Psalms 71
1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
Yawe, ozali ebombamelo na ngai; kondima te ete nayoka soni!
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thy ear to me, and save me.
Na bosembo na Yo, kangola mpe bikisa ngai. Yoka ngai mpe bikisa ngai.
3 Be thou my strong habitation, to which I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my rock and my fortress.
Zala mpo na ngai ekimelo ya libanga epai wapi nakoki kokende tango nyonso. Ozwaki mokano ya kobikisa ngai, pamba te ozali libanga mpe ndako na ngai batonga makasi.
4 Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bato mabe, na maboko ya batomboki mpe bato na kanza.
5 For thou [art] my hope, O LORD God: [thou art] my trust from my youth.
Nkolo Yawe, ozali elikya na ngai; wuta bolenge na ngai, namipesaka na Yo.
6 By thee have I been sustained from my birth: thou art he that brought me into life: my praise [shall be] continually of thee.
Wuta mbotama na ngai, natalelaka Yo; Yo nde obimisaki ngai na libumu ya mama na ngai. Nakokumisa Yo tango nyonso.
7 I am as a wonder to many; but thou [art] my strong refuge.
Nazali likamwisi mpo na bato ebele; ozali ebombamelo na ngai ya makasi.
8 Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honor all the day.
Tika ete monoko na ngai etonda na masanzoli mpo na lokumu na Yo; tika ete etatolaka tango nyonso kongenga ya nkembo na Yo.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Kobwaka ngai te awa nakomi mobange, kotika ngai te awa makasi na ngai ekomi kosila.
10 For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
Pamba te banguna na ngai bazali koloba mabe na tina na ngai, mpe bato oyo balukaka koboma ngai basaleli ngai likita.
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for [there is] none to deliver [him].
Bazali koloba: « Nzambe asundoli ye; bolanda ye, bokanga ye; moto oyo akokangola ye azali te! »
12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
Oh Nzambe, kozala mosika na ngai te! Nzambe na ngai, yaka noki mpo na kosunga ngai.
13 Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
Tika ete bato oyo bafundaka ngai bakufa soni mpe balimwa! Tika ete ba-oyo balukaka pasi na ngai basambwa mpe bayokisama soni!
14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
Kasi ngai, nakozala na elikya tango nyonso mpe nakokoba kokumisa Yo.
15 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
Monoko na ngai ekosakola tango nyonso misala ya bosembo mpe ya lobiko na Yo, pamba te nayebi motango na yango te.
16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
Nkolo Yawe, nakoya epai na Yo mpe nakotatola misala na Yo ya nguya; nakotatola misala malamu ya bosembo na Yo, misala ya bosembo na Yo kaka.
17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
Nzambe, wuta bolenge na ngai, oteya ngai; mpe kino lelo, nazali kotatola bikamwa na Yo.
18 Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength to [this] generation, [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.
Ezala ndenge nakomi sik’oyo mobange mpe suki na ngai ekomi pembe, oh Nzambe na ngai, kotika ngai te, mpo ete natatola makasi na Yo epai ya bato ya ekeke oyo, mpe misala ya nguya na Yo epai ya bato nyonso oyo bakoya sima.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done great things: O God, who [is] like to thee!
Nzambe, bosembo na Yo ekenda kino na likolo, pamba te osalaka makambo minene. Oh Nzambe, nani akokani na Yo?
20 [Thou], who hast shown me great and severe troubles, wilt revive me again, and wilt bring me again from the depths of the earth.
Atako osalaki ete tokutana na pasi mingi mpe na makambo ya bololo, kasi okotika lisusu biso kozala na bomoi, okobimisa ngai lisusu wuta na mozindo ya mabele.
21 Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Okomatisa lisusu lokumu na ngai, mpe okobondisa ngai lisusu.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O my God: to thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
Nzambe na ngai, nakosanzola Yo na lindanda mpo na boyengebene na Yo; Mosantu ya Isalaele, nakobeta lindanda mpo na lokumu na Yo.
23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
Nakoganga na esengo tango nakoyemba banzembo mpo na lokumu na Yo, pamba te okangoli bomoi na ngai.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.
Lolemo na ngai ekotatola tango nyonso misala ya bosembo na Yo, pamba te bato oyo balukaka pasi na ngai bayokisami soni mpe basambwe.
