Psalms 13

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me until the end? How long will you turn your face away 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 can I take counsel in my soul, sorrowing in my heart throughout the day?

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 How long will my enemy be exalted over me?

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

4 Look upon me and listen to me, O Lord my God. Enlighten my eyes, lest I fall asleep forever in death,

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

5 lest at any time my enemy may say, “I have prevailed against him.” Those who trouble me will exult, if I have been disturbed.

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

6 But I have hoped in your mercy. My heart will exult in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, who assigns good things to me. And I will sing psalms to the name of the Lord Most High.
