Psalms 143
1 Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.
Nkunga Davidi. A Yave, wa lusambulu luama, dimba yamikina kuama mu diambu di kiadi mu kikhuikizi kiaku ayi mu busonga buaku, yiza wutsadisa.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
Kadi nata kisadi kiaku ku tsambusu; bila kadi mutu wumosi widi moyo widi wusonga va ntualꞌaku.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth. He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old:
Bila mbeni wulembo ndandakana, wulembo ndiatidila va tsi; niandi wukuphuandisanga mu bibuangu bidi tombi banga batu bobo bafua thama.
4 And my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.
Buna pheve ama yeka suka-suka mu khati ama; ntimꞌama weka mona tsisi mu khati ama.
5 I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
Ndilembo tebukila moyo bilumbu bivioka. Ndinyindulanga mavanga maku moso ayi fiongunina mavanga ma mioko miaku.
6 I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
Ndinonuna mioko miama kuidi ngeyo. Muelꞌama widi phuila mu kumona banga ntoto wu yuma, bu wididi phuila nlangu.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away. Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Wuphani mvutu mu nsualu, a Yave pheve ama yilembo yami. Kadi kutsuekila zizi kiaku bila ndieka dedakana banga bobo bankuendanga ku dibulu.
8 Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped. Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
Bika nsuka wundatina mambu ma luzolo luaku lu ngolo; bila nditula diana diama mu ngeyo. Wumbonisa nzila yoyi mfueti kuendila bila kuidi ngeyo ndimvumbula muelꞌama.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled:
Wukhula mu bambeni ziama, a Yave; bila ndikukisuekanga mu ngeyo.
10 Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land:
Wundonga mu vanga luzolo luaku bila ngeyo Nzambi ama. Bika pheve aku yimboti yindiatisa mu ntoto wulendumuka.
11 For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble:
Mu diambu di dizina diaku, a Yave, tamina luzingu luama; mu busonga buaku, bika wuthotula mu ziphasi.
12 And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
Mu luzolo luaku lu ngolo, kanga bambeni ziama; bunga babo bobo beti kundenda, bila ndidi kisadi kiaku.
