Psalms 77
1 Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I cried out to the Lord with my voice, to God with my voice, and he attended to me.
Nkunga Asafi kuidi Yedutuni, pfumu wu minyimbidi. Ndiyamikina kuidi Nzambi mu diambu di lusadusu ndiyamikina kuidi Nzambi mu kunguila.
2 In the days of my tribulation, I sought God, with my hands opposite him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be consoled.
Thangu ndiba mu ziphasi, nditomba Yave; va builu ndinonuna mioko miama mu kambu vonga; ayi muelꞌama wumanga bombo.
3 I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away.
Ndietebukila moyo, a Nzambi, ayi ndikunga; ndiyindula mu tsi ntima ayi pheve ama yivonga ngolo.
4 My eyes anticipated the vigils. I was disturbed, and I did not speak.
Wekeba meso mama ma bika zibama, ndiba diaka mu phasi mu tuba.
5 I considered the days of antiquity, and I held the years of eternity in my mind.
Ndiyindula bilumbu bivioka, mimvu mi thama.
6 And I meditated in the night with my heart, and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.
Ndieti tebukila minkunga miama moyo va builu, Ntima ama uyindula ku tsi ntima ayi pheve ama yikiyuvula:
7 So then, will God reject for eternity? Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?
Pfumu wela tumbu loza kuandi mvimba e? Kalendi buela monisa nlemvo andi ko e?
8 Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, from generation to generation?
Luzolo luandi lungolo lusukidi kuandi mvimba e? Zitsila ziandi mu zithangu zioso zikitukidi zi phamba e?
9 And would God ever forget to be merciful? Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies?
Nzambi wuzimbikini kuandi buela monisa nlemvo e? Wuyimini kiadi kiandi mu diambu di nganzi e?
10 And I said, “Now I have begun. This change is from the right hand of the Most High.”
Buna ndiyindula “mu diambu diadi ndiela singimina: mimvu mi koko ku lubakala ku Nzambi yizangama.”
11 I was mindful of the works of the Lord. For I will be mindful from the beginning of your wonders,
Ndiela tebukila moyo mavanga ma Yave, bukiedika ndiela tebukila moyo bikumu biaku bi thama.
12 and I will meditate on all your works. And I will take part in your intentions.
Ndiela yindulanga mu tsi ntima bisalu biaku bioso; ayi ndiela banzilanga mavanga maku moso ma lulendo.
13 Your way, O God, is in what is holy. Which God is great like our God?
Zinzila ziaku, a Nzambi, zidi zinlongo; nzambi mbi widi wunneni banga Nzambi eto e?
14 You are the God who performs miracles. You have made your virtue known among the peoples.
Ngeyo widi Nzambi yimvanganga bikumu; Ngeyo weti monisa lulendo luaku muidi batu.
15 With your arm, you have redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and of Joseph.
Mu koko kuaku ku lulendo wukuidila batu baku, nkuna wu Yakobi ayi wu Zozefi.
16 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, and they were afraid, and the depths were stirred up.
Minlangu mimmona, ngeyo a Nzambi! Minlangu mimona ngeyo, ayi mikotadala zitsina zi minlangu zi nikuka.
17 Great was the sound of the waters. The clouds uttered a voice. For your arrows also pass by.
Matuti madukula minlangu; diyilu diduma mu nzazi madionga maku matotuka ku ntuala ayi ku mbusa.
18 The voice of your thunder is like a wheel. Your flashes have illuminated the whole world. The earth has quaked and trembled.
Zinzazi ziaku ziwakana mu kimbongila; zitsiemo zikienzula ntoto; ntoto wunikuka ayi wutita.
19 Your way is through the sea, and your paths are through many waters. And your traces will not be known.
Nsolo aku wuviokila va khatitsika mbu, nzilꞌaku mu minlangu midi nguma, muna zithambi ziaku zisia monika ko.
20 You have conducted your people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Wudiatisa batu baku banga nkangu wu mamemi, mu koko ku Moyize ayi Aloni.
