Psalms 35
1 By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, kota likambo na ngai liboso ya bayini na ngai; bundisa bato oyo bazali kobundisa ngai.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
Kamata nguba ya moke mpe ya monene, mpe telema mpo na kosunga ngai.
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I [am].'
Tombola likonga ya monene mpe ya moke mpo na kobundisa bato oyo bazali kolanda ngai. Loba na ngai: « Nazali lobiko na Yo. »
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
Tika ete bato oyo bazali komeka bomoi na ngai basambwa mpe bayoka soni; tika ete bato oyo bazali kokana kosala ngai mabe bazonga sima mpe bakoma mawa-mawa!
5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
Tika ete bakoma lokola matiti ya kokawuka oyo mopepe ezali kopumbwisa, tango anjelu ya Yawe akotindika bango;
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
tika ete nzela na bango ekoma molili mpe moselu tango anjelu ya Yawe akobengana bango.
7 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
Mpo ete, na kozanga tina, mpo na kokanga ngai, batielaki ngai mitambo mpe batimolaki mabulu,
8 Meet him doth desolation — he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
tika ete libebi ekweyela bango na mbalakata, bakangama bango moko na mitambo oyo batielaki ngai mpe bakweya kati na mabulu yango!
9 And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
Nakotonda na esengo kati na Yawe mpe nakosepela kati na lobiko na Ye.
10 All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
Mikuwa na ngai nyonso ekoloba: « Oh Yawe, nani akoki kokangola, lokola Yo, mobola wuta na maboko ya moto oyo aleki ye na makasi, mobola mpe mokeleli wuta na maboko ya banyokoli na bango? »
11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
Batatoli oyo bamipesa na kanza batelemi, bazali kopesa ngai mituna na tina na makambo oyo nayebi te.
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
Bazali kozongisela ngai mabe mpo na bolamu oyo nasalaki, mpe kosundola ngai lokola monyokolami.
13 And I — in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
Nzokande tango bango babelaki, ngai nalataki saki, namikitisaki na kokila bilei, nazalaki kobondela mpo na bango.
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
Nazalaki kotambola na mawa lokola mpo na moninga to mpo na ndeko; nazalaki kokitisa moto na se mpo na mawa lokola moto oyo azali kolela mama na ye.
15 And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
Kasi awa ngai nakomi na pasi, bango bazali kosepela mpe kosangana; wana ngai nayebi te, bango bazali kosangana mpo na kotonga ngai, bazali kolemba te kofinga ngai.
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
Lokola bapagano, bazali koseka ngai, bazali kolia minu na tina na ngai.
17 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
Yawe, kino tango nini okotala kaka boye? Kangola ngai wuta na misala na bango ya mabe, bomoi na ngai wuta na manzaka ya bankosi oyo.
18 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
Nakokumisa Yo kati na mayangani monene, nakosanzola Yo kati na ebele ya bato.
19 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
Tika ete banguna na ngai basepela te na tina na ngai; tika ete bayini na ngai na kozanga tina bakanga miso te.
20 For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
Pamba te balobaka te maloba ya kimia, kasi babongisaka lokuta mpo na kokosela bato ya kimia makambo kati na mboka.
21 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
Balobaka na mongongo makasi: « Eh! Eh! Tomonaki ye! »
22 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord — be not far from me,
Yawe, omoni nyonso wana; kovanda nye te! Nkolo, kozala mosika na ngai te!
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
Lamuka mpe telema mpo na kolongisa ngai! Nzambe na ngai mpe Nkolo na ngai, kota likambo na ngai.
24 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, longisa ngai na bosembo na Yo; kotika bango te kosepela na tina na ngai.
25 They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'
Tika ete bamilobela te: « Ah! Tala makambo oyo tozalaki koluka! » Tika ete baloba te: « Tolie ye. »
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
Tika ete bato nyonso oyo basepelaka na pasi na ngai, bango nyonso lisanga, bayoka soni mpe basambwa! Tika ete bato oyo batombokelaka ngai balata soni mpe bazala kati na yikiyiki!
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'
Tika ete bato oyo basepelaka na bosembo na ngai baganga na esengo mpe basepela; tika ete balobaka tango nyonso: « Tika ete Yawe anetolama, Ye oyo asepelaka na kimia ya mowumbu na Ye! »
28 And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
Nakosakola bosembo na Yo, nakokumisa Yo mikolo nyonso.
