Psalms 50
1 A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods — Jehovah — hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in.
Nzembo ya Azafi. Nzambe ya banzambe, Yawe alobi, abengi mokili wuta na epai moyi ebimaka kino na epai elalaka.
2 From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone.
Wuta na Siona, mboka kitoko, Nzambe azali kongenga lokola moyi.
3 Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous.
Tika ete Nzambe na biso aya! Tika ete akanga monoko te! Liboso na Ye, moto makasi ezali kozikisa; mpe zingazinga na Ye, mopepe makasi ezali kopepa.
4 He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the earth, to judge His people.
Abengi Likolo, kuna na likolo, mpe mabele mpo na kokata makambo ya bato na Ye.
5 Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a sacrifice.
Alobi: « Bosangisela ngai bayengebene na ngai, ba-oyo basalaki Boyokani elongo na ngai na nzela ya mbeka. »
6 And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself [is] judge. (Selah)
Likolo ekopanza sango ya bosembo na Ye, pamba te azali Nzambe ya bosembo.
7 Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify against thee, God, thy God [am] I.
Bino bato na ngai, boyoka; nazali koloba na bino! Isalaele, nakoloba mpo na kotelemela yo: « Ngai Nzambe, nazali Nzambe na yo. »
8 Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually.
Nakopamela yo te na tina na bambeka na yo, pamba te bambeka na yo ya kotumba ezalaka tango nyonso liboso na ngai.
9 I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds he goats.
Nakozwa ngombe te kati na ndako na yo to ntaba mobali kati na etonga na yo ya bibwele,
10 For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the hills of oxen.
pamba te banyama nyonso ya zamba ezali ya ngai; ezala ata ebele ya banyama oyo ezali kati na bangomba, nyonso ezali ya ngai.
11 I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild beast of the field [is] with Me.
Nayebi bandeke nyonso ya bangomba; mpe banyama ya bilanga ezali ya ngai.
12 If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world and its fulness.
Soki nazalaki na nzala, nalingaki koyebisa yo te, pamba te mokili mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ezali ya ngai.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of he-goats?
Boni, okanisi penza ete ngai naliaka misuni ya bangombe to namelaka makila ya bantaba?
14 Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High thy vows.
Bonzelaka Nzambe matondi lokola mbeka, mpe kokisaka bandayi na yo epai ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo.
15 And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and thou honourest Me.
Mpe belela ngai na tango ya pasi; nakokangola yo, mpe okopesa ngai nkembo.
16 And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee — to recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy mouth?
Nzambe alobi na moto mabe: « Mpo na nini opanzaka sango ya mibeko na ngai mpe olobaka na tina na Boyokani na ngai?
17 Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words behind thee.
Nzokande oyinaka malako na ngai mpe oyokaka te maloba na ngai?
18 If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him, And with adulterers [is] thy portion.
Soki omoni moyibi, wana nde osepeli; mpe ovandaka esika moko na bato na bikobo.
19 Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue joineth deceit together,
Otikaka monoko na yo kosala mabe, lolemo na yo ebimisaka kaka lokuta.
20 Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a son of thy mother givest slander.
Ovandaka mpo na kotonga ndeko na yo, mpe obebisaka lokumu ya bana ya mama na yo.
21 These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before thine eyes.
Yango nde makambo oyo ozalaki kosala; mpe ngai nabatelaki kimia. Okanisi penza ete ngai nazali lokola yo? Nakopamela yo mpe nakotanda makambo nyonso oyo nazwa yo na miso na yo.
22 Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God, Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer.
Bino bato oyo bozali kobosana Nzambe, nabondeli bino: bososola makambo oyo; noki te nakobebisa bino, mpe moto moko te akokangola bino.
23 He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God!
Moto oyo abonzaka matondi lokola mbeka, apesaka ngai lokumu; mpe moto oyo asalaka keba na etamboli na ye, nakotalisa ye lobiko ya Nzambe. »
