< Psalms 59 >

1 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki ndenge moko na « Kobebisa te! » tango Saulo atindaki bato kozingela ndako ya Davidi mpo na koboma ye. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe na ngai, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna na ngai; batela ngai liboso ya banyokoli na ngai.
2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
Kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bato ya misala mabe, mpe bikisa ngai liboso ya basopi makila ya bato.
3 For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.
Yawe, bazali koluka koboma ngai; bato na nguya basaleli ngai likita, nzokande nasali mabe te, nasali na ngai mpe masumu te.
4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me. Rise up, behold, and help me!
Nasali mabe ata moko te; kasi bango bazali kopota mbangu, bazali komibongisa. Lamuka mpo na koya kokutana na ngai, mpe tala.
5 You, Yahweh God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. (Selah)
Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, Nzambe ya Isalaele, telema mpo na kopesa bikolo nyonso etumbu; koyokela bato nyonso oyo basalaka mabe mawa te.
6 They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city.
Bazongaka na pokwa, bagangaka lokola bambwa mpe batambolaka zingazinga ya engumba.
7 Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”
Na nzela ya minoko na bango, babimisaka na bibebu na bango maloba oyo ezokisaka lokola mipanga; bamilobelaka: « Nani azali koyoka biso? »
8 But you, Yahweh, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations.
Kasi Yo, Yawe, osekaka bango, otiolaka bikolo nyonso.
9 Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower.
Nzambe, ozali makasi na ngai, nakotalela Yo; ozali ebombamelo na ngai,
10 My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph.
Nzambe na ngai, oyo nalingaka. Nzambe ayaka kino liboso na ngai, atikaka ngai kotala banguna na ngai.
11 Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield.
Nkolo, nguba na biso, koboma bango te, noki te bato na ngai bakobosana. Na nguya na Yo, sala ete bayengayenga, mpe mema bango kino na se.
12 For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.
Mpo na masumu ya minoko na bango, mpo na maloba ya bibebu na bango, tika ete bakangama na motambo ya lolendo na bango. Mpo na bilakeli mabe mpe lokuta na bango,
13 Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. (Selah)
bebisa bango na kanda na Yo, bebisa bango kino bazala lisusu te. Bongo bakoyeba ete Nzambe azali kokonza kati na Jakobi kino na suka ya mokili.
14 At evening let them return. Let them howl like a dog, and go around the city.
Bazongaka na pokwa, bagangaka lokola bambwa mpe batambolaka zingazinga ya engumba.
15 They shall wander up and down for food, and wait all night if they aren’t satisfied.
Bayengaka-yengaka mpo na koluka bilei; soki batondi te, balekisaka butu na kolelalela.
16 But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning. For you have been my high tower, a refuge in the day of my distress.
Kasi ngai nakoyembela makasi na Yo, nakobetela bolingo na Yo milolo, na tongo, pamba te ozali ebombamelo na ngai, mpe ekimelo na ngai na tango ya pasi.
17 To you, my strength, I will sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
Ozali makasi na ngai, nakoyemba mpo na lokumu na Yo; ozali ebombamelo na ngai, oh Nzambe; Nzambe na ngai, oyo nalingaka.
