< 2 Samuel 22 >
1 David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
Davidi ayembelaki Yawe nzembo na maloba oyo, tango Yawe akangolaki ye wuta na maboko ya banguna na ye nyonso mpe na loboko ya Saulo.
2 and he said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
Alobaki: Yawe azali libanga na ngai, ndako na ngai ya makasi mpe mokangoli na ngai;
3 God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My saviour, you save me from violence.
azali Nzambe na ngai, libanga na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai; azali nguba na ngai, nguya oyo ebikisaka ngai, ekimelo na ngai, mpe Mobikisi na ngai. Okangolaka ngai wuta na maboko ya bato mabe.
4 I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
Nabelelaki Yawe oyo abongi na lokumu, mpe nakangolamaki wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
5 For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
Mbonge ya kufa efinaki ngai, mpela ya libebi epesaki ngai somo,
6 The cords of Sheol were around me. The snares of death caught me. (Sheol )
basinga ya mboka ya bakufi elingaki ngai, mitambo ya kufa ekangaki ngai. (Sheol )
7 In my distress, I called on the LORD. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.
Kati na pasi na ngai, nabelelaki Yawe, nagangaki epai ya Nzambe na ngai mpo ete asunga ngai. Yawe ayokaki mongongo na ngai wuta na Tempelo na Ye, koganga na ngai mpo na kosenga lisungi ekomaki kino na matoyi na Ye.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Mabele ekomaki koningana makasi, miboko ya Lola elengaki mpe ebukanaki, pamba te Yawe asilikaki.
9 Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
Milinga ekomaki kobima na zolo na Ye, moto makasi elongo na makala ya moto ekomaki kobima na monoko na Ye.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
Afungolaki Lola mpe akitaki, mapata ya mwindo ezalaki na se ya matambe na Ye.
11 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.
Amataki na likolo ya Sheribe mpe apumbwaki, apepaki na mapapu ya mopepe.
12 He made darkness a shelter around himself, gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
Akomisaki molili oyo ezingelaki Ye mpe mapata ya mwindo ya likolo, Ndako na Ye.
13 At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.
Kongenga oyo ezalaki liboso na Ye ezalaki kobimisa makala ya moto.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
Yawe agangaki wuta na Lola, mongongo ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo eyokanaki.
15 He sent out arrows and scattered them, lightning and confused them.
Abwakaki makonga na Ye, mpe atindaki yango na bangambo nyonso; abakisaki motango ya mikalikali mpo na kopalanganisa yango.
16 Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the LORD’s rebuke, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
Na koganga ya Yawe mpe na pema ya zolo na Ye, nzela oyo mayi ya ebale elekelaka ebimaki, mpe miboko ya mokili emonanaki na libanda.
17 He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
Atandaki loboko na Ye wuta na likolo, akamataki ngai mpe abimisaki ngai na likama oyo nazalaki na yango kati na mayi ya mozindo makasi.
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Akangolaki ngai wuta na maboko ya monguna na ngai ya nguya mpe ya bayini na ngai, pamba te balekaki ngai na makasi.
19 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Babundisaki ngai na mokolo oyo pasi ezalaki kokanga ngai, kasi Yawe azalaki eyekamelo na ngai.
20 He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Abimisaki ngai mpo na kokomisa ngai nsomi, akangolaki ngai, pamba te alingaka ngai.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
Yawe asalelaki ngai makambo wana kolanda bosembo na ngai, afutaki ngai kolanda bopeto ya maboko na ngai.
22 For I have kept the LORD’s ways, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Pamba te nabateli banzela ya Yawe, napesi Nzambe na ngai mokongo te lokola bato mabe.
23 For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.
Natosaka mibeko na Ye nyonso mpe nabatelaka bikateli na Ye.
24 I was also perfect towards him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Epai na Ye, nazalaki moto oyo azangi pamela mpe namibatelaki mpo ete nasala masumu te.
25 Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
Yawe afuti ngai kolanda bosembo na ngai, kolanda bopeto na ngai na miso na Ye.
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.
Solo, otalisaka bosembo na Yo epai ya moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo, mpe bolamu na Yo, epai ya moto oyo azangi pamela.
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
Otalisaka bopeto na Yo epai ya moto ya peto, kasi omibombaka liboso ya moto oyo atambolaka nyoka-nyoka.
28 You will save the afflicted people, but your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.
Obikisaka banyokolami, otalaka mpe okitisaka bato na lofundu.
29 For you are my lamp, LORD. The LORD will light up my darkness.
Oh Yawe, ozali mwinda na ngai; obongolaka molili na ngai pole.
30 For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
Elongo na Yo, nabundisaka mampinga oyo elati bibundeli; mpe na lisungi ya Nzambe na ngai, nakatisaka bamir.
31 As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
Nzela ya Nzambe ezali ya kokoka, Liloba na Yawe ezali na mbeba te; azali nguba mpo na bato nyonso oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango.
32 For who is God, besides the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God?
Nani azali Nzambe soki Yawe te? Nani azali libanga soki Nzambe na biso te?
33 God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.
Ezali Nzambe nde azali ndako na ngai ya makasi, abatelaka nzela na ngai mpe akomisaka yango polele liboso na ngai;
34 He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.
akomisaka makolo na ngai lokola ya mboloko mpe avandisaka ngai na bisika ya likolo;
35 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
alakisaka ngai kobunda, mpe maboko na ngai ekoki kobenda tolotolo ya bronze.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.
Okomisaka lobiko na Yo nguba na ngai, mpe lisungi na Yo ekomisaka ngai makasi.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
Otambolisaka ngai na kimia, mpe makolo na ngai elengaka te.
38 I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.
Nalandaka banguna na ngai mpe nabomaka bango, nazongaka kaka soki nasilisi koboma bango.
39 I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.
Nabebisaka bango nye, mpe bakokaka lisusu kotelema te; bakweyaka na se ya matambe na ngai.
40 For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Opesaka ngai makasi ya bitumba, ogumbaka banguna na ngai mpe otiaka bango na se ya matambe na ngai.
41 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Okimisaka banguna na ngai mosika na ngai, mpe nabebisaka bayini na ngai.
42 They looked, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
Bagangaka mpo na koluka lisungi, kasi moto oyo akokaki kobikisa bango azalaka te; babelelaka Yawe, kasi ayanolaka bango te.
43 Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
Nanikaka bango lokola putulu ya mabele, nafinaka bango, nanyataka bango lokola potopoto ya nzela.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
Olongisaka ngai na bitumba ya bato, obatelaka ngai mpo ete nazala mokambi ya bikolo. Bato oyo nayebaki te bakomi kosalela ngai.
45 The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.
Bapaya bazali koya mpo ete nasepela na bango; soki kaka bayoki ngai, batosaka ngai.
46 The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.
Bango nyonso balembi nzoto mpe bakomi kobima na kolenga wuta na bandako na bango ya makasi.
47 The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
Longonya na Yawe! Tika ete Ye oyo azali libanga na ngai akumisama! Tika ete Nzambe, libanga ya lobiko na ngai, anetolama!
48 even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,
Azali Nzambe oyo abundelaka ngai, oyo atiaka bikolo na se ya matambe na ngai,
49 who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
akangolaka ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai. Olongisaka ngai liboso ya banguna na ngai, obikisaka ngai na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
50 Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, amongst the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
Yango wana, nakosanzola Yo, Yawe, kati na bikolo, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
51 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”
Yawe apesaka elonga monene epai ya mokonzi na Ye, atalisaka bolingo na Ye epai ya mopakolami na Ye, epai ya Davidi mpe libota na ye mpo na libela.
