Psalms 41
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. How happy is he that is attentive to the poor, In the day of calamity, will Yahweh deliver him:
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Esengo na moto oyo akanisaka mobola! Yawe akokangola ye na tango ya pasi.
2 Yahweh, will preserve him and keep him alive, And he shall be pronounced happy in the land, Do not then give him up at the desire of his enemies!
Yawe akokengela ye mpe akobatela bomoi na ye, akokomisa ye moto ya esengo kati na mokili mpe akokaba ye te na maboko ya banguna na ye.
3 Yahweh, will sustain him upon the bed of sickness, All his couch, hast thou transformed in his disease.
Yawe akosunga ye na mbeto na ye soki abeli mpe akobikisa ye na bokono na ye nyonso.
4 I, said—O Yahweh, show me favour, heal thou my soul, for I have sinned against thee:
Nalobaki: « Oh Yawe, yokela ngai mawa; bikisa ngai na bokono, pamba te nasalaki masumu epai na Yo. »
5 Mine enemies, speak ill of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
Banguna na ngai balobaka mabe na tina na ngai: « Akokufa mokolo nini mpo ete kombo na ye etangama lisusu te? »
6 And, if he have come to see me, Falsehood, doth he speak, His own heart, gathereth iniquity to itself, he goeth forth, abroad he telleth it.
Kati na bango, moto nyonso oyo ayaka kotala ngai alobaka kaka lokuta mpo na kobebisa lokumu na ngai, akangisaka kati na ye makambo ya lokuta mpe, soki kaka abimi libanda, apanzaka yango na matongi.
7 Together—against me, do all who hate me whisper among themselves, Against me, devise they hurt for me.
Banguna na ngai basanganaka kaka mpo na kotonga ngai mpe kokanisa mpo na libebi na ngai.
8 An infliction of the Abandoned One hath been fixed upon him, and, now that he hath lien down, he will not again rise.
Balobaka: « Pasi moko ya somo penza ekangi ye, ebwaki ye na mbeto mpe azali kokoka lisusu kotelema te. »
9 Even the man whom I used to salute, in whom I put confidence, who used to eat my bread, —hath magnified his heel against me!
Ezala molingami na ngai ya kimia, oyo nazalaki kotiela motema mpe azalaki kolia sani moko elongo na ngai, abalukeli ngai.
10 But, thou, O Yahweh, show me favour and raise me up, That I may repay them.
Kasi Yo, Yawe, yokela ngai mawa mpe telemisa ngai mpo ete nazongisela bango mabe na mabe.
11 Hereby, do I know that thou delightest in me, In that mine enemy shall not raise a shout over me.
Nakoyeba ete osepelaka na ngai soki kaka monguna na ngai agangi te na tina na ngai.
12 But, as for me, In my blamelessness, hast thou held me fast, And hast caused me to stand before thee unto times age-abiding.
Mpo ete nazangi pamela, okosunga ngai mpe okovandisa ngai na makolo na Yo mpo na libela.
13 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!
Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, akumisama libela na libela!
