Psalms 18
1 For the choirmaster. Of David the servant of the LORD, who sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love You, O LORD, my strength.
Nkunga Davidi, kisadi ki Yave, kuidi Pfumu minyimbidi. Wuyimbila nkunga wawu mu diambu di Yave mu thangu Yave kankula mu mioko mi bambeni bandi ayi mu mioko mi Sawuli. Yave, ndikuzolanga, ngeyo zingolo ziama.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
A Yave, niandi ditadi diama, tinunu kiama ki ngolo, ayi ngeyo nkudi ama. Nzambi ama, niandi ditadi diama; mu niandi ndintombila suamunu, niandi nkaku ama, ayi phoka yi phulusu ama, ayi tinunu kiama ki zangama.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
Ndiela tela Yave, niandi fueni mu zitusu ayi ndiela vuka mu bambeni ziama.
4 The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
Minsinga mi lufua mimfietikisa. Bosi khuka nlangu yimbunganga yimbuila mu kinzimbukila.
Minsinga mi tsi bafua minzingalakana. Mintambu mi lufua mi lekama ku ntualꞌama. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.
Mu ziphasi ziama, nditela Yave Ndiyamikina kuidi Nzambi ama mu tomba lusadusu wuwa mbemboꞌama tona kuna nzoꞌandi, ayi yamikina kuama kutula va ntualꞌandi, mu matu mandi.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
Buna ntoto wunikuka ayi wutita. Zifondasio zi miongo zinikunu ayi zinikuka, bila wuba wufuema ngolo.
8 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
Muisi wutotuka mu mayilu mandi, ayi mbazu yi nlalikisanga yitotuka mu munuꞌandi; muawu mu totukila makala ma mbazu.
9 He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
Wukulula diyilu ayi wukuluka, ayi matuti ma ndombe maba ku tsi malu mandi.
10 He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
Wukuma va yilu kheluba ayi wudumuka. Wuvevumuka va yilu mavavi ma phemo.
11 He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.
Wukitula tombi buangu kiandi kisuamina; kapu andi yiba kunzungidila, tombi kinokisa mvula yi matuti ma diyilu.
12 From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced— hailstones and coals of fire.
Mu kiezila kiba va ntualꞌandi mutotukila matuti, mvula yi matadi ayi zitsiemo.
13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded— hailstones and coals of fire.
Yave wuduma tona mu Diyilu; mbembo yi Nzambi yizangama yiwakakana.
14 He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
Niandi wuloza madionga mandi ayi wusasikisa bambeni; zitsiemo zinneni ayi wuba zimbikisa nzila.
15 The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
Tsi nlangu yi mbu yimonika, ayi zifondasio zi ntoto zimonika ngeyo Yave bu wutema mu phemo yitotukila mu mayilu maku.
16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
Wunonuna koko kuandi tona ku yilu ayi wutsimba, wuthotula mu minlangu minneni midi thipula.
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
Niandi wukhula mu mbeni ama yingolo, ayi mu batu bobo bandenda bila bawu bandutila ngolo.
18 They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Bawu banduanisa mu lumbu ki ndiba mu mabienga, vayi Yave niandi wuba singumunu kiama.
19 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
Niandi wuthotula ayi wuthula va buangu kikambulu tsisi; wukhula bila khini kaba monanga mu minu.
20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
Yave wuphangidi bobo boso buididi busonga buama; wupheni mfutu boso buididi vedila ku mioko miama
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Bila ndikebidi zinzila zi Yave ayi ndisia tamba Nzambi ama mbusa ko mu diambu di vanga mambimbi.
22 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
Mina miandi mioso midi va ntualꞌama ayi ndisia vengama ko mu zithumunu ziandi.
23 And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
Ndiba mutu wukambu tsembolo va ntualꞌandi Ndikikeba mu diambu di masumu.
24 So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
Yave wupheni mfutu boso buididi busonga buama, boso buididi vedila ku mioko miama va ntuala meso mandi.
25 To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
Kuidi mutu widi wukuikama, ngeyo wukukimonisanga wukuikama. Kuidi mutu wukambulu tsembolo ngeyo wukukimonisanga mutu wukambulu tsembolo.
26 to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
Kuidi mutu wuvedila, wukukimonisanga wuvedila. Kuidi mutu wumbimbi, wukukimonisanga wumbimbi.
27 For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.
Ngeyo wumvukisanga batu beti kukikula ayi wunkululanga meso madi luyanu.
28 For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.
Ngeyo a Yave, keba muindꞌama wuba wulema A Nzambiꞌama, kitula tombi kiama; kikituka kiezila.
29 For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.
Mu lusadusu luaku ndilenda nuanisa nkangu masodi, va kimosi ayi Nzambi ama, ndilenda dumuka baka kikunzama.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Kuidi Nzambi, nzilꞌandi yidi yi fuana, mambu ma Yave madi ma kiedika. Niandi nkaku wu batu boso bobo bansuaminanga mu niandi.
31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
Bila nani Nzambi, enati ka Yave ko e? Ayi nani ditadi di ngolo, enati ka Nzambi eto ko e?
32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.
Nzambi, niandi wukuphananga ngolo ayi wunkitulanga nzilꞌama yi fuana.
33 He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
Wunkitulanga malu mama banga malu ma tsesi, ayi wukuthelimisanga va bibuangu biama bizangama.
34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
Wunlongisanga mioko miama mu nuana mvita, mioko miama milenda leka mbasa wusengo.
35 You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.
Wuphana nkaku aku wu ndungunu, ayi koko kuaku ku lubakala kukhindisa ayi wukuluka mu diambu di kukhitula mutu wunneni.
36 You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
Ngeyo wukubikidi nsolo wuyalumuka ku tsi bitambi biama, muingi bikodi biama bibika visuka.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
Ndikuka bambeni ziama ayi ndizibakidila. Ndisia vutuka manima ko enati ndisia mana kuzivonda.
38 I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
Ndiba kosikisa ayi basia buela baka bu telimina ko; babua ku tsi malu mama.
39 You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
Ngeyo wuphana zingolo zi nuanina mvita; Ngeyo weti komvika batu beti kundenda ku tsi malu mama.
40 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
Ngeyo wuntinisanga bambeni ziama va ntualꞌama ayi ndibunga bobo bakundendanga.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
Bayamikina mu tomba lusadusu, vayi kadi mutu mu kuba vukisa. Bayamikina kuidi Yave vayi kasia ku bavutudila mvutu ko.
42 I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
Ndiba kosikisa banga mbungi-mbungi yeti vevumunu kuidi phemo. Ndiba loza thama banga nyamba wu zinzila.
43 You have delivered me from the strife of the people; You have made me the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
Wukhula mu minzonza mi batu, ayi wukhitula ntu wu makanda; batu bobo ndisia zaba ko, bawu ndiela yadila.
44 When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.
Bu batumbu kungua bathumukina; banzenza zikikulula va ntualꞌama.
45 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
Zinzenza zilembo vongi, balembo titi sumbu bantotuka mu bibuangu biawu bisuama ngolo.
46 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—
Yave wulembo zingi Nzitusu wuba kuidi ditadi diama yayusu kuba kuidi Nzambi Mvulusi ama.
47 the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,
Niandi Nzambi wukuphutudilanga landi; ayi wutula makanda ku tsi luyalu luama.
48 who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
Wuphukisa mi bambeni ziama, Ngeyo wundiayisa va yilu batu bobo bandenda. Ngeyo wukhula mu batu ba matsita.
49 Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
Diawu ngeyo Yave, ndiela ku zitisa va khatitsika makanda. Ndiela yimbila minzitusu mu diambu di dizina diaku.
50 Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
Niandi wuvana ndungunu yinneni kuidi ntinu andi ayi wummonisanga mamboti mandi ma ngolo kuidi mutu andi kavinda mafuta, kuidi Davidi ayi nkuna andi mu zithangu zioso.
