Psalms 32
1 [A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.
Nkunga Davidi. Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo wulemvokolo nzimbalꞌandi; masumu mandi mafukulu.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.
Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo Yave kankambu ntangila disumu diandi, ayi kambulu bukhita mu pheve andi.
3 Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
Bu ndiba dio sui, mimvesi miama milebakana mu kunga ku ndiba nkunga mu lumbu kimvimba.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)
Bila muini ayi builu koko kuaku ziku kuba va minu. Zingolo ziama zisukidi banga mu thangu yi muini wu ngolo.
5 I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and thou forgavest the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)
Buna ndizabikisa disumu diama, ndisia fuka mambimbi mama ko. Ndituba: “Ndiela lomba nlemvo mu zinzimbala ziama kuidi Yave.” Buna ngeyo wulemvukila mambimbi ma disumu diama.
6 Therefore shall every holy one pray to thee in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come nigh to him.
Buna diawu bika woso mutu wunkinzikanga mambu maku, wela kusambila mu thangu yoyi kalenda kubakula. Bukiedika mu thangu yi khuka nlangu yingolo milendi kunlalumuna ko.
7 Thou art my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)
Ngeyo buangu kiama kieti kutsueka; ngeyo weti kukheba mu ziphasi. Ngeyo wukunzungidilanga mu minkunga mi khudulu.
8 I will instruct thee and guide thee in this way wherein thou shalt go: I will fix mine eyes upon thee.
“Ndiela kumonisa ayi kulonga nzila yoyi fueti diatila, ndiela kuvana ndongi ayi thaluꞌama yela ba vadi ngeyo.
9 Be ye not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but thou must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come nigh to thee.
Kadi ba banga phunda voti banga bulu kioki bantedilanga ‘mule’; bibulu bikondolo diela, vayi biobi binkangungu nsinga ayi sengo mu munu bila nganu bilenda fikama va widi.”
10 Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
Mabienga mawombo madi mu diambu di mutu wumbimbi; vayi luzolo lu ngolo lu ma Yave lunzungidilanga mutu wowo wuntulanga diana diandi mu niandi.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and exult, ye righteous: and glory, all ye that are upright in heart.
Monanu khini ayi luyangadala mu Yave beno basonga. Luyimbila, beno boso luidi balulama mu mintima.
