< Psalms 64 >

1 For the leader. A psalm of David. Hear, O my God, the voice of my lament: guard my life from the dread of the foe.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Wungwa, a Nzambi, bu ndilembo wakikisa maniongo mama keba luzingu luama va ntuala mbeni yoyi ndieti mona tsisi!
2 Hide me from villains who secretly plot, from the blustering throng of the workers of evil,
Wutsueka mu zikhanu zintotukilanga mu lukutukunu lu nsueki lu batu bambimbi ayi mu lukutukunu lu nkangu wu batu bamvanganga mambimbi; bobo badi bulawu.
3 who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed bitter words like arrows,
Balembo bengula ludimi luawu banga sabala; bantotulanga mambu mawu banga madionga meti vonda.
4 which from ambush they launch at the blameless, shooting swiftly and unafraid.
Beti lozila bu badi mu bibuangu bisuama mutu kambulu zaba diambu Beti kunlozila mu kinzimbukila, mu kambu mona tsisi.
5 They strengthen their wicked purpose, they tell of the snares they have hidden, they say to themselves, ‘Who can see?’
Beti kukikindisa mu zikhanu zimbimbi; beti tubana mu diambu di batamba mintambu miawu, Beti kamba: “A nani wela mimona e?”
6 They think out their crimes full cunningly hidden deep in their crafty hearts.
Beti yindula mambu makambulu masonga ayi beti tuba: “Tukubikidi lukanu lu fuana.” Bukiedika, mayindu ma tsi ntima ayi ntima wu mutu thipula bidi.
7 But God with his arrow will shoot them, swiftly shall they be smitten.
Vayi Nzambi wela kuba lozila madionga mandi mu kinzimbukila bela.
8 For their tongue he will bring them to ruin, all will shudder with horror at the sight of them.
Wela balula ludimi luawu veka mu diambu diawu ayi kuba nata ku mbivusu babo bela kuba mona bela nikuna ntu.
9 Then every person, touched to awe, as they ponder what God has wrought, will tell the tale of his deeds.
Batu boso bela mona tsisi, bela yamikisa mavanga ma Nzambi; ayi bela sudika momo kavanga.
10 In the Lord shall the righteous rejoice, in him shall they take refuge; and all the true-hearted shall glory.
Bika mutu wusonga kamona khini mu Yave ayi katombila suamunu mu niandi ayi babo badi mintima mi lulama banzitisa.
