Psalms 81
1 For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. Of Asaph. Sing for joy to God our strength; make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Nkunga Asafi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu ngitala yi basi Ngati. Yimbidilanu Nzambi mu khini; niandi zingolo zieto! Yamikinanu kuidi Nzambi yi Yakobi!
2 Lift up a song, strike the tambourine, play the sweet-sounding harp and lyre.
Tonanu miziki, sikanu zindungu; Bulanu minningu mu Ngitala ayi lu Lila.
3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon, and at the full moon on the day of our Feast.
Sikanu phoka yi dimemi va ntotukila ngondi yi mona; ayi Ngondi bu yidi yiduka ayi mu lumbu ki nyengo eto!
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Yayi yidi nzengolo mu diambu di Iseli, ayi tsikudukusu yi Nzambi yi Yakobi,
5 He ordained it as a testimony for Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard an unfamiliar language:
Wukindisa yawu banga nsiku mu diambu di Zozefi mu thangu kanuanisa tsi yi Ezipite… Kuna tuwa mbembo yoyi tusia sudika ko.
6 “I relieved his shoulder of the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
Tubidi: “Ndibotudi mfuna wubedi va mavangiti mawu. Ayi babotudi pani kibedi mu mioko miandi.
7 You called out in distress, and I rescued you; I answered you from the cloud of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
Mu ziphasi ziaku, ngeyo wutela ayi ndikula ndivana mvutu ku tsi dumu ki matuti nditota ku minlangu mi Meliba.
8 Hear, O My people, and I will warn you: O Israel, if only you would listen to Me!
Wanu beno batu bama, ayi ndiela kululubula: enati beno luzola ku ndimba, a Iseli.
9 There must be no strange god among you, nor shall you bow to a foreign god.
Kulendi ba kadi nzambi yi nzenza ko va khatitsikꞌaku. Kulendi buongimina nzambi yi nzenza ko!
10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
Minu ndidi Yave, Nzambi, yoyi yilutotula mu tsi Ezipite; zibula bumboti munu aku ayi ndiela ku wuwesa.
11 But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.
Vayi batu bama basia zola ku ndimba ko; Iseli kasia kuthumukina ko.
12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
Buna ndiba yekula mu mintima miawu mingolo; mu landakana zikhanu ziawu veka.
13 If only My people would listen to Me, if Israel would follow My ways,
Enati batu bama bandima kuama, enati Iseli wuzola landakana zinzila ziama!
14 how soon I would subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes!
Nganu mu nsualu ndieka tumbu kuba yekudila bambeni ziawu ayi balula koko kuama kuidi bobo beti kuba lenda.
15 Those who hate the LORD would feign obedience, and their doom would last forever.
Bobo beti lenda Yave balenda kukikulula va ntualꞌandi ayi nganu thumbudulu awu yela zingilanga mu zithangu zioso;
16 But I would feed you the finest wheat; with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.”
Vayi nganu ngeyo wudikulu mu ble yilutidi kitoko, mu niosi yintotukila mu ditadi, ndiela kuyukutisila.”
