< Psalms 16 >
1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I take refuge.
Nkunga Davidi. A Nzambi, wukheba mu luvovomo bila kuidi ngeyo nditombila suamunu.
2 I said to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from You I have no good thing.”
Kuidi Yave ndituba: “Ngeyo Pfumu ama, kuidi ngeyo kaka kueti banga mamboti mama.”
3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellence in whom all my delight resides.
Mu diambu di banlongo bobo badi mu tsi; bawu batu banzitusu. Khini yiwombo baku mbonisanga.
4 Sorrows will multiply to those who chase other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood, or speak their names with my lips.
Bobo banlandakananga zinzambi zinkaka kiadi kiawu kiela buelama, voti ndilendi tambika makaba mawu ma menga ko, Ndilendi tanga mazina mawu mu bididi biama ko.
5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure.
Yave ngeyo wuphana ndambu yi kiuka kiama, ayi mbungu ama, ngeyo wunkebanga kuku kiama mu luvovomo.
6 The lines of my boundary have fallen in pleasant places; surely my inheritance is delightful.
Zindili zikubuku mu diambu diama mu buangu bidi kitoko; bukiedika, thambudi kiuka ki mboti.
7 I will bless the LORD who counsels me; even at night my conscience instructs me.
Ndiela zitisa Yave; wukuphananga malongi ntimꞌama wukundonganga mu builu,
8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Ndieti tula Yave ku ntualꞌama mu zithangu zioso bila widi ku koko kuama ku lubakala, ndilendi nikuka ko.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will dwell securely.
Diawu ntimꞌama wididi mu khini; ludimi luama lueti yangalala ayi nitu ama yela vunda mu luvovomo;
10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol, nor will You let Your Holy One see decay. (Sheol )
Bila ngeyo wulendi kundiekula ko ku tsi bafua, ayi wulendi tala ko mutu aku wunlongo kabola. (Sheol )
11 You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.
Ngeyo wumbonisa nsolo wu luzingu; zikhini ziwombo zidi va ntuala zizi kiaku. Wela kumbonisa khini va meso maku va kimosi ayi zikhini zika zisukanga ko zidi va koko kuaku ku lubakala.
