Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, hear my prayer; give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, in thy righteousness.
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 enter not into judgment with thy servant; for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
Kadi nata kisadi kiaku ku tsambusu; bila kadi mutu wumosi widi moyo widi wusonga va ntualꞌaku.
3 For the enemy persecuteth my soul: he hath crushed my life down to the earth; he hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
Bila mbeni wulembo ndandakana, wulembo ndiatidila va tsi; niandi wukuphuandisanga mu bibuangu bidi tombi banga batu bobo bafua thama.
4 And my spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
Buna pheve ama yeka suka-suka mu khati ama; ntimꞌama weka mona tsisi mu khati ama.
5 I remember the days of old: I meditate on all thy doing; I muse on the work of thy hands.
Ndilembo tebukila moyo bilumbu bivioka. Ndinyindulanga mavanga maku moso ayi fiongunina mavanga ma mioko miaku.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul, as a parched land, [thirsteth] after thee. (Selah)
Ndinonuna mioko miama kuidi ngeyo. Muelꞌama widi phuila mu kumona banga ntoto wu yuma, bu wididi phuila nlangu.
7 Answer me speedily, O Jehovah; my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, or I shall be like unto them that go down 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 Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning, for in thee do I confide; make me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto thee do I lift up my soul.
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 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from mine enemies: unto thee do I flee for refuge.
Wukhula mu bambeni ziama, a Yave; bila ndikukisuekanga mu ngeyo.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: let thy good Spirit lead me in a plain country.
Wundonga mu vanga luzolo luaku bila ngeyo Nzambi ama. Bika pheve aku yimboti yindiatisa mu ntoto wulendumuka.
11 Revive me, O Jehovah, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness bring my soul out of trouble;
Mu diambu di dizina diaku, a Yave, tamina luzingu luama; mu busonga buaku, bika wuthotula mu ziphasi.
12 And in thy loving-kindness cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that oppress my soul: for I am thy servant.
Mu luzolo luaku lu ngolo, kanga bambeni ziama; bunga babo bobo beti kundenda, bila ndidi kisadi kiaku.
