Psalms 69
1 O God, save me, because [I am in great danger]. [It is as though] flood water is up to my neck, [and I am about to drown] [MET].
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 continue to sink in the deep mud, and there is no solid ground for me to stand on. I am in deep water, and flood waters are swirling around 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 exhausted from calling out [for help]; my throat is very dry. Because I have cried so much as I have waited for God [to help me], my eyes are swollen.
Nalembi nzoto likolo ya kobelela lisungi; mongongo na ngai ekawuki, miso na ngai elembi mpo na kotalela Nzambe na ngai.
4 Those who hate me when there is no reason to hate me are more than the number of hairs on my head [HYP]! Those who want to get rid of me are strong, and they tell lies about me. They demand that I return to them things that I did not steal!
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, (you see the sins that I have committed/my sins are not hidden from you). You know that I have foolishly [disobeyed your laws].
Nzambe, oyebi bozoba na ngai, mpe mabe na ngai ezali ya kobombama te na miso na Yo.
6 O Yahweh God, [you who are the commander] of the armies [of heaven], do not allow the [wrong things that] I [have done] to cause those who trust in you to be disappointed/disillusioned. O God, you whom [we] Israeli people [worship], do not allow me to cause your people to be humiliated.
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 People have insulted/ridiculed me because [I am devoted to] you. They have thoroughly humiliated [IDM] me.
Pamba te nandimi kofingama mpo na Yo, mpe soni ezipi ngai elongi.
8 Even my own [older] brothers act as if they do not know me; they treat me like a foreigner.
Bandeko na ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola moto oyo bayebi te, nakomi lokola mopaya na miso ya bana ya mama na ngai.
9 [Some people have despised your temple]; but my zeal for [keeping] your temple [holy] is like a fire burning inside me. So [it is as though] those who are insulting you are also insulting 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 myself and (fasted/abstained from eating food) [to show my sadness about the disgraceful things that they have done to your temple], they just insult me.
Soki naleli mpe nakili bilei, nasengeli kaka kofingama;
11 When I put on [rough] sackcloth [to show that I am sad], they laugh at [IDM] me.
soki nalati saki, bato basalaka masapo mpo na kotiola ngai.
12 Even the elders [of the city] say bad things about me. The drunkards of the city sing [disgusting] songs about me.
Bato oyo bavandi na ekuke batiolaka ngai, balangwi masanga bayembaka kombo na ngai kati na banzembo na bango.
13 But Yahweh, I will [continue] praying to you. At the time that you choose, answer me and rescue me because you faithfully love me.
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 Do not allow me to sink any more in the mud. Rescue me from those who hate me! Lift me up out of these deep 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 Do not allow flood waters to swirl around me, do not allow the deep [mud] to swallow me; keep me from sinking into the pit [of death] [MET].
Tika ete mbonge ya mayi emema ngai lisusu te, mozindo emela lisusu ngai te, mpe libulu ekangamela ngai te!
16 O Yahweh, answer my prayer and help me because you are good and love me faithfully.
Yawe, yanola ngai, pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali malamu; baluka epai na ngai, na mawa monene na Yo.
17 Do not (hide yourself from/refuse to hear) me; answer me quickly because I am in great trouble.
Kobombela lisusu mosali na Yo te elongi na Yo. Yanola ngai noki, pamba te nazali na pasi.
18 Come near to me and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
Pusana pene na ngai, mpe sikola ngai; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bayini na ngai.
19 You know that I am insulted and that [people cause] me [to feel] ashamed and dishonored; you know [who] all my enemies [are].
Oyebi ndenge nini nazali kofingama, oyebi soni mpe kosambwa na ngai; banguna na ngai nyonso bazali liboso na Yo.
20 [Their] insults have deeply offended me, and I (feel helpless/am in despair). I searched for [someone who would] pity [me], but there was no one. I wanted someone to encourage/comfort me, but there were none.
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 [Instead], they gave me food [that tasted like] poison, and when I was thirsty, they gave me sour wine to drink.
Batiaki ngenge kati na bilei na ngai, mpe bamelisaki ngai vino ya ngayi tango nayokaki posa ya mayi.
22 I hope/desire that the feasts [MTY] [that they enjoy] will (become a snare for/bring trouble to) them, and that [those whom they invite to] the sacrificial feasts will also be trapped.
Tika ete mesa na bango ekoma motambo liboso na bango, mpe kimia na bango ekoma monyama.
23 I hope/desire that their eyesight will become dim so that they cannot see anything, and that their backs/bodies will become weaker and weaker.
Tika ete miso na bango ekufa mpo ete bamona lisusu te, mpe babela mikongo mpo na libela.
24 Show them that you are very angry with them! Because of your great/furious anger, chase after them and catch them.
Sopela bango kanda makasi na Yo, mpe tika ete kanda na Yo ya makasi ekanga bango.
25 Cause their towns to become abandoned/deserted and that there will be no one left to live in their tents/houses.
Tika ete molako na bango etikala polele, mpe ete moto moko te avanda na bandako na bango ya kapo.
26 [Do this] because they persecute those whom you have punished, (they talk about the sins of/they want to hurt even more) those whom you have wounded.
Pamba te bazali konyokola bato oyo ozokisaki, mpe bazali kopanza sango ya pasi ya bato oyo oyokisaki pasi.
27 Keep making a record of all their sins, do not acquit/pardon them [for the evil things that they have done].
Bakisa mabe na likolo ya mabe na bango, mpe kokota likambo na bango te na bosembo na Yo.
28 Erase their names [SYN] from the book [containing the names of those who have eternal] life; do not include them in the list of righteous people.
Tika ete bakombo na bango elongwa na buku ya bomoi, mpe batangama te na molongo ya bato ya sembo.
29 As for me, I have pain and am suffering. O God, protect me and rescue me.
Solo, nazali mobola mpe moto ya pasi; kasi lobiko na Yo, oh Nzambe, ebatelaka ngai.
30 When God does that, I will sing as I praise God, and I will honor him by thanking him.
Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Nzambe, mpe nakopesa Ye nkembo elongo na matondi.
31 My doing that will please Yahweh more than [sacrificing] oxen, more than offering him full-grown bulls.
Yango nde ekosepelisa Yawe, koleka ngombe oyo ezali na maseke mpe na makolo ekabwana.
32 Oppressed/Afflicted people will see [that God has rescued me], and they will be glad. I want all of you who ask God [to help you] to be encouraged.
Babola bamoni mpe bazali kosepela. Tika ete mitema na bino oyo bolukaka Nzambe ezala na bomoi!
33 Yahweh listens to those who are needy; He does not ignore/forget those who are oppressed/imprisoned.
Pamba te Yawe ayokaka bato oyo bakelela, mpe atiolaka bato na Ye te ata bazali bakangami kati na boloko.
34 I desire that everything will praise God— everything that is in heaven and on earth, and all the creatures that are in the seas.
Tika ete likolo mpe mabele, bibale minene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ekumisa Ye!
35 God will rescue the people of Jerusalem [from their enemies], and he will rebuild the towns that are in Judah. His people will live there and [again] possess the land.
Pamba te Nzambe akobikisa Siona mpe akotonga lisusu bingumba ya Yuda. Bato bakovanda kuna mpe bakozwa yango lokola libula na bango.
36 The descendants of his people will inherit it, and those who love him will live there [safely].
Bakitani ya basali na Ye bakozwa yango lokola libula, mpe bato oyo balingaka Kombo na Ye bakovanda kati na yango.
