Psalms 31
1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Kuidi ngeyo, Yave ndintombila suamunu; kadi khumbu yimosi ndifua tsoni; wukhula mu busonga buaku.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, LORD, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Yinika dikutu diaku kuidi minu, Yiza nsualu, mu kukhula! Kuidi minu, bika wuba ditadi diama dingolo disuamina, suamunu kingolo, mu diambu di kuphukisa.
Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defence to save me.
3 Sumbu didi ti ngeyo ditadi diama dingolo ayi suamunu kiama kingolo. Mu diambu di dizina diaku bika wuthuadisa ayi wundiatisa.
For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
4 Bika wuthotula mu ntambu wu bathambila, bila ngeyo suamunu kiama.
Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
5 Mu mioko miaku ndintambika pheve ama; Wukhula, a Yave, ngeyo Nzambi yi kiedika.
Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, LORD, God of truth.
6 Ndieti lenda bobo bansingiminanga mu bitumba biphamba. Vayi minu diana diama didi mu Yave.
I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in the LORD.
7 Ndiela mona khini ayi ndiela yangalala mu diambu di luzolo luaku; bila wumona ziphasi ziama; wuzaba kiadi ki muelꞌama.
I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
8 Ayi wusia ku ndiekula ko mu mioko mi mbeni. Vayi ngeyo malu mama va buangu ki yalumuka.
You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Bika wumbona kiadi, a Yave, bila mu ziphasi ndidi. Meso mama; mabividi mu diambu di maniongo muelꞌama ayi nitu ama bibividi mu diambu di phasi
Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
10 Luzingu luama lulembo suki mu kiadi ayi mimvu miama milembo suki mu diambu di kunga. Zingolo ziama zilembo suki mu diambu di ziphasi ziama, ayi mimvesi miama milembo lebakana ngolo.
For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
11 Mu diambu di bambeni ziama zioso, ndiyikidi bila ki nlenzo kuidi bobo bafikimini yami ayi bila ki tsisi yiwombo mu diambu di batu bobo bazabini yama. Bobo bakumbona mu nzila balembo tini va ndidi.
Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbours, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
12 Banzimbikini banga ti ndifua Ndidi banga nzungu tuma yibudika.
I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
13 Bila ndilembo wi balembo thubidila buwombo ku ndambu ayi tsisi yingolo mu zindambu zioso balembo kutakananga va kimosi mu diambu banduanisa; balembo yendila luzingu luama manenga.
For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
14 Vayi minu, mu ngeyo ndintula diana diama, a Yave, Ndieti tuba: “Ngeyo Nzambi ama.”
But I trust in you, LORD. I said, “You are my God.”
15 Bilumbu biama bioso bidi mu mioko miaku; wukhula mu mioko mi bambeni ziama ayi mu mioko mi bobo balembo ndandakana.
My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
16 Bika zizi kiaku kikienzukila kisadi kiaku; wuphukisa mu diambu di luzolo luaku lungolo.
Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
17 Kadi tala ti ndifua tsoni, a Yave, bila kuidi ngeyo ndiyamikina. Vayi bika batu bambimbi bafua tsoni! Bika baba dio sui ku tsi bafua! (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be disappointed, LORD, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Bika bididi bintotulanga luvunu biba dio sui; mu luniemo ayi mu mvuezolo beti yolukila mu luyanu kuidi mutu wusonga.
Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
19 A phila, mamboti maku madidi manneni; momo wulundila bobo beti kukinzika; momo wuvangila bobo beti tomba suamunu kuidi ngeyo va ntuala batu.
Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!
20 Va ntuala meso maku, ngeyo weti kuba suekanga mu diambu di mambimbi mayindulanga batu ku buangu kioki wumvuandanga, ngeyo weti kuba keba mu luvovomo mu ludimi lueti funda.
In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
21 Nzitusu wuba kuidi Yave Bila niandi wumbonisini luzolo luandi lungolo mu thangu ndiba mu divula dizungulu kuidi masodi.
Praise be to the LORD, for he has shown me his marvellous loving kindness in a strong city.
22 Mu boma buama minu ndituba: “Minu ndivengumunu thama va ntualꞌaku.” Muaki ngeyo wuwa yamikina kuama mu diambu di kiadi mu thangu nditela mu diambu di lusadusu.
As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
23 Bika luzola Yave beno banlongo bandi boso. Yave wunkebanga minkhuikizi Vayi wumvutudilanga mu bufuana bobo badi luniemo.
Oh love the LORD, all you his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
24 Lukikindisa ayi bika luba bukhafi mu mintima mieno; beno boso bobo luntulanga diana dieno mu Yave.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in the LORD.
