Psalms 3
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they multiplied that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Ayembaki yango tango azalaki kokima Abisalomi, mwana na ye. Oh Yawe, banguna na ngai bazali motango boni! Banguna boni oyo bazali kobundisa ngai!
2 Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. (Selah)
Ebele bazali koloba na tina na ngai: « Nzambe akobikisa ye te! »
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Nzokande Yo, Yawe, ozali nguba mpe nkembo na ngai, Yo nde omatisaka lokumu na ngai.
4 I cried to the LORD with my voice, and he heard me from his holy hill. (Selah)
Nabelelaka Yawe, mpe ayanolaka ngai wuta na ngomba na Ye ya bule.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awoke; for the LORD sustained me.
Nalalaka mpe nazwaka pongi; nalamukaka lisusu, pamba te Yawe azali makasi na ngai.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me on all sides.
Nakobanga te atako ebele ya bankoto bazingeli ngai na bangambo nyonso.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all my enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Yawe, telema! Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai! Beta banguna na ngai nyonso bambata, buka bato mabe minu.
8 Salvation belongeth to the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. (Selah)
Kokangolama na ngai ewutaka na Yawe. Tika ete lipamboli na Yo ewumela kati na bato na Yo.
