Psalms 32
1 By David. — An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Esengo na moto oyo mabe na ye elimbisami, mpe masumu na ye elongwe!
2 O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Esengo na moto oyo Yawe atangelaka lisumu te, mpe atambolaka na lokuta te.
3 When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through my roaring all the day.
Lokola nazalaki kondima mabe na ngai te, nazalaki tango nyonso kolela mpo na pasi.
4 When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. (Selah)
Butu mpe moyi, loboko na Yo ezalaki kofinafina ngai; makasi na ngai ekomaki kosila ndenge makasa ekawukaka na eleko ya moyi.
5 My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not covered. I have said, 'I confess concerning My transgressions to Jehovah,' And Thou — Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of my sin. (Selah)
Tango nandimaki masumu na ngai mpe nabombaki mabe na ngai te, nalobaki: « Nakotubela masumu na ngai liboso ya Yawe. » Bongo Yo olimbisaki mabe mpe masumu na ngai.
6 For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they come not.
Boye, tika ete bayengebene nyonso basambelaka Yo na tango ya malamu! Soki mayi minene etomboki, bambonge na yango ekozwa bango te.
7 Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. (Selah)
Ozali ebombamelo na ngai; obatelaka ngai mpo ete pasi ekanga ngai te mpe ozingelaka ngai na banzembo ya kokangolama.
8 I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee.
Olobaki: « Nakopesa yo malako mpe nakolakisa yo nzela ya kolanda; nakopesa yo toli mpe nakosenzela yo.
9 Be ye not as a horse — as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.
Kozala te lokola mpunda to lokola mile ezanga bososoli, oyo bakangaka nguya na yango na nzela ya ebende mpe ya singa oyo batiaka na minoko na yango mpo na kopekisa yango kopusana pene na yo. »
10 Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him.
Bato mabe bazali na pasi mingi, kasi bolamu ya Yawe ezingelaka bato oyo batiaka elikya na Yawe.
11 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing, all ye upright of heart!
Bino bato ya sembo, bosepela kati na Yawe, bozala na esengo! Bino nyonso oyo bozali na mitema alima, bobeta milolo ya esengo.
