Banzembo 37
1 Nzembo ya Davidi. Kosilikela bato ya mabe te, kosalela bato oyo basalaka mabe zuwa te;
A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness.
2 pamba te bakokawuka noki lokola makasa, mpe bakolemba noki lokola matiti.
For they shall soon wither like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
3 Tia elikya na yo kati na Yawe mpe sala bolamu, vanda kati na mokili mpe lia na kimia.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and cherish faithfulness.
4 Komisa Yawe bilengi na yo ya makasi, mpe akokokisela yo posa ya motema na yo.
So shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and He shall give thee the petitions of thy heart.
5 Kaba bomoi na yo epai na Yawe, tia elikya kati na Ye, mpe akosala:
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in Him, and He will bring it to pass.
6 akongengisa bosembo na yo lokola pole, makoki na yo lokola moyi ya midi.
And He will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, and thy right as the noonday.
7 Batela kimia liboso ya Yawe mpe talela Ye; kosilikela te moto oyo alongaka na misala na ye, mpe oyo asalaka mabongisi ya mabe.
Resign thyself unto the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Boya kanda mpe kosilika te; kotomboka te, noki te okosala mabe.
Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing.
9 Pamba te bato oyo basalaka mabe bakolimwa, kasi bato oyo batielaka Yawe motema bakozwa mokili lokola libula na bango.
For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait for the LORD, they shall inherit the land.
10 Etikali tango moke kaka, moto mabe akozala lisusu te; ata oluki ye, okomona ye te.
And yet a little while, and the wicked is no more; yea, thou shalt look well at his place, and he is not.
11 Kasi bato oyo bamikitisa bakozwa mokili lokola libula na bango mpe bakozala na kimia makasi.
But the humble shall inherit the land, and delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
12 Bato mabe basalelaka bato ya sembo makita mpe baliaka minu mpo na kotelemela bango.
The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth at him with his teeth.
13 Kasi Yawe asekaka bato mabe, pamba te ayebi ete mokolo na bango ezali kobelema.
The Lord doth laugh at him; for He seeth that his day is coming.
14 Bato mabe babimisi mipanga mpe babongisi batolotolo mpo na kokweyisa mobola mpe moto oyo akelela, mpo na koboma bato oyo batambolaka alima.
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow; to cast down the poor and needy, to slay such as are upright in the way;
15 Kasi mipanga na bango ekotobola mitema na bango moko, mpe batolotolo na bango ekobukana.
Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
16 Mwa biloko ya moto ya sembo eleki bozwi ya bato ebele ya mabe,
Better is a little that the righteous hath than the abundance of many wicked.
17 pamba te nguya ya bato mabe ekosila, kasi Yawe alendisaka bato ya sembo.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
18 Yawe ayebi mikolo ya bato bazangi pamela, mpe libula na bango ekowumela mpo na seko.
The LORD knoweth the days of them that are wholehearted; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Na tango ya pasi, bakokawuka te; na mikolo ya nzala, bakozala na bilei ebele.
They shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 Kasi bato mabe bakokufa, banguna ya Yawe bazali lokola fololo ya elanga, bakolimwa lokola molinga.
For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs — they shall pass away in smoke, they shall pass away.
21 Moto mabe adefaka mpe azongisaka te, kasi moto ya sembo ayokaka mawa mpe akabaka.
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not; but the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth.
22 Bato oyo Yawe apambolaka bakozwa mokili lokola libula na bango, kasi ba-oyo alakelaka mabe bakolimwa.
For such as are blessed of Him shall inherit the land; and they that are cursed of Him shall be cut off.
23 Soki Yawe asepeli na etamboli ya moto, alendisaka bomoi na ye;
It is of the LORD that a man's goings are established; and He delighted in his way.
24 ezala akweyi, akotikala kaka ya kokweya te; pamba te Yawe asimbaka ye na loboko.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the LORD upholdeth his hand.
25 Nazalaki elenge, mpe sik’oyo nakomi mobange, namoni nanu te moto ya sembo kosundolama to bana na ye kokoma kosenga-senga bilei.
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 Akabaka tango nyonso mpe adefisaka, bana na ye bakozalaka kati na mapamboli.
All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.
27 Zala mosika na mabe mpe sala bolamu, okovanda na mokili mpo na libela;
Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
28 pamba te Yawe alingaka bosembo, mpe asundolaka te bayengebene na Ye. Babatelamaka mpo na seko, kasi bana ya bato mabe bakolimwa.
For the LORD loveth justice, and forsaketh not His saints; they are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 Bato ya sembo bakozwa mokili lokola libula na bango mpe bakovanda kuna seko na seko.
The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 Monoko ya moto ya sembo ebimisaka bwanya, mpe lolemo na ye elobaka kolanda bosembo.
The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice.
31 Mobeko ya Nzambe na ye ezali kati na motema na ye, makolo na ye ebetaka libaku te.
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps slide.
32 Moto mabe atalaka moto ya sembo na miso mabe mpe alukaka nzela ya koboma ye,
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
33 kasi Yawe akosundola moto ya sembo te kati na maboko ya moto mabe, mpe akokweyisa ye te na kosambisama.
The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor suffer him to be condemned when he is judged.
34 Zala na elikya kati na Yawe mpe batela nzela na Ye; akonetola Yo mpo ete ozwa mboka lokola libula na yo, mpe okomona tango bato mabe bakolimwa.
Wait for the LORD, and keep His way, and He will exalt thee to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.
35 Namonaki moto mabe mpe na kanza kokoma na nguya mpe kofuluka lokola nzete oyo ezali kokola na mabele na yango,
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a leafy tree in its native soil.
36 kasi alekaki noki mpe azalaki lisusu te; nalukaki ye, kasi namonaki ye lisusu te.
But one passed by, and, lo, he was not; yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Tala malamu moto oyo azangi pamela, landela bomoi ya moto ya sembo; tango oyo ezali koya ezali kozela moto ya kimia.
Mark the man of integrity, and behold the upright; for there is a future for the man of peace.
38 Kasi batomboki bakobebisama, tango oyo ezali koya ezali te mpo na bato mabe.
But transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
39 Lobiko ya bato ya sembo ewutaka epai ya Yawe oyo, na tango ya pasi, azali ndako na bango, oyo batonga makasi.
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
40 Yawe asungaka mpe akangolaka bango, akangolaka bango wuta na maboko ya bato mabe mpe abikisaka bango, pamba te babombamaka kati na Ye.
And the LORD helpeth them, and delivereth them; He delivereth them from the wicked, and saveth them, because they have taken refuge in Him.
