Psalms 83
1 A song, a psalm of Asaph. Do not keep silent, O God: hold not your peace, be not still, God.
Nzembo ya Azafi. Oh Nzambe, kovanda nye te! Nzambe, kokanga monoko na Yo te, kotikala kimia te!
2 For see! Your enemies roar, those who hate you lift up their heads,
Tala ndenge banguna na Yo bazali kotomboka; tala ndenge bayini na Yo bazali kotombola mito na bango!
3 laying crafty plans for your people, and plotting against those you treasure.
Bazali kosalela bato na Yo likita, kokanela bato oyo obatelaka.
4 ‘Come, let us wipe them out as a nation, so Israel’s name will be mentioned no more.’
Bazali koloba: « Boya, toboma bango nyonso mpo ete ekolo na bango ezala lisusu te, mpo ete batanga lisusu kombo ya Isalaele te. »
5 For, conspiring with one accord, they have made a league against you
Basangani mpe bayokani, basali boyokani mpo na kotelemela Yo:
6 Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagrites.
bato ya Edomi mpe bato ya Isimaeli, bato ya Moabi mpe bato ya Agari,
7 Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre;
Gebali, Amoni mpe Amaleki, bato ya Filisitia elongo na bato ya Tiri.
8 Syria, too, is confederate, they have strengthened the children of Lot. (Selah)
Bato ya Asiri mpe basangani elongo na bango mpo na kobakisa bakitani ya Loti makasi.
9 Deal with them as you dealt with Midian, with Sisera, with Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon,
Sala bango ndenge osalaki Madiani, ndenge osalaki Sisera mpe Yabini, kuna na mayi ya Kishoni.
10 who at Endor were destroyed, and became dung for the field.
Babebisamaki na Eyini-Dori, bakomaki lokola matiti ya kopola mpo na mabele.
11 Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
Sala bato na bango ya lokumu ndenge osalaki Orebi mpe Zeebi; mpe sala bakambi na bango ndenge osalaki Zeba mpe Tsalimuna
12 who said, ‘Let us take for ourselves the meadows of God.’
oyo bazalaki koloba: « Tobotola mabele ya Nzambe! »
13 Whirl them, my God, like dust, like stubble before the wind.
Nzambe na ngai, balola bango lokola matiti oyo mopepe ezali kopumbwisa.
14 As the fire that kindles the forest, as flame that sets mountains ablaze,
Ndenge moto ezikisaka zamba, ndenge moto makasi ezikisaka bangomba,
15 so with your tempest pursue them, terrify them with your hurricane.
landa bango na nzela ya mopepe na Yo mpe bangisa bango na nzela ya mopepe makasi na Yo!
16 Make them blush with shame; until they seek your name, O Lord.
Yawe, tondisa bilongi na bango na soni mpo ete baluka Kombo na Yo!
17 Everlasting shame and confusion, disgrace and destruction be theirs.
Tika ete soni mpe somo makasi elata bango mpo na libela! Tika ete bakufa na soni!
18 Teach those who you alone are most high over all the earth.
Tika bayeba ete Yo, oyo Kombo na Yo ezali Yawe, ozali Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo kati na mokili mobimba!
