2 Samuele 22
1 Davidi ayembelaki Yawe nzembo na maloba oyo, tango Yawe akangolaki ye wuta na maboko ya banguna na ye nyonso mpe na loboko ya Saulo.
And David speaks the words of this song to YHWH in the day YHWH has delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
2 Alobaki: Yawe azali libanga na ngai, ndako na ngai ya makasi mpe mokangoli na ngai;
and he says: “YHWH [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
3 azali Nzambe na ngai, libanga na ngai mpe ebombamelo na ngai; azali nguba na ngai, nguya oyo ebikisaka ngai, ekimelo na ngai, mpe Mobikisi na ngai. Okangolaka ngai wuta na maboko ya bato mabe.
My God [is] my rock—I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Savior, You save me from violence!
4 Nabelelaki Yawe oyo abongi na lokumu, mpe nakangolamaki wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
I call on YHWH, [who is worthy] to be praised: And I am saved from my enemies.
5 Mbonge ya kufa efinaki ngai, mpela ya libebi epesaki ngai somo,
When the breakers of death surrounded me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, The snares of death have been before me. (Sheol h7585)
7 Kati na pasi na ngai, nabelelaki Yawe, nagangaki epai ya Nzambe na ngai mpo ete asunga ngai. Yawe ayokaki mongongo na ngai wuta na Tempelo na Ye, koganga na ngai mpo na kosenga lisungi ekomaki kino na matoyi na Ye.
In my adversity I call on YHWH, And I call to my God, And He hears my voice from His temple, And my cry [is] in His ears,
8 Mabele ekomaki koningana makasi, miboko ya Lola elengaki mpe ebukanaki, pamba te Yawe asilikaki.
And the earth shakes and trembles, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He has wrath!
9 Milinga ekomaki kobima na zolo na Ye, moto makasi elongo na makala ya moto ekomaki kobima na monoko na Ye.
Smoke has gone up by His nostrils, And fire devours from His mouth; Brands have been kindled by it.
10 Afungolaki Lola mpe akitaki, mapata ya mwindo ezalaki na se ya matambe na Ye.
And He inclines the heavens and comes down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
11 Amataki na likolo ya Sheribe mpe apumbwaki, apepaki na mapapu ya mopepe.
And He rides on a cherub and flies, And is seen on the wings of the wind.
12 Akomisaki molili oyo ezingelaki Ye mpe mapata ya mwindo ya likolo, Ndako na Ye.
And He sets darkness around Him [for His] dwelling places, Darkness of waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
13 Kongenga oyo ezalaki liboso na Ye ezalaki kobimisa makala ya moto.
From the brightness before Him Brands of fire were kindled!
14 Yawe agangaki wuta na Lola, mongongo ya Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo eyokanaki.
YHWH thunders from the heavens, And the Most High gives forth His voice.
15 Abwakaki makonga na Ye, mpe atindaki yango na bangambo nyonso; abakisaki motango ya mikalikali mpo na kopalanganisa yango.
And He sends forth arrows, and scatters them; Lightning, and troubles them;
16 Na koganga ya Yawe mpe na pema ya zolo na Ye, nzela oyo mayi ya ebale elekelaka ebimaki, mpe miboko ya mokili emonanaki na libanda.
And the streams of the sea are seen, [The] foundations of the world are revealed, By the rebuke of YHWH, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.
17 Atandaki loboko na Ye wuta na likolo, akamataki ngai mpe abimisaki ngai na likama oyo nazalaki na yango kati na mayi ya mozindo makasi.
He sends from above—He takes me, He draws me out of many waters.
18 Akangolaki ngai wuta na maboko ya monguna na ngai ya nguya mpe ya bayini na ngai, pamba te balekaki ngai na makasi.
He delivers me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than me.
19 Babundisaki ngai na mokolo oyo pasi ezalaki kokanga ngai, kasi Yawe azalaki eyekamelo na ngai.
They are before me in a day of my calamity, And YHWH is my support,
20 Abimisaki ngai mpo na kokomisa ngai nsomi, akangolaki ngai, pamba te alingaka ngai.
And He brings me out to a large place, He draws me out for He delighted in me.
21 Yawe asalelaki ngai makambo wana kolanda bosembo na ngai, afutaki ngai kolanda bopeto ya maboko na ngai.
YHWH repays me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He returns to me.
22 Pamba te nabateli banzela ya Yawe, napesi Nzambe na ngai mokongo te lokola bato mabe.
For I have kept the ways of YHWH, And have not done wickedly against my God.
23 Natosaka mibeko na Ye nyonso mpe nabatelaka bikateli na Ye.
For all His judgments [are] before me, As for His statutes, I do not turn from them.
24 Epai na Ye, nazalaki moto oyo azangi pamela mpe namibatelaki mpo ete nasala masumu te.
And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from my iniquity.
25 Yawe afuti ngai kolanda bosembo na ngai, kolanda bopeto na ngai na miso na Ye.
And YHWH returns to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
26 Solo, otalisaka bosembo na Yo epai ya moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo, mpe bolamu na Yo, epai ya moto oyo azangi pamela.
With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the perfect man You show Yourself perfect,
27 Otalisaka bopeto na Yo epai ya moto ya peto, kasi omibombaka liboso ya moto oyo atambolaka nyoka-nyoka.
With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverse You show Yourself a wrestler.
28 Obikisaka banyokolami, otalaka mpe okitisaka bato na lofundu.
And You save the poor people, But Your eyes on the high cause [them] to fall.
29 Oh Yawe, ozali mwinda na ngai; obongolaka molili na ngai pole.
For You [are] my lamp, O YHWH, And YHWH lightens my darkness.
30 Elongo na Yo, nabundisaka mampinga oyo elati bibundeli; mpe na lisungi ya Nzambe na ngai, nakatisaka bamir.
For by You I run [against] a troop, By my God I leap a wall.
31 Nzela ya Nzambe ezali ya kokoka, Liloba na Yawe ezali na mbeba te; azali nguba mpo na bato nyonso oyo bazwaka Ye lokola ebombamelo na bango.
God—His way [is] perfect, The saying of YHWH is tried, He [is] a shield to all those trusting in Him.
32 Nani azali Nzambe soki Yawe te? Nani azali libanga soki Nzambe na biso te?
For who is God except YHWH? And who [is the] Rock except our God?
33 Ezali Nzambe nde azali ndako na ngai ya makasi, abatelaka nzela na ngai mpe akomisaka yango polele liboso na ngai;
God—my bulwark, [my] strength, And He makes my way perfect;
34 akomisaka makolo na ngai lokola ya mboloko mpe avandisaka ngai na bisika ya likolo;
Making my feet like does, And causes me to stand on my high places,
35 alakisaka ngai kobunda, mpe maboko na ngai ekoki kobenda tolotolo ya bronze.
Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of bronze was brought down by my arms,
36 Okomisaka lobiko na Yo nguba na ngai, mpe lisungi na Yo ekomisaka ngai makasi.
And You give the shield of Your salvation to me, And Your lowliness makes me great.
37 Otambolisaka ngai na kimia, mpe makolo na ngai elengaka te.
You enlarge my step under me, And my ankles have not slipped.
38 Nalandaka banguna na ngai mpe nabomaka bango, nazongaka kaka soki nasilisi koboma bango.
I pursue my enemies and destroy them, And I do not turn until they are consumed.
39 Nabebisaka bango nye, mpe bakokaka lisusu kotelema te; bakweyaka na se ya matambe na ngai.
And I consume them, and strike them, And they do not rise, and fall under my feet.
40 Opesaka ngai makasi ya bitumba, ogumbaka banguna na ngai mpe otiaka bango na se ya matambe na ngai.
And You gird me [with] strength for battle, You cause my withstanders to bow under me.
41 Okimisaka banguna na ngai mosika na ngai, mpe nabebisaka bayini na ngai.
And my enemies—You give to me the neck, Those hating me—and I cut them off.
42 Bagangaka mpo na koluka lisungi, kasi moto oyo akokaki kobikisa bango azalaka te; babelelaka Yawe, kasi ayanolaka bango te.
They look, and there is no savior; To YHWH, and He has not answered them.
43 Nanikaka bango lokola putulu ya mabele, nafinaka bango, nanyataka bango lokola potopoto ya nzela.
And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small—I spread them out!
44 Olongisaka ngai na bitumba ya bato, obatelaka ngai mpo ete nazala mokambi ya bikolo. Bato oyo nayebaki te bakomi kosalela ngai.
And You deliver me From the strivings of my people, You place me for a head of nations; A people I have not known serve me.
45 Bapaya bazali koya mpo ete nasepela na bango; soki kaka bayoki ngai, batosaka ngai.
Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they listen to me.
46 Bango nyonso balembi nzoto mpe bakomi kobima na kolenga wuta na bandako na bango ya makasi.
Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
47 Longonya na Yawe! Tika ete Ye oyo azali libanga na ngai akumisama! Tika ete Nzambe, libanga ya lobiko na ngai, anetolama!
YHWH lives, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God—The Rock of my salvation.
48 Azali Nzambe oyo abundelaka ngai, oyo atiaka bikolo na se ya matambe na ngai,
God—who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,
49 akangolaka ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai. Olongisaka ngai liboso ya banguna na ngai, obikisaka ngai na maboko ya banguna na ngai.
And bringing me forth from my enemies, Indeed, You raise me up above my withstanders. You deliver me from a man of violence.
50 Yango wana, nakosanzola Yo, Yawe, kati na bikolo, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
Therefore I confess You, O YHWH, among nations, And I sing praise to Your Name.
51 Yawe apesaka elonga monene epai ya mokonzi na Ye, atalisaka bolingo na Ye epai ya mopakolami na Ye, epai ya Davidi mpe libota na ye mpo na libela.
Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed—for all time!”
