Psalms 90
1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,
Losambo ya Moyize, moto na Nzambe. Oh Nkolo, ozalaki ekimelo na biso, na bikeke nyonso.
2 Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
Liboso ete bangomba ezala, liboso ete okela mabele mpe mokili, libela na libela, ozali Nzambe.
3 Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.
Ozongisaka moto na putulu, pamba te oloba: « Bino bato, bozonga na putulu! »
4 For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
Na miso na Yo, mibu nkoto moko ezali lokola mokolo ya lobi oyo esili koleka, lokola ngonga moko ya butu.
5 Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
Olekisaka yango lokola pongi ya butu, oyo na tongo, esilaka lokola lititi.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
Na tongo, ebimisaka fololo mpe etelaka noki; kasi na pokwa, enzulukaka mpe ekawuki.
7 For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
Kanda na Yo elembisaka biso nzoto, mpe kanda makasi na Yo epesaka biso bobangi.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
Otiaka masumu na biso liboso na Yo mpe obimisaka na polele makambo oyo tobombaka.
9 For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
Mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na biso elimwaka mpo na kanda na Yo, mpe mibu na biso esilaka lokola kolela.
10 Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
Molayi ya bomoi na biso ekoki kozala mibu tuku sambo to mibu tuku mwambe mpo na bato oyo baleki makasi; nzokande, etondi na pasi mpe na minyoko, pamba te elekaka noki, mpe tolimwaka.
11 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?
Nani ayebi makasi ya kanda na Yo? Moto oyo azalaka na botosi mingi epai na Yo asosolaka malamu kanda makasi na Yo.
12 To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
Lakisa biso kotanga malamu mikolo ya bomoi na biso mpo ete tokoma na mitema ya bwanya.
13 Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
Yawe, lembisa moke! Kino tango nini ekowumela? Yokela basali na Yo mawa!
14 Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
Tongo nyonso, tondisaka biso na bolingo na Yo mpe tokoganga na esengo, mpe tokosepela mikolo nyonso ya bomoi na biso.
15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
Zongisela biso na mikolo ya esengo, mikolo oyo onyokolaki biso; zongisela biso na mibu ya esengo, mibu oyo tomonaki pasi.
16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
Tika ete biso, basali na Yo, tomona misala na Yo; mpe ete bana na biso bamona kongenga makasi ya nkembo na Yo!
17 And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
Tika ete boboto ya Nkolo, Nzambe na biso, ezala elongo na biso! Mpo na biso, sala ete misala na biso ekende liboso! Iyo, sala ete misala na biso ekende kaka liboso!
