Psalms 121

1 Nkunga wuyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Ndimvumbulanga meso mama ku miongo, kuevi kuela totukila lusadusu luama e?

A Song of Degrees. I lifted up mine eyes to the mountains, whence my help shall come.

2 Lusadusu luama luntotukila kuidi Yave; mvangi wu diyilu ayi ntoto.

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

3 Kalendi bika ko kulu kuaku kusialumuka; mutu wowo weti kukebanga kalendi niungina ko.

Let not your foot be moved; and let not your keeper slumber.

4 Bukiedika, mutu wowo weti sunga Iseli, kalendi niungina ko voti leka tulu ko

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall not slumber nor sleep.

5 Yave niandi wukusunganga, niandi kitsusula kiaku va koko kuaku ku lubakala.

The Lord shall keep you: the Lord is your shelter upon your right hand.

6 Thangu yilendi ku vanga ko mbimbi va muini voti ngondi va builu.

The sun shall not burn you by day, neither the moon by night.

7 Yave wela kukebanga mu mambimbi moso, niandi wela sunganga luzingu luaku.

May the Lord preserve you from all evil: the Lord shall keep your soul.

8 Yave wela kusunga mu kuiza kuaku ayi mu kuenda kuaku tona buabu nate mu zithangu zioso.

The Lord shall keep your coming in, and your going out, from henceforth and even for ever.
