Psalms 124

1 A Song of the going up. Of David. If it had not been the Lord who was on our side (let Israel now say);

Nkunga Davidi wunyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Bika Iseli katuba: Enati Yave kasia ba ku ndambuꞌeto ko;

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men came up against us;

Enati Yave kasia ba ku ndambu eto ko mu thangu batu batelama mu kutunuanisa;

3 They would have made a meal of us while still living, in the heat of their wrath against us:

mu thangu nganzi awu yitubuila, keti nganu mina batumina bamoyo;

4 We would have been covered by the waters; the streams would have gone over our soul;

khuka nlangu yitumbu kutuvitumuna ayi nguma yi nlangu yitudiamisa,

5 Yes, the waters of pride would have gone over our soul.

minlangu mi nguma mitulalumuna.

6 Praise be to the Lord, who has not let us be wounded by their teeth.

Nzitusu wuba kuidi Yave mutu wowo wukambu kutuyekula batukanzuna mu meno ma miunu miawu.

7 Our soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free.

Tutina banga nuni bu keti tinina mu dikondi di ntambi wu zinuni. Dikondi dikanzuka ayi beto tutina.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

Lusadusu lueto luidi mu dizina di Yave, mvangi wu diyilu ayi ntoto.
