Psalms 6

1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. — A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda ya basinga mwambe. Yawe, kopesa ngai etumbu te na kanda na Yo, kopesa ngai etumbu te na kanda makasi na Yo.

2 Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

Yawe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazangi makasi. Yawe, bikisa ngai na bokono, pamba te mikuwa na ngai elembi.

3 And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

Molimo na ngai ezali kotungisama makasi; bongo Yo, Yawe, kino tango nini?

4 Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

Yawe, zongela ngai, mpe kokangola ngai, bikisa ngai, mpo na bolingo na Yo.

5 For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (Sheol h7585)

Pamba te bakufi bakoki lisusu te kotatola Kombo na Yo te! Mpe kati na mboka ya bakufi, nani akoki kokumisa Yo? (Sheol h7585)

6 I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

Kolela elembisi ngai nzoto. Butu nyonso, nalelaka na mbeto na ngai, mpe napolisaka na mpinzoli, esika oyo nalalaka.

7 Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

Miso na ngai ebebi mpo na mawa; ezali lisusu komona malamu te likolo ya banyokoli na ngai.

8 Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

Bino nyonso oyo bosalaka mabe, bolongwa liboso na ngai, pamba te Yawe ayoki kolela na ngai.

9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

Yawe ayanoli mabondeli na ngai mpe ayambi losambo na ngai.

10 Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!

Banguna na ngai nyonso bakoyoka soni, mpe somo monene ekokanga bango; bakozonga na sima mpe bakoyoka mbala moko soni.
