For the chief musician, set to the Shoshannim Eduth style. A psalm of Asaph. Pay attention, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock; you who sit above the cherubim, shine on us!
2 liboso ya Efrayimi, ya Benjame mpe ya Manase. Monisa nguya na Yo mpe yaka kobikisa biso!
In the sight of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up your power; come and save us.
3 Oh Nzambe, sala ete tozongela ndenge tozalaki, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo mpo ete tobika.
God, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.
4 Eh Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, kino tango nini okotombokela mabondeli ya bato na Yo?
Yahweh God of hosts, how long will you be angry at your people when they pray?
5 Oleisaki bango lipa esangana na mayi ya miso mpe olangwisaki bango na kopo etonda na mpinzoli;
You have fed them with the bread of tears and given them tears to drink in great quantities.
6 okomisaki biso eloko ya kotiola mpo na bazalani na biso, mpe banguna na biso bakomi kotiola biso.
You make us something for our neighbors to argue over, and our enemies laugh about us among themselves.
7 Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, sala ete tozongela ndenge tozalaki, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo mpo ete tobika.
God of hosts, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.
8 Nzete ya vino oyo opikolaki wuta na Ejipito, olonaki yango wana obenganaki bikolo ebele.
You brought a vine out of Egypt; you drove out nations and transplanted it.
9 Obongiselaki yango mabele mpo ete ezwa misisa mpe etondisa mokili.
You cleared the land for it; it took root and filled the land.
10 Elili na yango ezipaki bangomba, bitape na yango ezalaki lokola banzete minene ya sedele.
The mountains were covered with its shade, the cedars of God by its branches.
11 Epanzaki bitape na yango kino na ebale monene, mpe mito na yango ya sika kino na ebale.
It sent out its branches as far as the sea and its shoots to the Euphrates River.
12 Mpo na nini otoboli madusu kati na bamir na yango? Tala ndenge baleki nzela bazali kobuka bambuma na yango!
Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by along the road pluck its fruit?
13 Ngulu ya zamba ezali kobebisa yango, mpe nyama ya zamba ezali kolia yango.
The boars out of the forest ruin it, and the beasts of the field feed on it.
14 Zongela biso lisusu, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso! Wuta na likolo, tala mpe mona! Senzela mpo na nzete oyo ya vino!
Turn back, God of hosts; look down from heaven and take notice and take care of this vine.
15 Batela nzete oyo loboko na Yo ya mobali elonaki, batela solo mwana oyo Yo moko obokolaki.
This is the root that your right hand planted, the shoot that you made to grow.
16 Bakati nzete na Yo ya vino mpe batumbi yango na moto; tika ete bakufa na pamela ya elongi na Yo!
It has been burned and cut down; they perish because of your rebuke.
17 Tika ete loboko na Yo ezala na likolo ya mokonzi oyo avandi na ngambo ya loboko na Yo ya mobali, mpe na likolo ya mwana na moto oyo Yo moko okomisaki makasi.
May your hand be on the man of your right hand, on the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
18 Boye, tokozala lisusu mosika na Yo te; zongisela biso lisusu bomoi, mpe tokobelela Kombo na Yo.
Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
19 Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, sala ete tozongela ndenge tozalaki, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo mpo ete tobika.
Yahweh God of hosts, restore us; make your face shine on us, and we will be saved.
