< Psalms 123 >
1 A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to You, the One enthroned in heaven.
Nkunga wunyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Ndimvumbula meso mama kuidi ngeyo Yave ngeyo beki kundu kiaku ki Kipfumu mu diyilu.
2 As the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant look to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes are on the LORD our God until He shows us mercy.
Banga meso ma bavika meti tala mioko mi bapfumu bawu; banga meso ma kisadi kinketo mantalanga mioko mi pfumu andi wu nketo; buawu bobo meso meto mantadilanga kuidi Yave, Nzambi eto, nate kela kutumona kiadi.
3 Have mercy on us, O LORD, have mercy, for we have endured much contempt.
Wutumoni kiadi, a Yave, wutumoni kiadi bila nlenzo wuwombo tutambudi.
4 We have endured much scorn from the arrogant, much contempt from the proud.
Mvuezolo wuwombo tutambula kuidi bankua luniemo; nlenzo wuwombo kuidi bankua lunangu.
