Psalms 36

1 To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,

Nzembo ya Davidi, mowumbu ya Yawe. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Kati na motema na ngai, nazali na sango kowuta na Nzambe na tina na bato mabe oyo batondi na masumu: Kotosa Nzambe ezali na tina ata moke te na miso na bango.

2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

Bamipesaka lokumu makasi, bandimaka te mpe bayinaka masumu na bango te.

3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently — to do good.

Minoko na bango ebimisaka maloba mabe mpe lokuta, baboyaka kosala na bokebi mpe kosala bolamu.

4 Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

Ezala na bambeto na bango, basalaka kaka mabongisi ya kosala mabe, batambolaka te mpo na kosala bolamu mpe baboyaka mabe te.

5 O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.

Yawe, bolingo na Yo ekenda kino na likolo, boyengebene na Yo kino na mapata.

6 Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

Bosembo na Yo ezali lokola bangomba ya Nzambe, mikano na Yo ezali mozindo lokola lubwaku ya molayi. Yawe, obikisaka bato mpe banyama.

7 How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

Oh Nzambe, tala ndenge nini bolingo na Yo ezali motuya! Bato bazwaka ebombamelo na elili ya mapapu na Yo.

8 They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

Baliaka mpe batondaka bilei ya Ndako na Yo, mpe omelisaka bango mayi kowuta na bolingo monene na Yo.

9 For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.

Pamba te etima ya bomoi ezali elongo na Yo; kati na pole na Yo nde tomonaka pole.

10 Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.

Koba kotalisa bolingo na Yo epai ya bato oyo bayebi Yo, mpe bosembo na Yo epai ya bato ya mitema alima.

11 Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.

Tika ete bato ya lolendo bakoma te kino epai na ngai, mpe tika ete bato mabe babengana ngai te.

12 There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!

Tala ndenge nini bato ya misala mabe bakweyi, balali na mabele, bazangi makoki ya kotelema.
