Psalms 64
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. God, please listen to my complaint. Protect me because my enemies scare me.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe, yoka mongongo na ngai kati kolela na ngai, batela ngai mosika ya monguna oyo azali kopesa ngai somo.
2 Shelter me from the plots of the wicked, from this evil mob.
Bomba ngai mosika ya mikano ya bato mabe, mosika ya makita ya bato ya misala mabe.
3 What they say cuts like swords; they fire off poisonous words like arrows.
Bapelisaka lolemo na bango ndenge bapelisaka mopanga, babimisaka maloba ya bololo lokola makonga
4 They shoot from their hiding places at innocent people—doing this without warning, not afraid of being caught.
mpo na kobwakela, na kobombama, moto oyo azangi pamela; babangaka te kobwakela ye yango na mbalakata.
5 They encourage one another to do evil, planning how to secretly trap people, telling themselves, “Nobody will notice.”
Balendisanaka mpo na mabongisi mabe, bayokanaka kotia mitambo; balobaka: « Nani akomona yango? »
6 They plot wicked things. “What a great plan we've created!” they say. There are no limits to the depths to which human minds and thoughts can sink.
Basalaka mabongisi ya kosala bato mabe, balobaka: « Toselingwi na mabongisi na biso! » Makanisi mpe motema ya moto ezali mozindo makasi.
7 But God will shoot them with arrows; all of a sudden they will be wounded.
Kasi Nzambe akobwakela bango makonga na Ye na mbalakata; ekozwa mpe ekozokisa bango.
8 What they themselves say will trip them up; people who see them will mock them, shaking their heads at them.
Maloba na bango moko ekobalukela bango mpe ekomema bango na libebi; mpe moto nyonso oyo akomona bango akoningisa moto.
9 Then everyone will be frightened. They will say that this is the work of God, and they will think about what he has done.
Bato nyonso bakokoma kobanga, kopanza sango ya misala ya Nzambe mpe kososola makambo oyo asalaka.
10 Those who are right with the Lord will be happy in him, they will go to him for protection. Those who live right will praise him.
Moto ya sembo akosepela mpe akomibomba kati na Yawe; bato nyonso oyo bazali na mitema alima bakomikumisa mpo na yango.
