Psalms 116

1 Alleluia. I have loved: therefore, the Lord will heed the voice of my prayer.

Nalingaka Yawe, pamba te ayokaka mongongo mpe mabondeli na ngai.

2 For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.

Ayokaki ngai; boye nakobelela Ye bomoi na ngai mobimba.

3 The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow. (Sheol h7585)

Minyololo ya kufa ezingelaki ngai, somo ya mboka ya bakufi ekangaki ngai; nakomaki moto ya pasi mpe ya mawa. (Sheol h7585)

4 And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.

Kasi nabelelaki Kombo ya Yawe: « Yawe, nabondeli Yo, bikisa ngai! »

5 Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.

Yawe asalaka ngolu mpe azali sembo, Nzambe na biso ayokelaka bato mawa.

6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.

Yawe abatelaka bato oyo bazangi mayele. Nalembaki nzoto, kasi abikisi ngai.

7 Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.

Molimo na ngai, zongela kimia na yo, pamba te Yawe asaleli yo bolamu.

8 For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.

Solo, okangoli ngai na kufa, okawusi mpinzoli na ngai mpe obateli makolo na ngai ete ekweya te.

9 I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

Nakotambola liboso ya Yawe kati na mokili ya bato ya bomoi.

10 Alleluia. I had confidence, because of what I was saying, but then I was greatly humbled.

Solo, nazalaka na elikya, ezala soki nalobaka: « Nazali moto na pasi makasi. »

11 I said in my excess, “Every man is a liar.”

Kati na mitungisi na ngai, nazalaki komilobela: « Bato nyonso bazali bakosi. »

12 What shall I repay to the Lord, for all the things that he has repaid to me?

Nini nakoki kozongisela Yawe mpo na bolamu na Ye nyonso epai na ngai?

13 I will take up the cup of salvation, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

Nakotombola kopo ya elonga mpe nakobelela Kombo ya Yawe.

14 I will repay my vows to the Lord, in the sight of all his people.

Nakokokisa bandayi na ngai epai na Yawe na miso ya bato na Ye nyonso.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones.

Kufa ya bayengebene ya Yawe ezali na motuya makasi na miso na Ye.

16 O Lord, because I am your servant, your servant and the son of your handmaid, you have broken my bonds.

Yawe, yoka ngai, nazali mosali na Yo. Nazali mosali na Yo, mwana mobali ya mwasi mosali na Yo. Ofungoli minyololo oyo ekangaki ngai.

17 I will sacrifice to you the sacrifice of praise, and I will invoke the name of the Lord.

Nakobonzela Yo mbeka mpo na kozongisa matondi, mpe nakobelela Kombo ya Yawe.

18 I will repay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people,

Nakokokisa bandayi na ngai epai na Yawe na miso ya bato na Ye nyonso,

19 in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.

kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe; kati na yo, Yelusalemi. Bokumisa Yawe!
