< Psalms 106 >

1 Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Luzitisa Yave, luvutudila Yave matondo bila widi wumboti, luzolo luandi lunzingila mu zithangu zioso.
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise?
Nani wulenda yamikisa mavanga ma lulendo ma Yave? Voti samuna nzitusu andi woso e?
3 Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
Lusakumunu kuidi bobo basimbididi busonga; bobo beti vanga mambu ma lulama mu zithangu zioso.
4 Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
Wuthebukila moyo, a Yave, mu thangu wumvangila batu baku mamboti wiza wutsadisa mu thangu wela kubavukisa,
5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
muingi ndibaka bu muena khini mu mamboti ma batu baku bobo wusobula; muingi ndibaka bukabudila khini ayi batu baku; ayi muingi ndifubakana va kimosi ayi kiuka kiaku mu kuvananga nzitusu.
6 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
Tuvola masumu banga buvodila madise meto; beto tuvanga mambimbi ayi mavanga mambimbi.
7 Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Thangu madise meto baba ku Ezipite, basia ba ko kadi mayindu mu bikumu biaku; basia tebukila ko moyo woka ku mamboti maku vayi baba bankua matingu va ndambu mbu, va ndambu mbu wu mbuaki.
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
Vayi wuba vukisa mu diambu di nkembo wu dizina diandi mu monisa lulendo luandi.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
Wutemina mbu wu mbuaki, buna wawu wuyuma; wuba diatisa mu dibulu dinneni banga mu dikanga.
10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Wuba vukisa mu koko ku mutu wowo wu balenda; wuba kula mu koko ku bambeni.
11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
Minlangu midiamisa bambeni ziawu; kadi wumosi kasia siala wumoyo ko.
12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
Buna bawilukila zitsila ziandi ayi bayimbila minzitusu miandi.
13 They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,
Vayi mu nsualu bavika zimbakana momo kavanga, ayi basia tadidila zindongi ziandi ko.
14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
Mu dikanga, bakiyekula mu zinzinunu ziawu; va buangu kikambulu batu, batota Nzambi.
15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
Buna wuba vana biobi balomba; ayi wubafidisila ziphasi.
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.
Bavangila Moyize kiphala ayi Aloni ku ka, mutu wowo Yave kabieka nlongo.
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
Ntoto wuzibuka ayi wumina Datani; ayi wufuka dikabu di batu ba Abilami
18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
Mbazu yilema va khatitsika batu baba kubakuka, nlaki wu mbazu wuzinisa batu bambimbi.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
Ku Holebi, bavanga muana ngombi; ayi babuongimina tumba kivangulu mu suitisa sengo.
20 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
Baviakisa nkembo awu mu mfikula yi ngombi yeti dia biti
21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
Bazimbakana Nzambi, mutu wubavukisa, mutu wuvanga mambu manneni mu Ezipite,
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
bikumu mu tsi Hami ayi mambu ma tsisi va ndambu mbu wu mbuaki.
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
Buna wutuba ti wukana ku babunga; enati kambu Moyize, mutu andi wukasobula, wutelama mu diambu di kuba sambildila va ntualꞌandi mu diambu di kakidila miangu miandi mi ngolo muingi kabika ku babunga.
24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
Buna balenza tsi yi makhini, basia wilukila ko tsilꞌandi.
25 but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.
Baniunguta mu zinzo ziawu zi ngoto; ayi basia tumukina ko Yave.
26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
Buna wuvumuna koko kuandi mu leva ndefi mu diambu diawu ti wela kuba buisa mu dikanga;
27 that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
ti wela buisa nkunꞌawu va khatitsika makanda; ayi wela kuba sasikisa mu yenda ntoto.
28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Bakiyekula bawu veka kuidi Bali-Pewoli ayi badia makaba matambuku kuidi zinzambi zikambulu moyo.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
Basoka Yave muingi kafuema mu diambu di mavanga mawu mambimbi, ayi nsongo wutotuka va khatitsikꞌawu.
30 Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
Buna Pineyasi wutelama ayi wuvuata nsamu; buna nsongo wutumbu manisa.
31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
Buna bantangila diawu banga busonga mu zitsungi zinkuiza zikambulu tsukulu.
32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
Ku minlangu mi Meliba, bafuemisa Yave; buna ziphasi zibuila Moyize mu diambu diawu.
33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
Bila batinguna Pheve yi Nzambi ayi mambu makambulu fuana matotukila mu bididi bi Moyize.
34 They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,
Basi bunga ko batu boso bubela lutumunu lu Yave.
35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.
Vayi bafubakana ayi makanda mankaka ayi balonguka kikhulu ki makanda beni.
36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
Babuongimina bitumba biawu, biawu bikituka ntambu kuidi bawu.
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
Batambika bana bawu bababakala ayi babaketo kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi.
38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
Batengula menga ma batu bakambulu zaba diambu; menga ma bana bawu bababakala ayi babaketo mawu batambika kuidi bitumba bi Kana. Buna ntoto wusumuka mu diambu di menga mawu.
39 Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
Bakisumuna bawu veka mu momo bavanga, mu mavanga mawu, ba ta kitsuza bawu veka.
40 Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
Muaki Yave wufuemina batu bandi ayi wukakumukina kiuka kiandi.
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
Wuba yekula kuidi makanda ayi bobo baba lenda babayadila.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
Bambeni bawu ziba yamisa ayi batulu ku tsi lulendo luawu.
43 He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
Zikhumbu ziwombo kaba kudila vayi baba kaka bankua matingu ayi bakibivisa mu masumu mawu.
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
Vayi wubela ziphasi ziawu mayindu thangu kawa yamikina kuawu.
45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
Mu bila kiawu, wutebukila nguizani andi moyo; ayi mu luzolo luandi lunneni wubalula lukanu.
46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
Niandi wuvanga ti bamueno kiadi kuidi bobo baba nata mu kivika.
47 Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
Wutuvukisa, a Yave, Nzambi eto; ayi wutukutikisa tona ku makanda muingi tubaka buvutudila dizina diaku dinlongo matondo ayi nkembo mu nzitusu aku.
48 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah!
Yave kazitusu, Nzambi yi Iseli! Mu zithangu zioso ayi mu mvu ka mvu. Bika batu boso batuba: “Amen.” Luzitisa Yave.
