Psalms 36
1 To the Chief Musician. Of the Servant of Yahweh—of David. Declareth the transgression of the lawless one, within my heart, There is, no dread of God, before his eyes;
Nzembo ya Davidi, mowumbu ya Yawe. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Kati na motema na ngai, nazali na sango kowuta na Nzambe na tina na bato mabe oyo batondi na masumu: Kotosa Nzambe ezali na tina ata moke te na miso na bango.
2 For he flattereth himself [too much] in his own eyes, to find his iniquity—to hate [it].
Bamipesaka lokumu makasi, bandimaka te mpe bayinaka masumu na bango te.
3 The words of his mouth, are iniquity and deceit, he hath left off to show discretion by doing well:
Minoko na bango ebimisaka maloba mabe mpe lokuta, baboyaka kosala na bokebi mpe kosala bolamu.
4 Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed, —he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!
Ezala na bambeto na bango, basalaka kaka mabongisi ya kosala mabe, batambolaka te mpo na kosala bolamu mpe baboyaka mabe te.
5 O Yahweh! in the heavens, is thy lovingkindness, Thy faithfulness, as far as the fleecy clouds:
Yawe, bolingo na Yo ekenda kino na likolo, boyengebene na Yo kino na mapata.
6 Thy righteousness, is like mighty mountains, and, thy just decrees, are a great resounding deep, —Man and beast, thou savest, O Yahweh!
Bosembo na Yo ezali lokola bangomba ya Nzambe, mikano na Yo ezali mozindo lokola lubwaku ya molayi. Yawe, obikisaka bato mpe banyama.
7 How precious thy lovingkindness, O God, —Therefore, the sons of men, under the shadow of thy wings, seek refuge:
Oh Nzambe, tala ndenge nini bolingo na Yo ezali motuya! Bato bazwaka ebombamelo na elili ya mapapu na Yo.
8 They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house, —And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink.
Baliaka mpe batondaka bilei ya Ndako na Yo, mpe omelisaka bango mayi kowuta na bolingo monene na Yo.
9 For, with thee, is the fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.
Pamba te etima ya bomoi ezali elongo na Yo; kati na pole na Yo nde tomonaka pole.
10 Prolong thy lovingkindness unto them who know thee, —and thy righteousness, to the upright in heart.
Koba kotalisa bolingo na Yo epai ya bato oyo bayebi Yo, mpe bosembo na Yo epai ya bato ya mitema alima.
11 Let not the foot of pride reach me, nor, the hand of the lawless, scare me away.
Tika ete bato ya lolendo bakoma te kino epai na ngai, mpe tika ete bato mabe babengana ngai te.
12 There did the workers of iniquity fall, —thrust down and not able to rise!
Tala ndenge nini bato ya misala mabe bakweyi, balali na mabele, bazangi makoki ya kotelema.
