Psalms 6

1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. — A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi, wuyimbidila wawu mu ngitala yi nana di zitsinga. A Yave, kadi kuthemina ku tsi nganzi aku ayi kadi kuphana thumbudulu bu widi ku tsi miangu miaku mi ngolo.

2 Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah, For troubled have been my bones,

Wumbona kiadi a Yave bila ndidi wulebakana, A Yave wumbelusa bila mimvesi miama mieka nduka fua.

3 And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

Muelꞌama wulembo yami, Nate thangu mbi, a Yave, nate thangu mbi e?

4 Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

Vutikisa ntima, a Yave, wukhudi, wuphukisa mu diambu di luzolo luaku lu ngolo.

5 For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth give thanks to Thee? (Sheol h7585)

Mutu kalendi kutebukila moyo ko niandi fua. Ayi nani wela kuzitisa ku tsi bafua e? (Sheol h7585)

6 I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste.

Mbemana vonga kuna ku kunga; builu bu mvimba ndieti bodisa mbukꞌama mu bidilu, ndieti bodisa buangu ki ndieti leka mu matsuela.

7 Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all mine adversaries,

Meso mama mabividi mu diambu di kiadi, ayi manunini mu diambu di bobo beti kundenda.

8 Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard the voice of my weeping,

Botukanu va ntualꞌama beno boso lumvanganga mambu mambimbi. Bila Yave wuwilu bidilu biama.

9 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer receiveth.

Yave wuwilu yamikina kuama mu diambu di kiadi Yave kikinini lusambulu luama.

10 Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They turn back — ashamed [in] a moment!

Bambeni ziama zioso baela fua tsoni ayi bela ba boma-boma. Bela vutikisa ku manima ayi bela fua tsoni mu nsualu.
