Psalms 88
1 A Song, a Melody. For the Sons of Korah. To the Chief Musician. On "Mahalath." For alternate Song. An Instructive Psalm. By Heman the Ezrahite. O Yahweh, God of my salvation, By day, have I made outcry, In the night, [also] before thee.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya bana ya Kore. Ezali ya koyemba na flite. Nzembo ya Emani, moto ya Ezera. Yawe, ozali Nzambe; Yo nde obikisaka ngai! Butu mpe moyi, nagangaka epai na Yo!
2 Let my prayer, come into thy presence, Bow down thine ear to my loud cry.
Tika ete losambo na ngai ekoma epai na Yo; Yoka koganga na ngai!
Pamba te bomoi na ngai etondi na pasi mpe nakomi pene ya kokufa. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted with them who descend into the pit, I have become as a man that is without help;
Batie ngai na molongo ya bato oyo bazali kokende na kunda; nakeseni ata moke te na moto oyo azali lisusu na makasi te.
5 Among the dead, is my couch, —Like the slain that lie in the grave, Where thou rememberest them no more, Yea, they, from thy hand, are cut off;
Nakomi moko kati na bakufi, lokola bato oyo basila kokufa na bitumba mpe bazali sik’oyo kati na kunda, lokola bato oyo okanisaka lisusu te, pamba te obatelaka bango lisusu te.
6 Thou hast laid me, In the lowest pit, In dark places, In the deeps:
Obwaki ngai na libulu ya mozindo makasi, kati na mozindo ya molili.
7 Upon me, hath rested thine indignation, And, with all thy breakers, hast thou caused affliction. (Selah)
Kanda na Yo ya makasi ekweyeli ngai, bambonge na yango nyonso ezali konyokola ngai.
8 Thou hast far removed mine acquaintances from me, —Thou hast made me an abomination unto them, Shut up, and I cannot go forth!
Okaboli ngai na balingami na ngai ya motema, okomisi ngai eloko ya nkele na miso na bango; nakomi lokola mokangami kati na boloko, nakoki kobima te!
9 Mine eye, hath dimmed through affliction; I have called upon thee, O Yahweh, all day long, I have spread out, unto thee, my hands.
Miso na ngai ezali komona lisusu te mpo na pasi; nzokande nabelelaka Yo, Yawe, mikolo nyonso, natombolaka maboko na ngai epai na Yo!
10 For the dead, wilt thou perform a wonder? Or shall, the shades, arising, give thee thanks? (Selah)
Boni, okosala bikamwa mpo na bakufi? Boni, bakufi bakoki kotelema mpo na kosanzola Yo?
11 Shall Thy lovingkindness be recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness, in destruction?
Boni, bolingo na Yo etatolamaka kati na kunda, mpe bosembo na Yo, kati na mboka ya bakufi?
12 Shall any wonder of thine, be known in the dark? Or, thy righteousness, in the land of forgetfulness?
Boni, bikamwa na Yo eyebani kati na molili, mpe bosembo na Yo, kati na mokili ya bato oyo babosana?
13 But, I, unto thee, O Yahweh, have cried for help, And, in the morning, my prayer will confront thee!
Kasi ngai, nazali kobelela nde Yo, Yawe; nabondelaka Yo tongo nyonso.
14 Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou reject my soul? shouldst thou hide thy face from me?
Yawe, mpo na nini kobwaka ngai mpe kobombela ngai elongi na Yo?
15 Afflicted have I been, and dying, from youth, I have borne the terror of thee—I shall be distracted!
Wuta bolenge na ngai, nazali mobola mpe moto na pasi; mpe okweyiselaka ngai makambo na Yo ya somo! Solo, elikya esili ngai!
16 Over me, have passed thy bursts of burning anger, The alarms of thee have put an end to me;
Kanda makasi na Yo ebetaka ngai, minyoko oyo ewutaka epai na Yo ekomisaka ngai moto pamba.
17 They have surrounded me like waters, all the day, They have come circling against me together:
Ezingelaka ngai mikolo nyonso, lokola mayi, na bangambo nyonso.
18 Thou hast far removed from me, lover and friend, Mine acquaintances, are in darkness.
Okaboli ngai na baninga mpe balingami na ngai, natikali na moninga kaka moko ya motema: molili!
