Psalms 18
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David, the servant of the Lord; [the words] which he spoke to the Lord, [even] the words of this Song, in the day in which the Lord delivered him out the hand of all his enemies, and out the hand of Saul: and he said: I will love you, O Lord, my strength.
Nkunga Davidi, kisadi ki Yave, kuidi Pfumu minyimbidi. Wuyimbila nkunga wawu mu diambu di Yave mu thangu Yave kankula mu mioko mi bambeni bandi ayi mu mioko mi Sawuli. Yave, ndikuzolanga, ngeyo zingolo ziama.
2 The Lord is my firm support, and my refuge, and my deliverer; my God is my helper, I will hope in him; [he is] my defender, and the horn of my salvation, and my helper.
A Yave, niandi ditadi diama, tinunu kiama ki ngolo, ayi ngeyo nkudi ama. Nzambi ama, niandi ditadi diama; mu niandi ndintombila suamunu, niandi nkaku ama, ayi phoka yi phulusu ama, ayi tinunu kiama ki zangama.
3 I will call upon the Lord with praises, and I shall be saved from mine enemies.
Ndiela tela Yave, niandi fueni mu zitusu ayi ndiela vuka mu bambeni ziama.
4 The pangs of death compassed me, and the torrents of ungodliness troubled me exceedingly.
Minsinga mi lufua mimfietikisa. Bosi khuka nlangu yimbunganga yimbuila mu kinzimbukila.
Minsinga mi tsi bafua minzingalakana. Mintambu mi lufua mi lekama ku ntualꞌama. (Sheol h7585)
6 And when I was afflicted I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: he heard my voice out of this holy temple, and my cry shall enter before him, [even] into his ears.
Mu ziphasi ziama, nditela Yave Ndiyamikina kuidi Nzambi ama mu tomba lusadusu wuwa mbemboꞌama tona kuna nzoꞌandi, ayi yamikina kuama kutula va ntualꞌandi, mu matu mandi.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains were disturbed, and were shaken, because God was angry with them.
Buna ntoto wunikuka ayi wutita. Zifondasio zi miongo zinikunu ayi zinikuka, bila wuba wufuema ngolo.
8 There went up a smoke in his wrath, and fire burst into a flame at his presence: coals were kindled at it.
Muisi wutotuka mu mayilu mandi, ayi mbazu yi nlalikisanga yitotuka mu munuꞌandi; muawu mu totukila makala ma mbazu.
9 And he bowed the heaven, and came down: and thick darkness was under his feet.
Wukulula diyilu ayi wukuluka, ayi matuti ma ndombe maba ku tsi malu mandi.
10 And he mounted on cherubs and flew: he flew on the wings of winds.
Wukuma va yilu kheluba ayi wudumuka. Wuvevumuka va yilu mavavi ma phemo.
11 And he made darkness his secret place: round about him was his tabernacle, [even] dark water in the clouds of the air.
Wukitula tombi buangu kiandi kisuamina; kapu andi yiba kunzungidila, tombi kinokisa mvula yi matuti ma diyilu.
12 At the brightness before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.
Mu kiezila kiba va ntualꞌandi mutotukila matuti, mvula yi matadi ayi zitsiemo.
13 The Lord also thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered his voice.
Yave wuduma tona mu Diyilu; mbembo yi Nzambi yizangama yiwakakana.
14 And he sent forth [his] weapons, and scattered them; and multiplied lightnings, and routed them.
Niandi wuloza madionga mandi ayi wusasikisa bambeni; zitsiemo zinneni ayi wuba zimbikisa nzila.
15 And the springs of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of your wrath.
Tsi nlangu yi mbu yimonika, ayi zifondasio zi ntoto zimonika ngeyo Yave bu wutema mu phemo yitotukila mu mayilu maku.
16 He sent from on high and took me, he drew me to himself out of many waters.
Wunonuna koko kuandi tona ku yilu ayi wutsimba, wuthotula mu minlangu minneni midi thipula.
17 He will deliver me from my mighty enemies, and from them that hate me; for they are stronger than I.
Niandi wukhula mu mbeni ama yingolo, ayi mu batu bobo bandenda bila bawu bandutila ngolo.
18 They prevented me in the day of mine affliction: but the Lord was my stay against [them].
Bawu banduanisa mu lumbu ki ndiba mu mabienga, vayi Yave niandi wuba singumunu kiama.
19 And he brought me out into a wide place: he will deliver me, because he has pleasure in me.
Niandi wuthotula ayi wuthula va buangu kikambulu tsisi; wukhula bila khini kaba monanga mu minu.
20 And the Lord will recompense me according to my righteousness; even according to the purity of my hands will he recompense me.
Yave wuphangidi bobo boso buididi busonga buama; wupheni mfutu boso buididi vedila ku mioko miama
21 For I have kept the way of the Lord and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Bila ndikebidi zinzila zi Yave ayi ndisia tamba Nzambi ama mbusa ko mu diambu di vanga mambimbi.
22 For all his judgements were before me, and his ordinances departed not from me.
Mina miandi mioso midi va ntualꞌama ayi ndisia vengama ko mu zithumunu ziandi.
23 And I shall be blameless with hem, and shall keep myself from mine iniquity.
Ndiba mutu wukambu tsembolo va ntualꞌandi Ndikikeba mu diambu di masumu.
24 And the Lord shall recompense me according to my righteousness, and according to the purity of my hands before his eyes.
Yave wupheni mfutu boso buididi busonga buama, boso buididi vedila ku mioko miama va ntuala meso mandi.
25 With the holy you will be holy; and with the innocent man you will be innocent.
Kuidi mutu widi wukuikama, ngeyo wukukimonisanga wukuikama. Kuidi mutu wukambulu tsembolo ngeyo wukukimonisanga mutu wukambulu tsembolo.
26 And with the excellent [man] you will be excellent; and with the perverse you will show frowardness.
Kuidi mutu wuvedila, wukukimonisanga wuvedila. Kuidi mutu wumbimbi, wukukimonisanga wumbimbi.
27 For you will save the lowly people, and will humble the eyes of the proud.
Ngeyo wumvukisanga batu beti kukikula ayi wunkululanga meso madi luyanu.
28 For you, O Lord, will light my lamp: my God, you will lighten my darkness.
Ngeyo a Yave, keba muindꞌama wuba wulema A Nzambiꞌama, kitula tombi kiama; kikituka kiezila.
29 For by you shall I be delivered from a troop; and by my God I will pass over a wall.
Mu lusadusu luaku ndilenda nuanisa nkangu masodi, va kimosi ayi Nzambi ama, ndilenda dumuka baka kikunzama.
30 [As for] my God, his way is perfect: the oracles of the Lord are tried in the fire; he is a protector of all them that hope in him.
Kuidi Nzambi, nzilꞌandi yidi yi fuana, mambu ma Yave madi ma kiedika. Niandi nkaku wu batu boso bobo bansuaminanga mu niandi.
31 For who is God but the Lord? and who is a God except our God?
Bila nani Nzambi, enati ka Yave ko e? Ayi nani ditadi di ngolo, enati ka Nzambi eto ko e?
32 [It is] God that girds me with strength, and has made my way blameless:
Nzambi, niandi wukuphananga ngolo ayi wunkitulanga nzilꞌama yi fuana.
33 who strengthens my feet as hart's feet, and sets me upon high places.
Wunkitulanga malu mama banga malu ma tsesi, ayi wukuthelimisanga va bibuangu biama bizangama.
34 He instructs my hands for war: and you have made my arms [as] a brazen bow.
Wunlongisanga mioko miama mu nuana mvita, mioko miama milenda leka mbasa wusengo.
35 And you have made me secure in my salvation: and your right hand has helped me, and your correction has upheld me to the end; yes, your correction itself shall instruct me.
Wuphana nkaku aku wu ndungunu, ayi koko kuaku ku lubakala kukhindisa ayi wukuluka mu diambu di kukhitula mutu wunneni.
36 You has made room for my goings under me, and by footsteps did not fail.
Ngeyo wukubikidi nsolo wuyalumuka ku tsi bitambi biama, muingi bikodi biama bibika visuka.
37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them; and I will not turn back until they are consumed.
Ndikuka bambeni ziama ayi ndizibakidila. Ndisia vutuka manima ko enati ndisia mana kuzivonda.
38 I will dash them to pieces and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
Ndiba kosikisa ayi basia buela baka bu telimina ko; babua ku tsi malu mama.
39 For you have girded me with strength for war: you have beaten down under me all that rose up against me.
Ngeyo wuphana zingolo zi nuanina mvita; Ngeyo weti komvika batu beti kundenda ku tsi malu mama.
40 And you has made mine enemies turn their backs before me; and you have destroyed them that hated me.
Ngeyo wuntinisanga bambeni ziama va ntualꞌama ayi ndibunga bobo bakundendanga.
41 They cried, but there was no deliverer: [even] to the Lord, but he listened not to them.
Bayamikina mu tomba lusadusu, vayi kadi mutu mu kuba vukisa. Bayamikina kuidi Yave vayi kasia ku bavutudila mvutu ko.
42 I will grind them as the mud of the streets: and I will beat them small as dust before the wind.
Ndiba kosikisa banga mbungi-mbungi yeti vevumunu kuidi phemo. Ndiba loza thama banga nyamba wu zinzila.
43 Deliver me from the gain sayings of the people: you shall make me head of the Gentiles: a people whom I knew not served me,
Wukhula mu minzonza mi batu, ayi wukhitula ntu wu makanda; batu bobo ndisia zaba ko, bawu ndiela yadila.
44 at the hearing of the ear they obeyed me: the strange children lied to me.
Bu batumbu kungua bathumukina; banzenza zikikulula va ntualꞌama.
45 The strange children waxed old, and fell away from their paths through lameness.
Zinzenza zilembo vongi, balembo titi sumbu bantotuka mu bibuangu biawu bisuama ngolo.
46 The Lord lives; and blessed [be] my God; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Yave wulembo zingi Nzitusu wuba kuidi ditadi diama yayusu kuba kuidi Nzambi Mvulusi ama.
47 [It is] God that avenges me, and has subdued the nations under me;
Niandi Nzambi wukuphutudilanga landi; ayi wutula makanda ku tsi luyalu luama.
48 my deliverer from angry enemies: you shall set me on high above them that rise up against me: you shall deliver me from the unrighteous man.
Wuphukisa mi bambeni ziama, Ngeyo wundiayisa va yilu batu bobo bandenda. Ngeyo wukhula mu batu ba matsita.
49 Therefore will I confess to you, O Lord, amongst the Gentiles, and sing to your name.
Diawu ngeyo Yave, ndiela ku zitisa va khatitsika makanda. Ndiela yimbila minzitusu mu diambu di dizina diaku.
50 [God] magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
Niandi wuvana ndungunu yinneni kuidi ntinu andi ayi wummonisanga mamboti mandi ma ngolo kuidi mutu andi kavinda mafuta, kuidi Davidi ayi nkuna andi mu zithangu zioso.
