Psalms 81
1 Unto the end. For the wine and oil presses. A Psalm of Asaph himself. Exult before God our helper. Sing joyfully to the God of Jacob.
Nkunga Asafi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu ngitala yi basi Ngati. Yimbidilanu Nzambi mu khini; niandi zingolo zieto! Yamikinanu kuidi Nzambi yi Yakobi!
2 Take up a psalm, and bring forth the timbrel: a pleasing Psalter with stringed instruments.
Tonanu miziki, sikanu zindungu; Bulanu minningu mu Ngitala ayi lu Lila.
3 Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,
Sikanu phoka yi dimemi va ntotukila ngondi yi mona; ayi Ngondi bu yidi yiduka ayi mu lumbu ki nyengo eto!
4 for it is a precept in Israel and a judgment for the God of Jacob.
Yayi yidi nzengolo mu diambu di Iseli, ayi tsikudukusu yi Nzambi yi Yakobi,
5 He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.
Wukindisa yawu banga nsiku mu diambu di Zozefi mu thangu kanuanisa tsi yi Ezipite… Kuna tuwa mbembo yoyi tusia sudika ko.
6 He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.
Tubidi: “Ndibotudi mfuna wubedi va mavangiti mawu. Ayi babotudi pani kibedi mu mioko miandi.
7 You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.
Mu ziphasi ziaku, ngeyo wutela ayi ndikula ndivana mvutu ku tsi dumu ki matuti nditota ku minlangu mi Meliba.
8 My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,
Wanu beno batu bama, ayi ndiela kululubula: enati beno luzola ku ndimba, a Iseli.
9 then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.
Kulendi ba kadi nzambi yi nzenza ko va khatitsikꞌaku. Kulendi buongimina nzambi yi nzenza ko!
10 For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.
Minu ndidi Yave, Nzambi, yoyi yilutotula mu tsi Ezipite; zibula bumboti munu aku ayi ndiela ku wuwesa.
11 But my people did not hear my voice, and Israel was not attentive to me.
Vayi batu bama basia zola ku ndimba ko; Iseli kasia kuthumukina ko.
12 And so, I sent them away, according to the desires of their heart. They will go forth according to their own inventions.
Buna ndiba yekula mu mintima miawu mingolo; mu landakana zikhanu ziawu veka.
13 If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,
Enati batu bama bandima kuama, enati Iseli wuzola landakana zinzila ziama!
14 I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.
Nganu mu nsualu ndieka tumbu kuba yekudila bambeni ziawu ayi balula koko kuama kuidi bobo beti kuba lenda.
15 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.
Bobo beti lenda Yave balenda kukikulula va ntualꞌandi ayi nganu thumbudulu awu yela zingilanga mu zithangu zioso;
16 And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.
Vayi nganu ngeyo wudikulu mu ble yilutidi kitoko, mu niosi yintotukila mu ditadi, ndiela kuyukutisila.”
