Psalms 4
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Nzembo ya Davidi; ezali ya koyemba na lindanda. Nzambe, bosembo na ngai, soki nabeleli Yo, yanola ngai. Kangola ngai na pasi, salela ngai ngolu, mpe yoka libondeli na ngai.
2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonour? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Bino bato, kino tango nini bokoyokisa nkembo na ngai soni? Kino tango nini bokomisepelisa na makambo ya pamba mpe bokolanda makambo ya lokuta?
3 But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
Boyeba ete Yawe abulisi mpo na Ye moko mosali oyo azali sembo na miso na Ye; Yawe ayokaka ngai tango nabelelaka Ye.
4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Soki bosiliki, bosalaka masumu te; soki bolali na mbeto, bolukaka kososola makambo mpe bovandaka kimia.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
Bobonzaka bambeka kolanda mibeko mpe botiaka elikya na bino kati na Yawe.
6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
Bato mingi bazali kotuna: « Nani akomemela biso bolamu? » Oh Yawe, ngengisela biso elongi na Yo.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
Tondisa motema na ngai na esengo soki bafuluki na bambuma ya ble elongo na vino ya sika.
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
Nakolala mpe nakozwa pongi na kimia, pamba te, Yo moko Yawe, osalaka ete navanda na kimia.
