Psalms 31
1 For the end, a Psalm of David, [an utterance] of extreme fear. O Lord, I have hoped in you; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness and rescue me.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eh Yawe, kati na Yo nde nazwa ebombamelo; kondima te ete nayoka soni! Bikisa ngai na bosembo na Yo!
2 Incline your ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be you to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.
Yoka ngai mpe kangola ngai noki! Zala mpo na ngai libanga oyo ezingelami na bamir mpe ndako batonga makasi mpo na kobikisa ngai.
3 For you are my strength and my refuge; and you shall guide me for your name's sake, and maintain me.
Mpo ete ozali libanga na ngai mpe ndako na ngai ya makasi, kamba mpe tambolisa ngai mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo.
4 You shall bring me out of the snare which they have hidden for me; for you, O Lord, are my defender.
Bikisa ngai na motambo oyo batieli ngai, pamba te ozali ebombamelo na ngai.
5 Into your hands I will commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.
Nazongisi molimo na ngai kati na maboko na Yo, Yawe, Nzambe ya solo, oyo okangolaki ngai.
6 You has hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.
Nalingaka te bato nyonso oyo bakangamaka na banzambe ya bikeko, pamba te natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yawe.
7 I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon mine affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.
Nakozalaka moto ya esengo mpe nakosepelaka kati na bolingo na Yo; pamba te omonaka pasi na ngai, mpe oyebi mitungisi na ngai.
8 And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.
Okabaki ngai te na maboko ya monguna na ngai, kasi obombaka ngai mosika, na esika ya kimia penza.
9 Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.
Yawe, yokela ngai mawa, pamba te nazali kati na pasi; miso, motema mpe nzoto na ngai mobimba ebebi mpo na mawa.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.
Bomoi na ngai ekawuki mpo na pasi, mpe mibu na ngai ezali koleka kati na kolela; makasi na ngai esili mpo na mabe na ngai, mpe mikuwa na ngai elembi.
11 I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbors, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.
Banguna na ngai nyonso bakomi kozwa ngai lokola eloko ya lisuma, baninga na ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola eloko ya soni, mpe bato oyo bayebi ngai bakomi kozwa ngai lokola eloko ya somo.
12 I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
Babosani ngai lokola moto oyo asila kokufa; nakomi lokola mbeki oyo epanzana.
13 For I heard the slander of many that lived round about: when they were gathered together against me, they took counsel to take my life.
Nayokaka matongi na bango na tina na ngai tango basanganaka mpe basalaka makita mpo na koluka ndenge nini koboma ngai.
14 But I hoped in you, O Lord: I said, You are my God.
Kasi ngai, natiaka elikya na ngai kati na Yo, Yawe, mpe nalobaka: « Ozali Nzambe na ngai. »
15 My lots are in your hands: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,
Mikolo ya bomoi na ngai ezali kati na maboko na Yo; kangola ngai wuta na maboko ya banguna mpe ya bayini na ngai.
16 and from them that persecute me. Make your face to shine upon your servant: save me in your mercy.
Tala ngai mosali na Yo, na miso ya bolingo; bikisa ngai kati na bolingo na Yo.
17 O Lord, let me not be ashamed, for I have called upon you: let the ungodly be ashamed, and brought down to Hades. (Sheol h7585)
Yawe, sala ete nayokisama soni te, pamba te nabeleli Yo. Kasi tika ete bato mabe nde bayoka soni mpe bakita kino na mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the deceitful lips become dumb, which speak iniquity against the righteous with pride and scorn.
Tika ete ekangama, bibebu oyo elobaka lokuta, oyo elobaka na lolendo mpe na lofundu, oyo ebebisaka lokumu ya moto ya sembo na nzela ya songisongi.
19 How abundant is the multitude of your goodness, O Lord, which you have laid up for them that fear you! you have wrought [it] out for them that hope on you, in the presence of the sons of men.
Boboto na Yo ezali penza monene, boboto oyo obombaka mpo na bato oyo batosaka Yo, boboto oyo otalisaka epai ya bato oyo bazwaka Yo lokola ebombamelo na bango, na miso ya bato nyonso.
20 You will hide them in the secret of your presence from the vexation of man: you will screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
Obombaka bango epai na Yo, mosika ya mabongisi mabe ya bato; obatelaka bango kati na Yo, mosika ya bato oyo babundisaka bango.
21 Blessed be the Lord: for he has magnified his mercy in a fortified city.
Tika ete Yawe akumisama, pamba te atalisaki ngai bolingo na Ye ya kokamwa, tango nazalaki kati na engumba oyo ezingelamaki na banguna!
22 But I said in my extreme fear, I am cast out from the sight of your eyes: therefore you did listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication when I cried to you.
Kati na kobanga na ngai, namilobelaki: « Obengani ngai penza mosika na Yo! » Nzokande oyokaki ngai wana nazalaki kobondela Yo mpe wana nazalaki kobelela Yo.
23 Love the Lord, all you his saints: for the Lord seeks for truth, and renders [a reward] to them that deal very proudly.
Bino babulami na Ye nyonso, bolinga Yawe! Yawe abatelaka bato ya sembo epai na Ye, kasi apesaka etumbu ya makasi epai ya bato ya lofundu.
24 Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all you that hope in the Lord.
Bino nyonso oyo botalelaka Yawe, bozala makasi mpe boyika mpiko.
