatela ngai kati na evandelo na Ye, akobomba ngai kati ya Ndako na Ye ya bule mpe akotelemisa ngai na likolo ya libanga.
6 Now, therefore, shall my head be raised high above my foes round about me, and I will sacrifice in his tent the sacrifices of triumphant joy, I will sing and touch the strings, to Yahweh.
Bongo, nakotombola moto na ngai na likolo ya banguna oyo bazingeli ngai; nakobanda kobonza, na se ya lokito ya esengo, bambeka kati Ndako na Ye ya bule; nakobanda koyembela Yawe mpe kobetela Ye mindule.
7 Hear, O Yahweh, With my voice, do I cry, Oh then show me favour and answer me.
Yawe, yoka mongongo na ngai, soki nabeleli Yo; salela ngai ngolu mpe yanola ngai.
8 To thee, said my heart—[When thou saidst] Seek ye my face—Thy face, O Yahweh, will I seek!
Motema na ngai elobi na tina na Yo: « Tala elongi na Ye! » Yawe, nakotala elongi na Yo.
9 Do not hide thy face from me, Do not repulse, in thine anger, thine own servant, —My help, thou hast been, Do not send me away nor forsake me, O my saving God!
Kopesa ngai mokongo te, kobengana mosali na Yo te na kanda; osungaki ngai. Kotika ngai te, kosundola ngai te, Nzambe, Mobikisi na ngai.
10 When, my own father and mother, had forsaken me, Then, Yahweh, took me up!
Ata tata mpe mama na ngai basundoli ngai, Yawe akolokota ngai.
11 Point out to me, O Yahweh, thy way, —And guide me in a level path, because of mine adversaries.
Yawe, lakisa ngai nzela na Yo, tambolisa ngai na nzela ya alima, pamba te banguna na ngai bazali koluka ngai.
12 Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.
Kotika te ete nakangama na motambo ya bayini na ngai, pamba te batatoli ya lokuta batelemi mpo na kokosela ngai makambo, bazali kobimisa maloba mabe.
13 I believe that I shall see—The goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living,
Nakozalaka na elikya na likambo oyo: nakobika bolamu ya Yawe kati na mokili ya bato ya bomoi.
14 Wait thou for Yahweh, —Be strong, and let thy heart be bold, Wait, then, for Yahweh!
Talela Yawe! Zala makasi mpe yika mpiko! Talela Yawe!
