Psalms 55
1 For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David. Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my supplication.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe, yoka libondeli na ngai, komibomba te wana nazali kobelela Yo.
2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan
Yoka ngai mpe yanola ngai. Kati na kolela na ngai, nakomi koyengayenga mpe nazangi kimia,
3 because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
mpo na maloba ya monguna na ngai mpe kanda ya moto mabe, pamba te bazali kokweyisela ngai misala mabe mpe konyokola ngai na kanda.
4 My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
Motema na ngai etondi na mawa, mpe somo ya kufa ekangi ngai.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
Nakomi kobanga mpe kolenga, somo monene ekangi ngai.
6 I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
Nakomi komilobela: « Soki nazalaki ata na mapapu ya ebenga, nalingaki kopumbwa mpo na koluka bopemi;
7 Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.” (Selah)
nalingaki kokima mosika penza, mpo na kokende kovanda ata na esobe.
8 “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
Solo, na lombangu penza, nalingaki kokende koluka ebombamelo mpo na kokima mopepe makasi mpe ekumbaki. »
9 Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Nkolo, bebisa mabongisi ya banguna na ngai mpe kotisa mobulu kati na bango; pamba te, kati na engumba, nazali komona mobulu mpe bokabwani.
10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
Butu mpe moyi, ezali kotambola na bamir na yango; misala mabe mpe ya kanza etondi kati na yango.
11 Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies do not depart from her streets.
Banguya oyo ebebisaka ezali kosala kati na yango, minyoko mpe lokuta ezali kosila te.
12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
Soki monguna nde azalaki kofinga ngai, nalingaki kokanga motema; soki ezalaki mpe moyini nde azalaki kotelemela ngai, nalingaki komibomba mpo ete amona ngai te.
13 But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
Kasi ezali yo, moto lokola ngai, oyo otambolaka elongo na ngai, molingami mpe moninga na ngai ya motema
14 We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.
oyo nazalaki kokabola elongo na yo, pasi mpe basekele tango tozalaki kokende nzela moko na Tempelo ya Nzambe.
15 Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol (Sheol h7585). For wickedness is among them, in their dwelling.
Tika ete kufa ekanga bango na mbalakata mpe bakita ya bomoi kati na mboka ya bakufi; pamba te mabe etondi kati na bandako mpe mitema na bango. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me.
Mpo na ngai, nabelelaka Nzambe, mpe Yawe akobikisa ngai.
17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
Tongo, midi, pokwa, nasopaka motema na ngai mpe nalelaka, mpe ayokaka mongongo na ngai.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
Akopesa ngai kimia, akokangola ngai na bitumba oyo babundisaka ngai; pamba te bato oyo batelemeli ngai bazali ebele.
19 God, who is enthroned forever, will hear and answer them. (Selah) They never change and do not fear God.
Nzambe ayokaka, akosambwisa bango penza; akonzaka mpo na libela na libela. Babongolaka mitema te mpe batosaka Nzambe te.
20 He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.
Abundisi balingami na ye, abebisi boyokani na ye.
21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
Maloba ya monoko na ye ezalaka sukali, nzokande bitumba evandi kati na motema na ye; maloba na ye ezalaka ya kimia koleka mafuta, nzokande ezali mopanga oyo ezangi ebombelo.
22 Cast your burden on the LORD and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
Bwakela Yawe mokumba na yo, akosunga yo; akotika te ete moto ya sembo akweya mpo na libela.
23 But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
Mpe Yo, Nzambe, okobwaka basopi makila mpe bakosi kati na libulu ya libebi; bakokokisa ata kati-kati te ya mikolo ya bomoi na bango. Kasi ngai, natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo.
