Psalms 146

1 My soul, praise the Lord.

Luzitisa Yave; Zitisa Yave, a muelꞌama.

2 I will praise the Lord, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.

Ndiela zitisanga Yave mu luzingu luama loso; ndiela yimbidilanga Nzambi ama minzitusu thangu yoso ndizingila.

3 Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.

Kadi tula diana dieno mu bana ba mintinu, mu batu bobo beti fua, bobo balendi vukisa ko.

4 When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.

Pheve awu yawu kuenda buna beti vutuka mu ntoto; zikhanu ziawu zilalikini.

5 Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,

Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo widi ti Nzambi yi Yakobi niandi nsadisi andi; wuntulanga diana diandi mu Yave, Nzambi andi,

6 the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.

mvangi wu diyilu, ntoto, mbu ayi bibio bidi muna; widi wukuikama mu zithangu zioso.

7 For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases the prisoners.

Niandi weti vavila mambu ma bobo beti yamusu, ayi wumvananga bidia kuidi bobo badi nzala; Yave niandi weti totula batu bobo badi mu nloko.

8 The Lord gives sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves the righteous.

Yave weti vana kiezila kuidi phofo, Yave weti vumbula bobo badi bakomvama. Yave weti zola batu basonga.

9 The Lord preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.

Yave weti sunga nzenza, niandi wunkindisanga muana sana ayi difuola vayi weti kakumukina zinzila zi batu bambimbi.

10 The Lord shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah.

Yave wunyalanga mu zithangu zioso. Nzambi aku, a Sioni, mu zitsungi zioso. Luzitisa Yave.
