Psalms 13

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. How long, O Lord, will you forget me? for ever? how long will you turn away your face from me?

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. A Yave, nate thangu mbi wela tatamana kunzimbakana mu zithangu zioso e? Nate thangu mbi wela kutsuekilanga zizi kiaku e?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, [having] sorrows in my heart daily? how long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Nate thangu mbi ndiela kukinuanisanga mu mayingu mama e? Nate thangu mbi ndiela bela maniongo mu ntimꞌama mu kadika lumbu e? Nate thangu mbi mbeni ama kela ku ndunginanga e?

3 Look on me, listen to me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death;

A Yave, Nzambi ama, wuthadi ayi wuphana mvutu, kienzula meso mama mu diambu ndibika leka tulu tu lufua,

4 lest at any time mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him: my persecutors will exult if ever I should be moved.

mu diambu mbeni ama kabika tuba: “Ndinnungini” ayi muingi batu beti kundenda babika mona khini minu bua.

5 But I have hoped in your mercy; my heart shall exult in your salvation.

Vayi minu tsidi diana mu luzolo luaku lungolo. Ntimꞌama wulembo moni khini mu phulusu aku. Ndiela yimbidila Yave bila niandi wuphangidi mamboti.

6 I will sing to the Lord who has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord most high.
