Psalms 77

1 For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm by Asaph. My cry goes to God! Indeed, I cry to God for help, and for him to listen to me.

Nkunga Asafi kuidi Yedutuni, pfumu wu minyimbidi. Ndiyamikina kuidi Nzambi mu diambu di lusadusu ndiyamikina kuidi Nzambi mu kunguila.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord. My hand was stretched out in the night, and didn’t get tired. My soul refused to be comforted.

Thangu ndiba mu ziphasi, nditomba Yave; va builu ndinonuna mioko miama mu kambu vonga; ayi muelꞌama wumanga bombo.

3 I remember God, and I groan. I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. (Selah)

Ndietebukila moyo, a Nzambi, ayi ndikunga; ndiyindula mu tsi ntima ayi pheve ama yivonga ngolo.

4 You hold my eyelids open. I am so troubled that I can’t speak.

Wekeba meso mama ma bika zibama, ndiba diaka mu phasi mu tuba.

5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

Ndiyindula bilumbu bivioka, mimvu mi thama.

6 I remember my song in the night. I consider in my own heart; my spirit diligently inquires:

Ndieti tebukila minkunga miama moyo va builu, Ntima ama uyindula ku tsi ntima ayi pheve ama yikiyuvula:

7 “Will the Lord reject us forever? Will he be favorable no more?

Pfumu wela tumbu loza kuandi mvimba e? Kalendi buela monisa nlemvo andi ko e?

8 Has his loving kindness vanished forever? Does his promise fail for generations?

Luzolo luandi lungolo lusukidi kuandi mvimba e? Zitsila ziandi mu zithangu zioso zikitukidi zi phamba e?

9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he, in anger, withheld his compassion?” (Selah)

Nzambi wuzimbikini kuandi buela monisa nlemvo e? Wuyimini kiadi kiandi mu diambu di nganzi e?

10 Then I thought, “I will appeal to this: the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

Buna ndiyindula “mu diambu diadi ndiela singimina: mimvu mi koko ku lubakala ku Nzambi yizangama.”

11 I will remember Yah’s deeds; for I will remember your wonders of old.

Ndiela tebukila moyo mavanga ma Yave, bukiedika ndiela tebukila moyo bikumu biaku bi thama.

12 I will also meditate on all your work, and consider your doings.

Ndiela yindulanga mu tsi ntima bisalu biaku bioso; ayi ndiela banzilanga mavanga maku moso ma lulendo.

13 Your way, God, is in the sanctuary. What god is great like God?

Zinzila ziaku, a Nzambi, zidi zinlongo; nzambi mbi widi wunneni banga Nzambi eto e?

14 You are the God who does wonders. You have made your strength known among the peoples.

Ngeyo widi Nzambi yimvanganga bikumu; Ngeyo weti monisa lulendo luaku muidi batu.

15 You have redeemed your people with your arm, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

Mu koko kuaku ku lulendo wukuidila batu baku, nkuna wu Yakobi ayi wu Zozefi.

16 The waters saw you, God. The waters saw you, and they writhed. The depths also convulsed.

Minlangu mimmona, ngeyo a Nzambi! Minlangu mimona ngeyo, ayi mikotadala zitsina zi minlangu zi nikuka.

17 The clouds poured out water. The skies resounded with thunder. Your arrows also flashed around.

Matuti madukula minlangu; diyilu diduma mu nzazi madionga maku matotuka ku ntuala ayi ku mbusa.

18 The voice of your thunder was in the whirlwind. The lightnings lit up the world. The earth trembled and shook.

Zinzazi ziaku ziwakana mu kimbongila; zitsiemo zikienzula ntoto; ntoto wunikuka ayi wutita.

19 Your way was through the sea, your paths through the great waters. Your footsteps were not known.

Nsolo aku wuviokila va khatitsika mbu, nzilꞌaku mu minlangu midi nguma, muna zithambi ziaku zisia monika ko.

20 You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Wudiatisa batu baku banga nkangu wu mamemi, mu koko ku Moyize ayi Aloni.
