Psalms 140
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the cruel man:
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Wukhudi, a Yave, mu mutu wumbimbi; wukheba mu mutu wu makhemi;
2 Which imagine euill things in their heart, and make warre continually.
bobo banyindulanga zikhanu zimbimbi mu mintima miawu ayi bantombanga lumbu ka lumbu nuana mvita.
3 They haue sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lips. (Selah)
Beti kitula ludimi luawu meno banga lu nioka; mitsa mi bikusa midi mu bididi biawu.
4 Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the wicked: preserue mee from the cruell man, which purposeth to cause my steppes to slide.
Wukheba, a Yave, mu mutu wumbimbi. Wuthanina mu batu badi makhemi; bobo beti kubika zikhanu mu buisa malu mama.
5 The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spred a nette with cordes in my pathway, and set grennes for me. (Selah)
Batu ba luniemo bathambila makondi; bayalumuna minsinga mi makondi mawu ayi bathambila mintambu muyenda nsolo ama.
6 Therefore I saide vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare, O Lord, the voyce of my prayers.
A Yave, ndituba kuidi ngeyo: “ngeyo Nzambi ama.” Wa, a Yave, yamikina kuama bu ndintomba monono kiadi.
7 O Lord God the strength of my saluation, thou hast couered mine head in the day of battel.
A Yave, mutu wumvanganga makazodidi ngeyo nkudi ama wu ngolo ngeyo weti kaka ntuꞌama mu lumbu ki mvita.
8 Let not the wicked haue his desire, O Lord: performe not his wicked thought, least they be proude. (Selah)
Kadi tala zitsatu zi batu bambimbi zivangama, a Yave. Kadi tala ti zikhanu ziawu zinunga nganu bela ba luniemo.
9 As for the chiefe of them, that compasse me about, let the mischiefe of their owne lippes come vpon them.
Bika mintu mi bobo banzungididi mifuku kuidi ziphasi ziozi bididi biawu bitotula.
10 Let coles fal vpon them: let him cast them into the fire, and into the deepe pits, that they rise not.
Bika makala ma mbazu mabua va bawu. Bika balozo ku mbazu, ku tsi mabulu madi nyamba; babika buela telama.
11 For the backbiter shall not be established vpon the earth: euill shall hunt the cruell man to destruction.
Bika mimvuezi mibika zingila mu tsi; bika mabienga malandakana mu kambu vonga batu badi makhemi.
12 I know that the Lord will auenge the afflicted, and iudge the poore.
Nzebi ti Yave weti vana luvovomo lusonga kuidi nsukami ayi wela nuanina minsukami.
13 Surely the righteous shall prayse thy Name, and the iust shall dwell in thy presence.
Bukiedika, basonga bela zitisa dizina diaku ayi batu badi mintima milulama bela zingila va ntualꞌaku.
