Psalms 16
1 A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
Nkunga Davidi. A Nzambi, wukheba mu luvovomo bila kuidi ngeyo nditombila suamunu.
2 My soul, you have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
Kuidi Yave ndituba: “Ngeyo Pfumu ama, kuidi ngeyo kaka kueti banga mamboti mama.”
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Mu diambu di banlongo bobo badi mu tsi; bawu batu banzitusu. Khini yiwombo baku mbonisanga.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
Bobo banlandakananga zinzambi zinkaka kiadi kiawu kiela buelama, voti ndilendi tambika makaba mawu ma menga ko, Ndilendi tanga mazina mawu mu bididi biama ko.
5 The LORD assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Yave ngeyo wuphana ndambu yi kiuka kiama, ayi mbungu ama, ngeyo wunkebanga kuku kiama mu luvovomo.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
Zindili zikubuku mu diambu diama mu buangu bidi kitoko; bukiedika, thambudi kiuka ki mboti.
7 I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Ndiela zitisa Yave; wukuphananga malongi ntimꞌama wukundonganga mu builu,
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Ndieti tula Yave ku ntualꞌama mu zithangu zioso bila widi ku koko kuama ku lubakala, ndilendi nikuka ko.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Diawu ntimꞌama wididi mu khini; ludimi luama lueti yangalala ayi nitu ama yela vunda mu luvovomo;
10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol (Sheol h7585), neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption.
Bila ngeyo wulendi kundiekula ko ku tsi bafua, ayi wulendi tala ko mutu aku wunlongo kabola. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
Ngeyo wumbonisa nsolo wu luzingu; zikhini ziwombo zidi va ntuala zizi kiaku. Wela kumbonisa khini va meso maku va kimosi ayi zikhini zika zisukanga ko zidi va koko kuaku ku lubakala.
