Banzembo 69
1 Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi: ezali ya koyemba lokola « lisi. » Nzambe, bikisa ngai, pamba te mayi ekomi na kingo na ngai.
TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” BY DAVID. Save me, O God, for waters have come to the soul.
2 Nazali kozinda na potopoto, na mozindo makasi epai wapi eloko ya kosimba ezali te; nakiti na mozindo ya mayi, mbonge ememi ngai.
I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood has overflown me.
3 Nalembi nzoto likolo ya kobelela lisungi; mongongo na ngai ekawuki, miso na ngai elembi mpo na kotalela Nzambe na ngai.
I have been wearied with my calling, My throat has been burned, My eyes have been consumed, waiting for my God.
4 Bato oyo bayinaka ngai na kozanga tina bazali ebele koleka motango ya suki ya moto na ngai; ba-oyo balukaka kobebisa bomoi na ngai, oyo bazali banguna na ngai kaka pamba, bazali bato na nguya; bazali kosenga ngai na makasi ete nazongisa eloko oyo nayibaki te.
Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I did not take away—I bring back.
5 Nzambe, oyebi bozoba na ngai, mpe mabe na ngai ezali ya kobombama te na miso na Yo.
O God, You have known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations have not been hid from You.
6 Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, tika ete ba-oyo batiaka elikya kati na Yo basila lokumu te likolo na ngai! Nzambe ya Isalaele, tika ete bato oyo balukaka Yo bayokisama soni te likolo na ngai!
Do not let those waiting on You be ashamed because of me, O Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Do not let those seeking You Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Pamba te nandimi kofingama mpo na Yo, mpe soni ezipi ngai elongi.
For because of You I have borne reproach, Shame has covered my face.
8 Bandeko na ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola moto oyo bayebi te, nakomi lokola mopaya na miso ya bana ya mama na ngai.
I have been a stranger to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
9 Pamba te bolingo oyo nazali na yango mpo na ndako na Yo ezali kozikisa ngai, mpe mafinga ya bato oyo bafingaka Yo ezali kokweya na moto na ngai.
For [my] zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of Your reproachers Have fallen on me.
10 Soki naleli mpe nakili bilei, nasengeli kaka kofingama;
And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
11 soki nalati saki, bato basalaka masapo mpo na kotiola ngai.
And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am for an allegory to them.
12 Bato oyo bavandi na ekuke batiolaka ngai, balangwi masanga bayembaka kombo na ngai kati na banzembo na bango.
Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
13 Yawe, nabondeli Yo! Nzambe, tango ekoki, tango ya kotalisa ngai bolingo monene na Yo! Yanola ngai na nzela ya boyengebene mpe lobiko na Yo!
And my prayer [is] to You, O YHWH, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Your kindness, Answer me in the truth of Your salvation.
14 Bimisa ngai na potopoto, sala ete nazinda lisusu te, nakangolama wuta na maboko ya bayini na ngai mpe nabima na mayi ya mozindo!
Deliver me from the mire, and do not let me sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
15 Tika ete mbonge ya mayi emema ngai lisusu te, mozindo emela lisusu ngai te, mpe libulu ekangamela ngai te!
Do not let a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth on me.
16 Yawe, yanola ngai, pamba te bolingo na Yo ezali malamu; baluka epai na ngai, na mawa monene na Yo.
Answer me, O YHWH, for Your kindness [is] good, Turn to me according to the abundance of Your mercies,
17 Kobombela lisusu mosali na Yo te elongi na Yo. Yanola ngai noki, pamba te nazali na pasi.
And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress—hurry, answer me.
18 Pusana pene na ngai, mpe sikola ngai; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bayini na ngai.
Be near to my soul—redeem it, Ransom me because of my enemies.
19 Oyebi ndenge nini nazali kofingama, oyebi soni mpe kosambwa na ngai; banguna na ngai nyonso bazali liboso na Yo.
You have known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, All my adversaries [are] before You.
20 Mafinga ezokisi motema na ngai, mpe pota yango ezali kosila te; nazelaki elembo ya mawa kowuta na bato, kasi namonaki yango te; nalukaki babondisi, kasi namonaki bango te.
Reproach has broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
21 Batiaki ngenge kati na bilei na ngai, mpe bamelisaki ngai vino ya ngayi tango nayokaki posa ya mayi.
And they give gall for my food, And cause me to drink vinegar for my thirst.
22 Tika ete mesa na bango ekoma motambo liboso na bango, mpe kimia na bango ekoma monyama.
Their table before them is for a snare, And for a repayment—for a trap.
23 Tika ete miso na bango ekufa mpo ete bamona lisusu te, mpe babela mikongo mpo na libela.
Their eyes are darkened from seeing, And their loins continually shake You.
24 Sopela bango kanda makasi na Yo, mpe tika ete kanda na Yo ya makasi ekanga bango.
Pour Your indignation on them, And the fierceness of Your anger seizes them.
25 Tika ete molako na bango etikala polele, mpe ete moto moko te avanda na bandako na bango ya kapo.
Their tower is desolated, There is no dweller in their tents.
26 Pamba te bazali konyokola bato oyo ozokisaki, mpe bazali kopanza sango ya pasi ya bato oyo oyokisaki pasi.
For they have pursued him [whom] You have struck, And recount of the pain of Your pierced ones.
27 Bakisa mabe na likolo ya mabe na bango, mpe kokota likambo na bango te na bosembo na Yo.
Give punishment for their iniquity, And they do not enter into Your righteousness.
28 Tika ete bakombo na bango elongwa na buku ya bomoi, mpe batangama te na molongo ya bato ya sembo.
They are blotted out of the scroll of life, And are not written with the righteous.
29 Solo, nazali mobola mpe moto ya pasi; kasi lobiko na Yo, oh Nzambe, ebatelaka ngai.
And I [am] afflicted and pained, Your salvation, O God, sets me on high.
30 Nakoyemba mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Nzambe, mpe nakopesa Ye nkembo elongo na matondi.
I praise the Name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
31 Yango nde ekosepelisa Yawe, koleka ngombe oyo ezali na maseke mpe na makolo ekabwana.
And it is better to YHWH than an ox, A bullock—horned [and] hoofed.
32 Babola bamoni mpe bazali kosepela. Tika ete mitema na bino oyo bolukaka Nzambe ezala na bomoi!
The humble have seen—they rejoice, You who seek God—and your heart lives.
33 Pamba te Yawe ayokaka bato oyo bakelela, mpe atiolaka bato na Ye te ata bazali bakangami kati na boloko.
For YHWH listens to the needy, And He has not despised His bound ones.
34 Tika ete likolo mpe mabele, bibale minene mpe nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ekumisa Ye!
The heavens and earth praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
35 Pamba te Nzambe akobikisa Siona mpe akotonga lisusu bingumba ya Yuda. Bato bakovanda kuna mpe bakozwa yango lokola libula na bango.
For God saves Zion, And builds the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
36 Bakitani ya basali na Ye bakozwa yango lokola libula, mpe bato oyo balingaka Kombo na Ye bakovanda kati na yango.
And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His Name dwell in it!
