Psalms 68
1 Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Bika Nzambi katelama; bika bambeni bandi zisasukusu ayi bobo beti kunlenda bantina va ntualꞌandi.
For the end, a Psalm of a Song by David. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before him.
2 Banga bueti lalikinina muisi mu phemo, bika wuba lalikisa; banga bueta siutila sile ku mbazu bika batu bambimbi babungana va meso ma Nzambi.
As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God.
3 Vayi bika batu basonga bamona khini; ayi bayangalala va ntuala Nzambi, bika bamona mayangi ayi khini yingolo.
But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before God: let them be delighted with joy.
4 Yimbidilanu Nzambi; yimbidilanu minzitusu mu diambu di dizina diandi; yayisanu mutu wowo wundiatila va phunda mu matuti Dizina diandi Yave; ayi lumona khini va ntualꞌandi.
Sing to God, sing praises to his name: make a way for him that rides upon the west (the Lord is his name) and exult before him. They shall be troubled before the face of him,
5 Nzambi niandi widi dise di bisana ayi niandi weti nuanina mafuola. Mu buangu kiandi kinlongo kioki keti vuanda.
[who is] the father of the orphans, and judge of the widows: [such is] God in his holy place.
6 Nzambi wumvananga dikanda kuidi bobo badi bawu veka; niandi weti tuadisa basi nloko mu ngimbudulu vayi bankua matingu bawu banzingilanga mu ntoto wu yuma.
God settles the solitary in a house; leading forth prisoners mightily, also them that act provokingly, [even] them that dwell in tombs.
7 Mu thangu wutuaminina batu baku ku ntuala, a Nzambi, mu thangu mu dikanga,
O God, when you went forth before your people, when you went through the wilderness; (Pause)
8 ntoto wunikuka, diyilu dinokisa mvula va ntualꞌaku. Va ntuala Nzambi, mutu wu Sinayi va ntuala Nzambi, Nzambi yi Iseli.
the earth quaked, yes, the heavens dropped [water] at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
9 Ngeyo wunokisa masala mawombo, a Nzambi; ngeyo wukindisa kiuka kiaku mu thangu kivonga.
O God, you will grant to your inheritance a gracious rain; for it was weary, but you did refresh it.
10 Batu baku bavuanda muawu A Nzambi, mu mamboti maku, ngeyo wukubika bima mu diambu di nsukami.
Your creatures dwell in it: you have in your goodness prepared for the poor.
11 Yave wutuba diambu dimosi: batu bawombo bamonika mu yamikisa mawu.
The Lord God will give a word to them that preach [it] in a great company.
12 Mintinu ayi minkangu mi masodi milembo tini mu thinu nsualu, mu bika bi batu, batu bakabula biobi baziona mu mvita.
The king of the forces of the beloved, of the beloved, [will] even [grant them] for the beauty of the house to divide the spoils.
13 Lukidi kueno leki va khatitsika bidikulu bi bibulu mavavi ma dibembi diama mavindu palata, zitsala ziandi zivindu nolo yilembo lezama.
Even if you should lie among the lots, [you shall have] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her breast with yellow gold.
14 Thangu Nzambi nkua ngolo yoso kasasikisa mintinu va ntoto, yiba banga yi matadi ma phembi.
When the heavenly One scatters kings upon it, they shall be made snow-white in Selmon.
15 Miongo mi Basani midi miongo mi nzitusu; miongo mi Basani midi miongo midi zitsongi ziwombo.
The mountain of God is a rich mountain; a swelling mountain, a rich mountain.
16 A bila mbi luntadila mu kikhenene, e beno miongo midi zitsongi ziwombo; mongo wowo kasobula mu yadila, kuna niandi veka Yave kela vuandanga mu zithangu zioso.
Therefore do you conceive [evil], you swelling mountains? [this is] the mountain which God has delighted to dwell in; yes, the Lord will dwell [in it] for ever.
17 Matoma ma mvita ma Yave madi dikumi di zimili ayi zimili yi zimili; Yave wutotukila ku Sinayi mu buangu kiandi kinlongo.
The chariots of God are ten thousand fold, thousands of rejoicing ones: the Lord is among them, in Sina, in the holy place.
18 Thangu wukuma ku yilu, wunata mu ntandꞌaku batu bakangama. Wutambula makaba kuidi batu ayi kuidi bankua matingu muingi ngeyo, a Yave Nzambi wuvuanda kuna.
You are gone up on high, you have led captivity captive, you have received gifts for man, yes, for [they were] rebellious, that you might dwell among them.
19 Nzitusu kuidi Yave, kuidi Nzambi mvulusi eto. Niandi weti kutunatina bizitu bieto lumbu ka lumbu. Niandi Nzambi wukutuvananga phulusu.
Blessed be the Lord God, blessed be the Lord daily; and the God of our salvation shall prosper us. (Pause)
20 Nzambi eto widi Nzambi weti vukisa. Yave, mutu wumvanganga momo kazodidi, wumvukisanga mu lufua.
Our God is the God of salvation; and to the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 Bukiedika, Nzambi wela kosikisa mintu mi bambeni bandi; wela kosikisa mintu mi batu bobo badi zitsuki ziwombo, bobo bandiatilanga mu masumu mawu.
But God shall crust the heads of his enemies; the hairy crown of them that go on in their trespasses.
22 Pfumu tubidi: “Ndiela kuba totula mu Basani, ndiela kuba totula ku tsina yi mbu,
The Lord said, I will bring again from Basan, I will bring [my people] again through the depths of the sea.
23 Muingi wubuika malu maku mu menga ma bobo beti kulenda ayi ludimi lu zimbua ziaku lubaka kuku kiawu.”
That your foot may be dipped in blood, [and] the tongue of your dogs [be stained] with that of [your] enemies.
24 Ndiatulu aku yimonika, a Nzambi. Ndiatulu yi Nzambi ama, ayi yi ntinu ama mu buangu kinlongo.
Your goings, O God, have been seen; the goings of my God, the king, in the sanctuary.
25 Minyimbidi miba ku ntuala; bosi minsiki mi miziki miba landakana, miba va kimosi bana ba baketo bansika zindungu.
The princes went first, next before the players on instruments, in the midst of damsels playing on timbrels.
26 Bika luzitisa Nzambi mu lukutukunu lunneni, Luzitisa Yave mu dikabu di Iseli!
Praise God in the congregations, the Lord from the fountains of Israel.
27 Kuna kuidi dikanda di fioti di Benzami, wuba tuadisa, kuna kuba batu bawombo banneni ba Yuda ayi batu banneni ba Zabuloni ayi ba Nefitali.
There is Benjamin the younger [one] in ecstasy, the princes of Juda their rulers, the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
28 Tumina lulendo luaku, a Nzambi. Wutumonisa zingolo ziaku, a Nzambi banga bobo wutuama vangila.
O God, command you your strength: strengthen, O God, this which you have wrought in us.
29 Mu diambu di nzo aku ku Yelusalemi; mintinu miela kunatina makaba.
Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to you.
30 Tubidila bulu va khatitsika masoso nkangu zingombi zi mbakala va khatitsika bana zingombi zi makanda. Bu kakululu, wulenda nata bitini bi palata. Sasikisa makanda mona khini mu nuana mvita!
Rebuke the wild beasts of the reed: let the crowd of bulls with the heifers of the nations [be rebuked], so that they who have been proved with silver may not be shut out: scatter you the nations that wish for wars.
31 Batu bafidusu bela totukila mu Ezipite; Kusi wela kukiyekula niandi veka ku tsi minsua mi Nzambi.
Ambassadors shall arrive out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten [to stretch out] her hand readily to God.
32 Yimbidilanu Nzambi beno bipfumu bi ntoto; yimbilanu minzitusu kuidi Yave;
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; sing psalms to the Lord. (Pause)
33 Kuidi mutu wowo wundiatila banga va mbata phunda mu diyilu, mu diyilu di khulu. Mutu wowo wulembo dumu mu mbembo yi lulendo.
Sing to God that rides on the heaven of heaven, eastward: behold, he will utter a mighty sound with his voice.
34 Luyamikisa lulendo lu Nzambi nzitusu andi widi va mbata Iseli lulendo luandi luidi mu matuti.
Give you glory to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.
35 Tsisi widi, a Nzambi, mu buangu kiaku kinlongo. Nzambi yi Iseli niandi weti vana lulendo ayi zingolo kuidi batu bandi. Nzitusu wuba kuidi Nzambi.
God is wonderful in his holy [places], the God of Israel: he will give power and strength to his people: blessed be God.
