Psalms 27
1 [A Psalm] of David, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Saviour; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Nkunga Davidi. Yave niandi kiezila kiama ayi phulusu ama. Nani ndilenda mona tsisi e? Yave niandi suamunu kingolo mu luzingu luama. Nani ndilenda mona boma e?
2 When evil-doers drew nigh against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.
Mu thangu batu bambimbi, bela kuiza ku ntualꞌama mu diambu di dia nsuni ama; mu thangu bambeni ziama ayi bobo bandendi bela kuiza kunduanisa, bela bumina thutu ayi bela bua.
3 Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
Ka diambu ko nkangu wu masodi wunzungididi, ntimꞌama wulendi mona tsisi ko; Ka diambu ko mvita yibuidi mu diambu diama, ndilendi zimbisa diana ko.
4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
Kima kimosi ndilomba kuidi Yave, kiawu ndintomba: Thidi vuanda mu bilumbu bioso bi luzingu luama mu nzo Yave, mu diambu nditalanga kitoko ki Yave ayi mu diambu ndintombannga mu nzo andi.
5 For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.
Bila mu lumbu ki ziphasi wela ku kheba mu luvovomo mu buangu kiandi kamvuandanga; wela kutsueka ku tsi Nzoꞌandi yi ngoto; wela kuthedimisa va ditadi di ngolo.
6 And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing even sing psalms to the Lord.
Buna ntu ama wulenda vumuka va yilu bambeni ziama zinzungididi. Mu nzoꞌandi yi ngoto, ndiela tambika makaba mu khini. Ndiela yimbila ayi bula miziki mu diambu di Yave.
7 Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and hearken to me.
Wa mbemboꞌama bu ndilembo tedi, a Yave; wumboni kiadi ayi wuphana mvutu.
8 My heart said to thee, I have diligently sought thy face: thy face, O Lord, I will seek.
Ntimꞌama wutubidi mu diambu diaku: “Tomba zizi kiandi.” Zizi kiaku, a Yave, kiawu ndiela tomba.
9 Turn not thy face away from me, turn not thou away from thy servant in anger: be thou my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.
Kadi kutsueka zizi kiaku. Bika kuka kisadi kiaku mu nganzi. Ngeyo wuba nsadisi ama kadi kumbika, kadi kundiekula. A Nzambi yi Mvulusi ama.
10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.
Ka diambu ko dise diama ayi ngudi ama bandiekudi; Yave wela kundiakula.
11 Teach me, O Lord, in thy way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
Wundonga nzilꞌaku, a Yave ayi wundiatisa mu nsolo wu songa mu diambu di batu bobo beti kundiamisa.
12 Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.
Kadi kundiekula mu luzolo lu batu bobo beti kundenda, bila bambangi ba luvunu zitelimini mu diambu diama, ayi zieti yindula matsita.
13 I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Ndisia diana mu diambu diadi: Ndiela mona mamboti ma Yave va ntoto wu batu badi moyo.
14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let thy heart be strengthened: yea wait on the Lord.
Tadidila Yave! Wukikindisa ayi bika ntimꞌaku wukinda; ayi tadidila Yave.
