Psalms 18
1 For the Chief Musician. By David the servant of the LORD, who spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul. He said, I love you, LORD, my strength.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi, mosali na Yawe. Ayembelaki Yawe nzembo na maloba oyo, tango Yawe akangolaki ye wuta na maboko ya banguna na ye nyonso mpe na loboko ya Saulo. Oh Yawe, makasi na ngai, nalingaka Yo.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Yawe azali libanga na ngai, ndako na ngai ya makasi mpe mokangoli na ngai; azali Nzambe na ngai, libanga na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai; azali nguba na ngai, Mobikisi na ngai, mpe ekimelo na ngai.
3 I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; and I am saved from my enemies.
Nabelelaki Yawe oyo abongi na lokumu, mpe nakangolamaki wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
4 The cords of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
Basinga ya kufa efinaki ngai, mpela ya libebi epesaki ngai somo.
Basinga ya mboka ya bakufi elingaki ngai, mitambo ya kufa ekangaki ngai. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called on the LORD, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him 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.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Mabele ekomaki koningana makasi, miboko ya bangomba elengaki mpe ebukanaki, pamba te Yawe asilikaki.
8 Smoke went 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.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
Yawe afungolaki Lola mpe akitaki; mapata ya mwindo ezalaki na se ya matambe na Ye.
10 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
Amataki na likolo ya Sheribe mpe apumbwaki, apepaki na mapapu ya mopepe.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Akomisaki molili ebombamelo na Ye, kapo na Ye, oyo ezingelaki Ye; mapata minene ezingelaki Ye, mwindo lokola mayi ya mozindo.
12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
Kongenga oyo ezalaki liboso na Ye ezalaki kokimisa mapata, konokisa mvula ya mabanga mpe kobimisa makala ya moto.
13 The LORD also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
Yawe agangaki wuta na Lola, mongongo ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo eyokanaki na nzela ya mvula ya mabanga mpe makala ya moto.
14 He sent out his arrows, and scattered them. He routed them with great lightning bolts.
Abwakaki makonga na Ye mpe atindaki yango na bangambo nyonso; abakisaki motango ya mikalikali mpo na kopalanganisa yango.
15 Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
Yawe, tango ogangelaki yango, na nzela ya pema na Yo mpe ya milinga ya zolo na Yo, nzela oyo mayi ya ebale elekelaka ebimaki, miboko ya mokili emonanaki na libanda.
16 He sent from on high. 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;
17 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.
18 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.
19 He brought me out also 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.
20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands, he has recompensed me.
Yawe asaleli ngai makambo wana kolanda bosembo na ngai, afuti ngai kolanda bopeto ya maboko na ngai;
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
pamba te nabateli banzela ya Yawe, napesi Nzambe na ngai mokongo te lokola bato mabe.
22 For all his ordinances were before me. I didn’t put away his statutes from me.
Natosaka mibeko na Ye nyonso mpe nabatelaka bikateli na Ye.
23 I was also blameless with him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Epai na Ye, nazalaki moto oyo azangi pamela mpe namibatelaki mpo ete nasala masumu te.
24 Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Yawe afuti ngai kolanda bosembo na ngai, kolanda bopeto ya maboko na ngai na miso na Ye.
25 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.
26 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.
27 For you will save the afflicted people, but the arrogant eyes you will bring down.
Yo nde obikisaka banyokolami, okitisaka bato na lofundu.
28 For you will light my lamp, LORD. My God will light up my darkness.
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, Yo nde opelisaka mwinda na ngai; obongolaka molili na ngai pole.
29 For by you, I advance through 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.
30 As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tried. 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.
31 For who is God, except the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God,
Nani azali Nzambe soki Yawe te? Nani azali libanga soki Nzambe na biso te?
32 the God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
Nzambe apesaka ngai makasi mpe akomisaka nzela na ngai ya kokoka;
33 He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and sets me on my high places.
akomisaka makolo na ngai lokola ya mboloko, mpe avandisaka ngai na bisika ya likolo;
34 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.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand sustains me. Your gentleness has made me great.
Okomisaka lobiko na Yo nguba na ngai, loboko na Yo ya mobali elendisaka ngai, mpe lisungi na Yo ekomisaka ngai makasi.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, My feet have not slipped.
Otambolisaka ngai na kimia, mpe makolo na ngai elengaka te.
37 I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. I won’t turn away until they are consumed.
Nalandaka banguna na ngai, mpe nakangaka bango; nazongaka kaka soki nasilisi koboma bango.
38 I will strike them through, so that they will not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
Nabebisaka bango nye, mpe bakokaka lisusu kotelema te; bakweyaka na se ya matambe na ngai.
39 For you have armed me with strength to 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.
40 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.
41 They cried, 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.
42 Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Nanikaka bango lokola putulu oyo mopepe epumbwisaka, nanyataka bango lokola potopoto ya nzela.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people. You have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
Olongisaka ngai na bitumba ya bato, obatelaka ngai mpo ete nazala mokambi ya bikolo. Bato oyo nayebaki te bakomi kosalela ngai.
44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
Soki kaka bayoki ngai, batosaka ngai; mpe bapaya bayaka mpo ete nasepela na bango.
45 The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
Bango nyonso balembi nzoto mpe bakomi kobima na kolenga wuta na bandako na bango ya makasi.
46 The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock. Exalted be the God of my salvation,
Longonya na Yawe! Tika ete Ye oyo azali libanga na ngai akumisama! Tika ete Nzambe ya lobiko na ngai anetolama!
47 even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
Azali Nzambe oyo abundelaka ngai, oyo atiaka bikolo na se ya matambe na ngai,
48 He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
oyo akangolaka ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai. Olongisaka ngai liboso ya banguna na ngai, obikisaka ngai na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
49 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.
50 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 epai ya libota na ye, mpo na libela.
