< Psalms 41 >

1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo thaluꞌandi yidi kuidi mutu wulebakana, Yave weti ku nkula mu thangu yi ziphasi.
Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 Yave wela kunkeba ayi wela tanina luzingu luandi; wela kunsakumuna va ntoto ayi kalendi kunyekula ko mu luzolo lu bobo beti kunlenda;
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and you will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 Yave wela kunkindisa va mfulu andi yi kimbevo. Ngeyo wela kumbelusa va mfulu andi yi kimbevo.
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness.
4 Ndituba: “A Yave, wumboni kiadi. Wumbelusa bila kuidi ngeyo ndivodidi masumu.”
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.
5 Bambeni ziama zilembo tubi mambu mu diela dimbimbi mu diambu diama: “Thangu mbi kela fua ayi dizina diandi diela lalakana e?”
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 yoso thangu mutu kizidi mu kuthala; mutu wowo wuntubanga luvunu. Ntimꞌandi wufulukidi mambu ma mvuezolo; buna wuntotukanga ku nganda ayi wunyolukilanga mawu.
And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.
7 Bambeni ziama zioso zilembo niunguta va kimosi mu diambu diama. Balembo yindula mambimbi mu diambu diama, balembo tubi:
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 “Nsongo wumbimbi wumbuididi. Kalendi buela vumbuka ko va buangu kioki kalambididi.”
An evil disease, say they, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.
9 Ka diambu ko nkundi ama wu luzolo, wowo ndibedi silanga diana, wubedi kabulanga dipha diama, wumbalumukini.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
10 Vayi ngeyo Yave, wumboni kiadi wuthedimisa. Muingi ndiba vutudila landi.
But you, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 Nzebi ti ngeyo wunyangalalanga mu minu; mu diambu di mbeni ama kabika kundunga.
By this I know that you favour me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me.
12 Mu bufuana kuama, ngeyo wutsimba; wuthedimisa mu zithangu zioso va tuala meso maku.
And as for me, you uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before your face for ever.
13 Nzitusu wuba kuidi Yave, Nzambi yi Iseli, mu thangu yi kayimani.
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
