Psalms 55
1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And hide not from my supplication.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe, yoka libondeli na ngai, komibomba te wana nazali kobelela Yo.
2 Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my (meditation) and make a noise,
Yoka ngai mpe yanola ngai. Kati na kolela na ngai, nakomi koyengayenga mpe nazangi kimia,
3 Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.
mpo na maloba ya monguna na ngai mpe kanda ya moto mabe, pamba te bazali kokweyisela ngai misala mabe mpe konyokola ngai na kanda.
4 My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.
Motema na ngai etondi na mawa, mpe somo ya kufa ekangi ngai.
5 Fear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me.
Nakomi kobanga mpe kolenga, somo monene ekangi ngai.
6 And I say, 'Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,
Nakomi komilobela: « Soki nazalaki ata na mapapu ya ebenga, nalingaki kopumbwa mpo na koluka bopemi;
7 Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. (Selah)
nalingaki kokima mosika penza, mpo na kokende kovanda ata na esobe.
8 I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.
Solo, na lombangu penza, nalingaki kokende koluka ebombamelo mpo na kokima mopepe makasi mpe ekumbaki. »
9 Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.
Nkolo, bebisa mabongisi ya banguna na ngai mpe kotisa mobulu kati na bango; pamba te, kati na engumba, nazali komona mobulu mpe bokabwani.
10 By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst,
Butu mpe moyi, ezali kotambola na bamir na yango; misala mabe mpe ya kanza etondi kati na yango.
11 Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.
Banguya oyo ebebisaka ezali kosala kati na yango, minyoko mpe lokuta ezali kosila te.
12 For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear [it], He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.
Soki monguna nde azalaki kofinga ngai, nalingaki kokanga motema; soki ezalaki mpe moyini nde azalaki kotelemela ngai, nalingaki komibomba mpo ete amona ngai te.
13 But thou, a man — as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.
Kasi ezali yo, moto lokola ngai, oyo otambolaka elongo na ngai, molingami mpe moninga na ngai ya motema
14 When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.
oyo nazalaki kokabola elongo na yo, pasi mpe basekele tango tozalaki kokende nzela moko na Tempelo ya Nzambe.
15 Desolations [are] upon them, They go down [to] Sheol — alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, in their midst. (Sheol h7585)
Tika ete kufa ekanga bango na mbalakata mpe bakita ya bomoi kati na mboka ya bakufi; pamba te mabe etondi kati na bandako mpe mitema na bango. (Sheol h7585)
16 I — to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.
Mpo na ngai, nabelelaka Nzambe, mpe Yawe akobikisa ngai.
17 Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,
Tongo, midi, pokwa, nasopaka motema na ngai mpe nalelaka, mpe ayokaka mongongo na ngai.
18 He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.
Akopesa ngai kimia, akokangola ngai na bitumba oyo babundisaka ngai; pamba te bato oyo batelemeli ngai bazali ebele.
19 God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, and fear not God,
Nzambe ayokaka, akosambwisa bango penza; akonzaka mpo na libela na libela. Babongolaka mitema te mpe batosaka Nzambe te.
20 He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.
Abundisi balingami na ye, abebisi boyokani na ye.
21 Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart [is] war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they [are] drawn [swords].
Maloba ya monoko na ye ezalaka sukali, nzokande bitumba evandi kati na motema na ye; maloba na ye ezalaka ya kimia koleka mafuta, nzokande ezali mopanga oyo ezangi ebombelo.
22 Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.
Bwakela Yawe mokumba na yo, akosunga yo; akotika te ete moto ya sembo akweya mpo na libela.
23 And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I — I do trust in Thee!
Mpe Yo, Nzambe, okobwaka basopi makila mpe bakosi kati na libulu ya libebi; bakokokisa ata kati-kati te ya mikolo ya bomoi na bango. Kasi ngai, natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo.
