Psalms 32
1 [A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.
Nzembo ya Davidi. Esengo na moto oyo mabe na ye elimbisami, mpe masumu na ye elongwe!
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.
Esengo na moto oyo Yawe atangelaka lisumu te, mpe atambolaka na lokuta te.
3 Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
Lokola nazalaki kondima mabe na ngai te, nazalaki tango nyonso kolela mpo na pasi.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)
Butu mpe moyi, loboko na Yo ezalaki kofinafina ngai; makasi na ngai ekomaki kosila ndenge makasa ekawukaka na eleko ya moyi.
5 I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and you forgave the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)
Tango nandimaki masumu na ngai mpe nabombaki mabe na ngai te, nalobaki: « Nakotubela masumu na ngai liboso ya Yawe. » Bongo Yo olimbisaki mabe mpe masumu na ngai.
6 Therefore shall every holy one pray to you in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to him.
Boye, tika ete bayengebene nyonso basambelaka Yo na tango ya malamu! Soki mayi minene etomboki, bambonge na yango ekozwa bango te.
7 You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)
Ozali ebombamelo na ngai; obatelaka ngai mpo ete pasi ekanga ngai te mpe ozingelaka ngai na banzembo ya kokangolama.
8 I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix mine eyes upon you.
Olobaki: « Nakopesa yo malako mpe nakolakisa yo nzela ya kolanda; nakopesa yo toli mpe nakosenzela yo.
9 Be you not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but you must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come near to you.
Kozala te lokola mpunda to lokola mile ezanga bososoli, oyo bakangaka nguya na yango na nzela ya ebende mpe ya singa oyo batiaka na minoko na yango mpo na kopekisa yango kopusana pene na yo. »
10 Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
Bato mabe bazali na pasi mingi, kasi bolamu ya Yawe ezingelaka bato oyo batiaka elikya na Yawe.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and exult, you righteous: and glory, all you that are upright in heart.
Bino bato ya sembo, bosepela kati na Yawe, bozala na esengo! Bino nyonso oyo bozali na mitema alima, bobeta milolo ya esengo.
