Banzembo 31
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eh Yawe, kati na Yo nde nazwa ebombamelo; kondima te ete nayoka soni! Bikisa ngai na bosembo na Yo!
For the chief musician. A psalm of David. In you, Yahweh, I take refuge; never let me be humiliated. Rescue me in your righteousness.
2 Yoka ngai mpe kangola ngai noki! Zala mpo na ngai libanga oyo ezingelami na bamir mpe ndako batonga makasi mpo na kobikisa ngai.
Listen to me; rescue me quickly; be my rock of refuge, a stronghold to save me.
3 Mpo ete ozali libanga na ngai mpe ndako na ngai ya makasi, kamba mpe tambolisa ngai mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name's sake, lead and guide me.
4 Bikisa ngai na motambo oyo batieli ngai, pamba te ozali ebombamelo na ngai.
Pluck me out of the net that they have hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
5 Nazongisi molimo na ngai kati na maboko na Yo, Yawe, Nzambe ya solo, oyo okangolaki ngai.
Into your hands I entrust my spirit; you will redeem me, Yahweh, God of trustworthiness.
6 Nalingaka te bato nyonso oyo bakangamaka na banzambe ya bikeko, pamba te natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yawe.
I hate those who serve worthless idols, but I trust in Yahweh.
7 Nakozalaka moto ya esengo mpe nakosepelaka kati na bolingo na Yo; pamba te omonaka pasi na ngai, mpe oyebi mitungisi na ngai.
I will be glad and rejoice in your covenant faithfulness, for you saw my affliction; you knew the distress of my soul.
8 Okabaki ngai te na maboko ya monguna na ngai, kasi obombaka ngai mosika, na esika ya kimia penza.
You have not given me into the hand of my enemy. You have set my feet in a wide open place.
9 Yawe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazali kati na pasi; miso, motema mpe nzoto na ngai mobimba ebebi mpo na mawa.
Have mercy upon me, Yahweh, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weary with grief with my soul and my body.
10 Bomoi na ngai ekawuki mpo na pasi, mpe mibu na ngai ezali koleka kati na kolela; makasi na ngai esili mpo na mabe na ngai, mpe mikuwa na ngai elembi.
For my life is weary with sorrow and my years with groaning. My strength fails because of my sin, and my bones are wasting away.
11 Banguna na ngai nyonso bakomi kozwa ngai lokola eloko ya lisuma, baninga na ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola eloko ya soni, mpe bato oyo bayebi ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola eloko ya somo.
Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled at my situation, and those who know me are horrified. Those who see me in the street run from me.
12 Babosani ngai lokola moto oyo asila kokufa; nakomi lokola mbeki oyo epanzana.
I am forgotten as a dead man whom no one thinks about. I am like a broken pot.
13 Nayokaka matongi na bango na tina na ngai tango basanganaka mpe basalaka makita mpo na koluka ndenge nini koboma ngai.
For I have heard the whispering of many, terrifying news from every side as they plot together against me. They plot to take away my life.
14 Kasi ngai, natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo, Yawe, mpe nalobaka: « Ozali Nzambe na ngai. »
But I trust in you, Yahweh; I say, “You are my God.”
15 Mikolo ya bomoi na ngai ezali kati na maboko na Yo; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna mpe ya bayini na ngai.
My times are in your hand. Rescue me from the hands of my enemies and from those who pursue me.
16 Tala ngai mosali na Yo, na miso ya bolingo; bikisa ngai kati na bolingo na Yo.
Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your covenant faithfulness.
17 Yawe, sala ete nayokisama soni te, pamba te nabeleli Yo. Kasi tika ete bato mabe nde bayoka soni mpe bakita kino na mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
Do not let me be humiliated, Yahweh; for I call out to you! May the wicked be humiliated! May they be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Tika ete ekangama, bibebu oyo elobaka lokuta, oyo elobaka na lolendo mpe na lofundu, oyo ebebisaka lokumu ya moto ya sembo na nzela ya songisongi.
May lying lips be silenced that speak against the righteous defiantly with arrogance and contempt.
19 Boboto na Yo ezali penza monene, boboto oyo obombaka mpo na bato oyo batosaka Yo, boboto oyo otalisaka epai ya bato oyo bazwaka Yo lokola ebombamelo na bango, na miso ya bato nyonso.
How great is your goodness that you have stored up for those who revere you, that you perform for those who take refuge in you before all the children of mankind!
20 Obombaka bango epai na Yo, mosika ya mabongisi mabe ya bato; obatelaka bango kati na Yo, mosika ya bato oyo babundisaka bango.
In the shelter of your presence, you hide them from the plots of men. You hide them in a shelter from the violence of tongues.
21 Tika ete Yawe akumisama, pamba te atalisaki ngai bolingo na Ye ya kokamwa, tango nazalaki kati na engumba oyo ezingelamaki na banguna!
Blessed be Yahweh, for he showed me his marvelous covenant faithfulness when I was in a besieged city.
22 Kati na kobanga na ngai, namilobelaki: « Obengani ngai penza mosika na Yo! » Nzokande oyokaki ngai wana nazalaki kobondela Yo mpe wana nazalaki kobelela Yo.
Though I said in my haste, “I am cut off from your eyes,” yet you heard my plea for help when I cried to you.
23 Bino babulami na Ye nyonso, bolinga Yawe! Yawe abatelaka bato ya sembo epai na Ye, kasi apesaka etumbu ya makasi epai ya bato ya lofundu.
Oh, love Yahweh, all you faithful followers. Yahweh protects the faithful, but he pays back the arrogant in full.
24 Bino nyonso oyo botalelaka Yawe, bozala makasi mpe boyika mpiko.
Be strong and confident, all you who trust in Yahweh for help.
