Psalms 69
1 To the Chief Musician. On "The Lilies." David’s. Save me, O God, For waters have entered as far as the life;
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi: ezali ya koyemba lokola « lisi. » Nzambe, bikisa ngai, pamba te mayi ekomi na kingo na ngai.
2 I have sunk in deep swamp, Where there is no place to stand, I have come into abysses of waters, Where a flood hath overflowed me;
Nazali kozinda na potopoto, na mozindo makasi epai wapi eloko ya kosimba ezali te; nakiti na mozindo ya mayi, mbonge ememi ngai.
3 I am weary with mine outcry, Parched is my throat, —Mine eyes have become dim, through waiting for my God.
Nalembi nzoto likolo ya kobelela lisungi; mongongo na ngai ekawuki, miso na ngai elembi mpo na kotalela Nzambe na ngai.
4 More than the hairs of my head, Are they who hate me without cause, —Firmer than my bones, Are they who are my foes for false cause, —What I had not plundered, then, had I to restore.
Bato oyo bayinaka ngai na kozanga tina bazali ebele koleka motango ya suki ya moto na ngai; ba-oyo balukaka kobebisa bomoi na ngai, oyo bazali banguna na ngai kaka pamba, bazali bato na nguya; bazali kosenga ngai na makasi ete nazongisa eloko oyo nayibaki te.
5 O God, thou, hast known my folly, And, my wrong-doings, from thee, have not been hid.
Nzambe, oyebi bozoba na ngai, mpe mabe na ngai ezali ya kobombama te na miso na Yo.
6 Let them not be ashamed, through me, Who have waited for thee, O My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, —Let them not be confounded, through me, Who are seeking thee, O God of Israel!
Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, tika ete ba-oyo batiaka elikya kati na Yo basila lokumu te likolo na ngai! Nzambe ya Isalaele, tika ete bato oyo balukaka Yo bayokisama soni te likolo na ngai!
7 Because, for thy sake, have I borne reproach, Confusion hath covered my face;
Pamba te nandimi kofingama mpo na Yo, mpe soni ezipi ngai elongi.
8 One estranged, have I become, to my own brethren, Yea, an alien, to the sons of my own mother;
Bandeko na ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola moto oyo bayebi te, nakomi lokola mopaya na miso ya bana ya mama na ngai.
9 Because, zeal for thy house, hath eaten me up, And, the reproaches of them who have reproached thee, have fallen upon me.
Pamba te bolingo oyo nazali na yango mpo na ndako na Yo ezali kozikisa ngai, mpe mafinga ya bato oyo bafingaka Yo ezali kokweya na moto na ngai.
10 When I have humbled my soul with fasting, Then hath it turned to my reproach;
Soki naleli mpe nakili bilei, nasengeli kaka kofingama;
11 When I have made my clothing of sackcloth, Then have I served them for a by-word;
soki nalati saki, bato basalaka masapo mpo na kotiola ngai.
12 They who sit in the gate talk against me, —And [against me are] the songs of them who imbibe strong drink.
Bato oyo bavandi na ekuke batiolaka ngai, balangwi masanga bayembaka kombo na ngai kati na banzembo na bango.
13 But, as for me, my prayer shall be unto thee, O Yahweh, in a time of acceptance, O God, in the abounding of thy lovingkindness, answer me with thy saving faithfulness.
Yawe, nabondeli Yo! Nzambe, tango ekoki, tango ya kotalisa ngai bolingo monene na Yo! Yanola ngai na nzela ya boyengebene mpe lobiko na Yo!
14 Rescue me out of the mire, lest I sink, Let me be rescued, From my haters, and, From abysses of waters:
Bimisa ngai na potopoto, sala ete nazinda lisusu te, nakangolama wuta na maboko ya bayini na ngai mpe nabima na mayi ya mozindo!
15 Let not a flood of waters overflow me, And let not the depth swallow me up, Neither let the well close, over me, her mouth.
Tika ete mbonge ya mayi emema ngai lisusu te, mozindo emela lisusu ngai te, mpe libulu ekangamela ngai te!
16 Answer me, O Yahweh, for good is thy lovingkindness, According to the abounding of thy compassions, turn thou towards me:
Yawe, yanola ngai, pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali malamu; baluka epai na ngai, na mawa monene na Yo.
17 Then do not hide thy face from thy servant, Because I am in distress, haste thou—answer me!
Kobombela lisusu mosali na Yo te elongi na Yo. Yanola ngai noki, pamba te nazali na pasi.
18 Oh draw near unto my soul—redeem it, Because of mine enemies, ransom me.
Pusana pene na ngai, mpe sikola ngai; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bayini na ngai.
19 Thou, knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion, Before thee, are all mine adversaries.
Oyebi ndenge nini nazali kofingama, oyebi soni mpe kosambwa na ngai; banguna na ngai nyonso bazali liboso na Yo.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am weak, —Though I waited for one to pity me, yet there was none, And for comforters, yet I found not any.
Mafinga ezokisi motema na ngai, mpe pota yango ezali kosila te; nazelaki elembo ya mawa kowuta na bato, kasi namonaki yango te; nalukaki babondisi, kasi namonaki bango te.
21 But they put in my food—poison! And, for my thirst, they gave for my drink—vinegar!
Batiaki ngenge kati na bilei na ngai, mpe bamelisaki ngai vino ya ngayi tango nayokaki posa ya mayi.
22 Let their table, before them, become a snare, And unto their friends, a lure;
Tika ete mesa na bango ekoma motambo liboso na bango, mpe kimia na bango ekoma monyama.
23 Let their eyes become too dim to see, And, their loins, continually cause thou to shake;
Tika ete miso na bango ekufa mpo ete bamona lisusu te, mpe babela mikongo mpo na libela.
24 Pour out over them thine indignation, And let, the glow of thine anger, overtake them:
Sopela bango kanda makasi na Yo, mpe tika ete kanda na Yo ya makasi ekanga bango.
25 Let their encampment become desolate, In their tents, be there none to dwell:
Tika ete molako na bango etikala polele, mpe ete moto moko te avanda na bandako na bango ya kapo.
26 For, whom, thou thyself, hadst smitten, they pursued, And, unto the pain of thy wounded ones, they must needs add.
Pamba te bazali konyokola bato oyo ozokisaki, mpe bazali kopanza sango ya pasi ya bato oyo oyokisaki pasi.
27 Lay punishment on their iniquity, And let them not enter into thy righteousness;
Bakisa mabe na likolo ya mabe na bango, mpe kokota likambo na bango te na bosembo na Yo.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of life, And, with the righteous, let them not be enrolled.
Tika ete bakombo na bango elongwa na buku ya bomoi, mpe batangama te na molongo ya bato ya sembo.
29 I, then, am humbled and in pain, Thy salvation, O God, may it set me on high.
Solo, nazali mobola mpe moto ya pasi; kasi lobiko na Yo, oh Nzambe, ebatelaka ngai.
30 I will praise the Name of God with a song, And will magnify him with thanksgiving;
Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Nzambe, mpe nakopesa Ye nkembo elongo na matondi.
31 So shall it be more pleasing to Yahweh than a bullock of the herd, Showing horn [and] divided hoof.
Yango nde ekosepelisa Yawe, koleka ngombe oyo ezali na maseke mpe na makolo ekabwana.
32 The humbled have seen—they rejoice! Ye seekers of God, let your heart, then, revive;
Babola bamoni mpe bazali kosepela. Tika ete mitema na bino oyo bolukaka Nzambe ezala na bomoi!
33 For, a Hearkener to the needy, is Yahweh, And, his prisoners, hath he not despised.
Pamba te Yawe ayokaka bato oyo bakelela, mpe atiolaka bato na Ye te ata bazali bakangami kati na boloko.
34 Let the heavens and the earth, praise him, The seas, and everything that creepeth therein.
Tika ete likolo mpe mabele, bibale minene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ekumisa Ye!
35 For, God, will save Zion, And build the cities of Judah, So shall men dwell there, and possess it:
Pamba te Nzambe akobikisa Siona mpe akotonga lisusu bingumba ya Yuda. Bato bakovanda kuna mpe bakozwa yango lokola libula na bango.
36 Yea, the seed of his servants, shall inherit it, And, the lovers of his Name, shall settle down therein.
Bakitani ya basali na Ye bakozwa yango lokola libula, mpe bato oyo balingaka Kombo na Ye bakovanda kati na yango.
