< Psalms 70 >
1 To the Chief Musician. David’s. To call to Remembrance. [Be pleased] O God, to rescue me, O Yahweh, to help me—make haste.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi mpo na kokanisa misala ya Nzambe. Nzambe, yaka noki mpo na kangola ngai! Yawe, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai!
2 Let them turn pale and then at once blush, Who are seeking my life, —Let them draw back, and be confounded, Who are taking pleasure in my misfortune;
Tika ete bato oyo balukaka kufa na ngai bakufa soni mpe basambwa! Tika ete bato oyo bazelaka libebi na ngai bazonga sima mpe bayokisama soni!
3 Let them turn back, on account of their own shame, Who are saying, Aha! Aha!
Tika ete bato oyo balobaka na ngai: « Ah! Ah! » bazonga mpo na soni!
4 Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, Yea, let them, who are seekers of thee, —say continually, God be magnified! Who are lovers of thy salvation.
Tika ete bato nyonso oyo balukaka Yo batonda na esengo mpe basepela kati na Yo! Tika ete ba-oyo balingaka lobiko na Yo balobaka tango nyonso: « Nzambe azali monene! »
5 But, I, being humbled and needy, O God, haste to me, —My help and my deliverer, art thou, O Yahweh do not tarry.
Mpo ete nazali mobola mpe moto akelela, Nzambe, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai. Yawe, ozali Lisungi mpe Mokangoli na ngai, kowumela te!
