< Psalms 141 >

1 A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, nazali kobelela Yo; yaka noki epai na ngai! Yoka mongongo na ngai, wana nazali kobelela Yo!
2 My prayer is prepared — incense before Thee, The lifting up of my hands — the evening present.
Liboso na Yo, tika ete libondeli na ngai ezala lokola mbeka ya malasi, mpe botombwami ya maboko na ngai ezala lokola mbeka ya pokwa!
3 Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the door of my lips.
Yawe, kengela monoko na ngai, batela malamu ekuke ya bibebu na ngai!
4 Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat not of their pleasant things.
Kotindika motema na ngai te na mabe, mpo ete namipesa te na mobulu elongo na bato ya misala mabe mpe nalia bilei te elongo na bango.
5 The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness. And doth reprove me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my prayer [is] about their vexations.
Soki moto ya sembo abeti ngai, ezali elembo ya bolingo; soki apameli ngai, ezali mafuta na moto na ngai; moto na ngai ekoboya yango te. Kasi libondeli na ngai ekotelemelaka bato ya misala mabe.
6 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock, And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant.
Tika ete bilombe na bango babwakama na mabanga; na bongo, maloba na ngai ekoyokana, pamba te ezali kitoko.
7 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones been scattered at the command of Saul. (Sheol h7585)
Lokola tango babalolaka mpe batimolaka mabele, mikuwa na biso epanzani liboso ya mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
8 But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee I have trusted, Make not bare my soul.
Yawe, Nkolo na ngai, miso na ngai ebaluki mpo na kotala Yo; nazali kobombama kati na Yo, kotindika ngai na kufa te!
9 Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of workers of iniquity.
Batela ngai mpo ete nakangama te na motambo na bango mpe nakweya te na mabulu ya bato ya misala mabe.
10 The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over!
Tika ete bato mabe bakangama na mitambo na bango moko, mpe ete ngai naleka na kimia!
