Psalms 140

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the cruel man:

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi. Yawe, kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya bato ya misala mabe! Kokutanisa ngai te na bato na kanza.

2 Which imagine euill things in their heart, and make warre continually.

Basalaka mabongisi mabe kati na mitema na bango mpe balukaka bitumba mikolo nyonso.

3 They haue sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lips. (Selah)

Bapelisaka lolemo na bango lokola nyoka, bibebu na bango ezali na ngenge ya etupa.

4 Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the wicked: preserue mee from the cruell man, which purposeth to cause my steppes to slide.

Yawe, batela ngai mosika ya maboko ya moto mabe; kokutanisa ngai te na bato na kanza oyo bazali kosala mabongisi ya kokweyisa ngai!

5 The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spred a nette with cordes in my pathway, and set grennes for me. (Selah)

Bato ya lofundu batieli ngai mitambo, batandi basinga ya minyama na nzela mpe batimoli mabulu mpo na kokanga ngai.

6 Therefore I saide vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare, O Lord, the voyce of my prayers.

Nalobaka na Yawe: « Ozali Nzambe na ngai! » Yawe, yoka mabondeli na ngai.

7 O Lord God the strength of my saluation, thou hast couered mine head in the day of battel.

Oh Yawe, Nkolo na ngai, ozali makasi ya lobiko na ngai, obatelaka moto na ngai kati na mokolo ya etumba.

8 Let not the wicked haue his desire, O Lord: performe not his wicked thought, least they be proude. (Selah)

Yawe, kokokisa te posa ya moto mabe, kolongisa te mabongisi na ye, noki te akokoma lolendo.

9 As for the chiefe of them, that compasse me about, let the mischiefe of their owne lippes come vpon them.

Tika ete pasi oyo bibebu na bango esili kobongisa ekweyela bato oyo bazingeli ngai.

10 Let coles fal vpon them: let him cast them into the fire, and into the deepe pits, that they rise not.

Tika ete makala ya moto esopanela bango! Tika ete Nzambe atindika bango kati na moto, kati na mabulu ya potopoto epai wapi bakokoka kotelema lisusu te!

11 For the backbiter shall not be established vpon the earth: euill shall hunt the cruell man to destruction.

Batioli bakowumela te kati na mokili, pasi ekolanda bato na kanza na kolemba te.

12 I know that the Lord will auenge the afflicted, and iudge the poore.

Nayebi ete Yawe akotaka makambo ya babola mpe alongisaka bato oyo bakelela.

13 Surely the righteous shall prayse thy Name, and the iust shall dwell in thy presence.

Solo, bato ya sembo bakosanzola Kombo na Yo, bato ya alima bakovanda liboso na Yo.
