Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
Nkunga Davidi. A Yave, wa lusambulu luama, dimba yamikina kuama mu diambu di kiadi mu kikhuikizi kiaku ayi mu busonga buaku, yiza wutsadisa.
2 And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
Kadi nata kisadi kiaku ku tsambusu; bila kadi mutu wumosi widi moyo widi wusonga va ntualꞌaku.
3 For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
Bila mbeni wulembo ndandakana, wulembo ndiatidila va tsi; niandi wukuphuandisanga mu bibuangu bidi tombi banga batu bobo bafua thama.
4 And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
Buna pheve ama yeka suka-suka mu khati ama; ntimꞌama weka mona tsisi mu khati ama.
5 I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
Ndilembo tebukila moyo bilumbu bivioka. Ndinyindulanga mavanga maku moso ayi fiongunina mavanga ma mioko miaku.
6 I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
Ndinonuna mioko miama kuidi ngeyo. Muelꞌama widi phuila mu kumona banga ntoto wu yuma, bu wididi phuila nlangu.
7 O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
Wuphani mvutu mu nsualu, a Yave pheve ama yilembo yami. Kadi kutsuekila zizi kiaku bila ndieka dedakana banga bobo bankuendanga ku dibulu.
8 Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
Bika nsuka wundatina mambu ma luzolo luaku lu ngolo; bila nditula diana diama mu ngeyo. Wumbonisa nzila yoyi mfueti kuendila bila kuidi ngeyo ndimvumbula muelꞌama.
9 O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
Wukhula mu bambeni ziama, a Yave; bila ndikukisuekanga mu ngeyo.
10 Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
Wundonga mu vanga luzolo luaku bila ngeyo Nzambi ama. Bika pheve aku yimboti yindiatisa mu ntoto wulendumuka.
11 For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
Mu diambu di dizina diaku, a Yave, tamina luzingu luama; mu busonga buaku, bika wuthotula mu ziphasi.
12 And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
Mu luzolo luaku lu ngolo, kanga bambeni ziama; bunga babo bobo beti kundenda, bila ndidi kisadi kiaku.
