Banzembo 139
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, omonaka mozindo ya bomoi na ngai mpe oyebi ngai malamu;
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 oyebi tango navandaka mpe tango natelemaka. Liboso na ngai kokanisa, ososolaka mabongisi na ngai;
You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar.
3 omonaka tango natambolaka mpe tango nalalaka, oyebi mozindo ya banzela na ngai nyonso.
You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways.
4 Pamba te, oh Yawe, liboso ete liloba ekoma na lolemo na ngai, omiyebelaka yango.
Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.
5 Ozali pene ngai, na liboso mpe na sima, mpe osimbi ngai na loboko na Yo.
You hem me in behind and before; You have laid Your hand upon me.
6 Solo, boyebi oyo ya kokamwa elekelaka ngai, ezali likolo makasi, nakoki kososola yango te.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Nakende wapi mpo na kokima Molimo na Yo? Nakima wapi mpo na kozala mosika na Yo?
Where can I go to escape Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?
8 Soki namati na likolo, ozali kuna; soki nakeyi na mboka ya bakufi, ozali lisusu kuna. (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, You are there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Soki nazwi mapapu ya lipekapeka mpo na kokende kovanda mosika ya ebale monene,
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle by the farthest sea,
10 kuna mpe loboko na Yo ekotambolisa ngai, loboko na Yo ya mobali ekosimba ngai makasi.
even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.
11 Soki nalobi: « Tembe te, molili ekobomba ngai penza; tika ete pole ekoma butu zingazinga na ngai! »
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me”—
12 Epai na Yo, butu ezalaka molili te, butu ezalaka na pole lokola moyi, pole mpe molili ezali ndenge moko.
even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.
13 Ezali Yo nde okelaki mozindo ya bomoto na ngai, obombaki ngai kati na libumu ya mama na ngai.
For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 Nasanzolaka Yo, pamba te osala ngai kitoko makasi. Misala na Yo ezali ya kokamwa; ngai, nayebi yango malamu.
I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.
15 Na miso na Yo, nzoto na ngai ezalaki ya kobombama te tango osalaki ngai na esika ebombama, tango otongaki ngai kati na mozindo ya mabele.
My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Tango nazalaki nanu na lolenge te, ozalaki komona ngai; mpe omikomelaki kati na buku na Yo mikolo nyonso oyo obongisaki mpo na bomoi na ngai liboso ete moko te kati na yango ezala.
Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.
17 Oh Nzambe, tala ndenge ezali pasi mpo na ngai kososola makanisi na Yo! Tala ndenge motango na yango ezali ebele!
How precious to me are Your thoughts, O God, how vast is their sum!
18 Nameki kotanga yango, ezali ebele koleka motango ya bambuma ya zelo. Nalamuki, nazali kaka elongo na Yo.
If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand; and when I awake, I am still with You.
19 Oh Nzambe, soki kaka ozalaki na Yo koboma moto mabe! Bino basopi makila ya bato, bokende mosika na ngai!
O God, that You would slay the wicked— away from me, you bloodthirsty men—
20 Bayini na Yo basalelaka Kombo na Yo mpo na kosala mabongisi ya mabe, batangaka Kombo na Yo mpo na kokosa.
who speak of You deceitfully; Your enemies take Your name in vain.
21 Yawe, ndenge nini nayina te banguna na Yo, ndenge nini nayoka batelemeli na Yo nkele te?
Do I not hate those who hate You, O LORD, and detest those who rise against You?
22 Nayinaka bango makasi; nazwaka bango lokola banguna na ngai.
I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them as my enemies.
23 Oh Nzambe, kundola mpe yeba mozindo ya motema na ngai, meka ngai mpe yeba makambo oyo ezali kotungisa ngai!
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my concerns.
24 Tala soki nazali kotambola na nzela mabe mpe tambolisa ngai na nzela ya tango nyonso!
See if there is any offensive way in me; lead me in the way everlasting.
