Psalms 10
1 Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,
Yawe, mpo na nini otelemi mosika? Mpo na nini obombami na tango ya pasi?
2 Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.
Na lolendo na ye, moto mabe oyo akangami na mabongisi na ye anyokolaka mobola.
3 Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.
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 according to the height of his face, inquireth not. 'God is not!' [are] all his devices.
Na lolendo na ye, moto mabe alobaka: « Nzambe azalaka te. » Kati na makanisi na ye nyonso, ezali na esika te mpo na Nzambe.
5 Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries — 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 am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.
Amilobelaka: « Eloko moko te ekotikala kolengisa ngai. » Alapaka ndayi boye: « Moko te akotikala kosala ngai mabe. »
7 Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
Monoko na ye etonda na bilakeli mabe, lokuta mpe mangungu; abongisaka kaka pasi mpe mabe.
8 He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
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 in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor, drawing 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 is bruised — he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
Agumbaka ye mpe avandisaka ye na mabele, mpe akweyaka na se ya bokonzi na ye.
11 He said in his heart, 'God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'
Amilobelaka: « Nzambe akotikala koyeba te, abombaka elongi na Ye mpe akotikala komona te. »
12 Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.
Oh Yawe, telema. Nzambe, sembola loboko na Yo, kanisa babola.
13 Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, 'It is not required.'
Mpo na nini moto mabe afinga Nzambe? Mpo na nini amilobela: « Nzambe akopesa ngai etumbu te? »
14 Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it], Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.
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 the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
Bebisa nguya ya moto mabe, pesa moto ya misala mabe etumbu mpo na mabe na ye, mpo ete emonana lisusu te.
16 Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
Yawe azali Mokonzi mpo na seko, bapagano bakozala lisusu te kati na mokili na Ye.
17 The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,
Yawe, oyokaka posa ya banyokolami, olendisaka bango, mpe oyokaka koganga na bango,
18 To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress — man of the earth!
mpo na kolongisa mwana etike mpe monyokolami; boye, bato ya mokili bakobangisa lisusu te.
