Psalms 41
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah deliver him.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Esengo na moto oyo akanisaka mobola! Yawe akokangola ye na tango ya pasi.
2 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies.
Yawe akokengela ye mpe akobatela bomoi na ye, akokomisa ye moto ya esengo kati na mokili mpe akokaba ye te na maboko ya banguna na ye.
3 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
Yawe akosunga ye na mbeto na ye soki abeli mpe akobikisa ye na bokono na ye nyonso.
4 I — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'
Nalobaki: « Oh Yawe, yokela ngai mawa; bikisa ngai na bokono, pamba te nasalaki masumu epai na Yo. »
5 Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!
Banguna na ngai balobaka mabe na tina na ngai: « Akokufa mokolo nini mpo ete kombo na ye etangama lisusu te? »
6 And if he came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
Kati na bango, moto nyonso oyo ayaka kotala ngai alobaka kaka lokuta mpo na kobebisa lokumu na ngai, akangisaka kati na ye makambo ya lokuta mpe, soki kaka abimi libanda, apanzaka yango na matongi.
7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
Banguna na ngai basanganaka kaka mpo na kotonga ngai mpe kokanisa mpo na libebi na ngai.
8 A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.
Balobaka: « Pasi moko ya somo penza ekangi ye, ebwaki ye na mbeto mpe azali kokoka lisusu kotelema te. »
9 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
Ezala molingami na ngai ya kimia, oyo nazalaki kotiela motema mpe azalaki kolia sani moko elongo na ngai, abalukeli ngai.
10 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
Kasi Yo, Yawe, yokela ngai mawa mpe telemisa ngai mpo ete nazongisela bango mabe na mabe.
11 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
Nakoyeba ete osepelaka na ngai soki kaka monguna na ngai agangi te na tina na ngai.
12 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
Mpo ete nazangi pamela, okosunga ngai mpe okovandisa ngai na makolo na Yo mpo na libela.
13 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, akumisama libela na libela!
