< Psalms 4 >

1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Nkunga Davidi, kayimbidila mu bisiku bi zitsinga mu diambu di pfumu minyimbidi. Wuphutudila mvutu bu ndilembo kutedi, a Nzambi ama yisonga ayi wutsadisa bu ndidi mu phasi; wumboni kiadi, wa lusambulu luama.
2 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you love vanity and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Nate thangu mbi luela, tatamana fuisa nkembo ama tsoni e? Nate thangu mbi luela tatamana zodilanga vanga mambu ma phamba ayi tombanga zinzambi zi luvunu e?
3 But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to him.
Luzaba mboti ti Yave wukisobudidi mutu wumosi wunkinzikanga mambu mandi. Yave wela wa mu thangu ndiela kuntela.
4 Stand in awe, and don’t sin. Search your own heart on your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Ku tsi nganzi eno, kadi vola masumu. Mu thangu luidi mu zimbuka zieno, lufiongunina mintima mieno bosi luba dio sui.
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness. Put your trust in the LORD.
Lutambika makaba ma busonga, ayi lutula diana dieno mu Yave.
6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
Bawombo balembo tubi: “Nani wulenda kutumonisa mamboti e?” Bika kiezila ki zizi kiaku kitukienzula, a Yave!
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
Wuwesidi khini yiwombo mu ntimꞌama, viokila yoyi yiba yawu mu thangu baba ble yiwombo ayi vinu kiwombo
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
Ndiela lambadala ayi ndiela leka tulu mu ndembama bila ngeyo veka kaka, a Yave bila ngeyo veka kaka wukuphuandisanga mu luvovomo.
