Psalms 10
1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?
Yawe, mpo na nini otelemi mosika? Mpo na nini obombami na tango ya pasi?
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
Na lolendo na ye, moto mabe oyo akangami na mabongisi na ye anyokolaka mobola.
3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.
Pamba te moto mabe amikumisaka na tina na posa makasi ya motema na ye, apambolaka moto oyo azali na lokoso mpe afingaka Yawe.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
Na lolendo na ye, moto mabe alobaka: « Nzambe azalaka te. » Kati na makanisi na ye nyonso, ezali na esika te mpo na Nzambe.
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
Misala na ye ekendeke liboso tango nyonso, asalaka keba te na mikano na Yo, Yawe; atiolaka banguna na ye nyonso.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
Amilobelaka: « Eloko moko te ekotikala kolengisa ngai. » Alapaka ndayi boye: « Moko te akotikala kosala ngai mabe. »
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
Monoko na ye etonda na bilakeli mabe, lokuta mpe mangungu; abongisaka kaka pasi mpe mabe.
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.
Abombamaka pene ya bamboka. Wuta na bisika oyo abombamaka, abomaka moto oyo asali mabe te. Miso na ye ezelaka na kobombama bato ya koboma.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
Abombamaka lokola nkosi kati na evandelo na yango, abombamaka mpo na kokanga moto oyo azangi nguya; akangaka moto oyo azangi nguya na kotindika ye pembeni ya motambo.
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
Agumbaka ye mpe avandisaka ye na mabele, mpe akweyaka na se ya bokonzi na ye.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
Amilobelaka: « Nzambe akotikala koyeba te, abombaka elongi na Ye mpe akotikala komona te. »
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand: forget not the humble.
Oh Yawe, telema. Nzambe, sembola loboko na Yo, kanisa babola.
13 Why doth the wicked despise God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
Mpo na nini moto mabe afinga Nzambe? Mpo na nini amilobela: « Nzambe akopesa ngai etumbu te? »
14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to repay it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself to thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
Pamba te, Yo Nzambe, omoni pasi ya banyokolami; otalaka pasi na bango mpe ozwaka yango kati na loboko na Yo. Banyokolami bamipesaka epai na Yo oyo osungaka bana bitike.
15 Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou shalt find none.
Bebisa nguya ya moto mabe, pesa moto ya misala mabe etumbu mpo na mabe na ye, mpo ete emonana lisusu te.
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen have perished out of his land.
Yawe azali Mokonzi mpo na seko, bapagano bakozala lisusu te kati na mokili na Ye.
17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thy ear to hear:
Yawe, oyokaka posa ya banyokolami, olendisaka bango, mpe oyokaka koganga na bango,
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
mpo na kolongisa mwana etike mpe monyokolami; boye, bato ya mokili bakobangisa lisusu te.
