Psalms 74
1 A Maskil of Asaph. Why have You rejected us forever, O God? Why does Your anger smolder against the sheep of Your pasture?
Nkunga Asafi. Bila mbi wutulozidi mu zithangu zioso, a Nzambi e? Bila mbi wufuemini minkangu miaku mi mamemi miomi weti dikila e?
2 Remember Your congregation, which You purchased long ago and redeemed as the tribe of Your inheritance— Mount Zion where You dwell.
Tebukila batu baku moyo; bobo wukibakila thama; dikanda di kiuka kiaku, diodi wukula. Mongo wu Sioni, koko wuvuanda.
3 Turn Your steps to the everlasting ruins, to everything in the sanctuary the enemy has destroyed.
Balula zithambi ziaku ku ndambu bibuangu bitiolumunu mu mvu ka mvu. Zimbivusu zioso ziozi mbeni kavanga mu buangu kinlongo.
4 Your foes have roared within Your meeting place; they have unfurled their banners as signs,
Batu balendidi balembo vomi va buangu kioki wutudenginina; batula bidalapo biawu banga dimbu ki ndungunu.
5 like men wielding axes in a thicket of trees
Badi banga batu bannanguna soka mu zenga minti ku nsitu widi khoba.
6 and smashing all the carvings with hatchets and picks.
Bakosikisa mabaya moso momo bamana fikula mu bisoka biawu ayi zi malito ziawu.
7 They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground; they have defiled the dwelling place of Your Name.
Bazinisa buangu kiaku kinlongo mu mbazu; basumuna buangu kieti vuandanga dizina diaku.
8 They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely.” They burned down every place where God met us in the land.
Babedi tubanga mu mintima miawu: “Tuela kuba kosikisa mvimba” Bazinisa mu mbazu bibuangu bioso biobi beti buongimina Nzambi mu tsi.
9 There are no signs for us to see. There is no longer any prophet. And none of us knows how long this will last.
Bakadi kutumonisa kadi kumu kimosi kusiedi mimbikudi ko. Kadi mutu wumosi mu beto zebi keni nate thangu mbi mama mela tatamana bela e?
10 How long, O God, will the enemy taunt You? Will the foe revile Your name forever?
Nate thangu mbi mbeni kela kusekinina, a Nzambi e? Nate thangu mbi mutu wundendidi kela lenzilanga dizina diaku mu zithangu zioso e?
11 Why do You withdraw Your strong right hand? Stretch it out to destroy them!
Bila mbi kangidi koko kuaku, koko kuaku ku lubakala e? Bonga kuawu mu mimfutu mi kukhutu kiaku ayi wuba bungi.
12 Yet God is my King from ancient times, working salvation on the earth.
Vayi ngeyo Nzambi, ngeyo ntinu ama tona muna tona; ngeyo weti nata phulusu va ntoto.
13 You divided the sea by Your strength; You smashed the heads of the dragons of the sea;
Keti ngeyo wuvasa mbu mu lulendo luaku; wukosikisa mintu mi bisimbi bi minlangu;
14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You fed him to the creatures of the desert.
keti ngeyo wukosikisa mintu mi Leviatani, wumvana banga bidia kuidi bibulu bi dikanga
15 You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up the ever-flowing rivers.
Keti ngeyo wuzibula zitho zi minlangu ayi mimvuila mi minlangu Ngeyo wusikisa minlangu minneni miomi mieti kumba mu zithangu zioso.
16 The day is Yours, and also the night; You established the moon and the sun.
Ngeyo vuidi muini, ayi ngeyo vuidi builu; ngeyo wuvanga ngondi ayi thangu.
17 You set all the boundaries of the earth; You made the summer and winter.
Keti ngeyo wumana vanga zindilu zioso zi ntoto, ngeyo wuvanga tsungi yi muini wu ngolo ayi yi kiozi kingolo.
18 Remember how the enemy has mocked You, O LORD, how a foolish people has spurned Your name.
Tebuka moyo buevi mbeni kalembo sekinina, a Yave, buevi bivungisi balenzila dizina diaku!
19 Do not deliver the soul of Your dove to beasts; do not forget the lives of Your afflicted forever.
Kadi yekula luzingu lu dibembi diaku kuidi bibulu bi nganzi ayi kadi thumbu zimbakana luzingu lu batu baku badi mu phasi.
20 Consider Your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land.
Bengudila Nguizani aku thalu; bila bisuamunu biyindulungu makhemi bifulukidi mu bibuangu bitombi bi ntoto.
21 Do not let the oppressed retreat in shame; may the poor and needy praise Your name.
Kadi tala ti mutu wuyamusu kavutuka mu tsoni Bika nkua kiadi ayi nsukami bazitisa dizina diaku.
22 Rise up, O God; defend Your cause! Remember how the fool mocks You all day long.
Telama a Nzambi! Wukinungisa! Tebukila moyo buevi bivungisi bilembo sekinina mu bilumbu bioso.
23 Do not disregard the clamor of Your adversaries, the uproar of Your enemies that ascends continually.
Kadi zimbakana biyoko bi bambeni ziaku divunzi di bambeni ziaku, diodi dilembo buelamanga thangu ka thangu.
