Psalms 37
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, and be not envious of them that work unrighteousness;
Nkunga Davidi. Kadi fuemina batu bamvanganga mambimbi. Kadi monanga kikhenene bobo bamvanganga mambimbi.
2 for they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and fade as the green herb.
Bila banga biti, bela yuma mu nsualu; banga biti bi nlangu bela lebuka mu nsualu.
3 Confide in Jehovah, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on faithfulness;
Tula diana diaku mu Yave ayi vanga mamboti; buna wela vuanda mu tsi ayi wela zingila mu ndembama.
4 and delight thyself in Jehovah, and he will give thee the desires of thy heart.
Mona khini mu Yave buna wela kuvana mambu mantomba ntimꞌaku.
5 Commit thy way unto Jehovah, and rely upon him: he will bring [it] to pass;
Yekula nzilꞌaku kuidi Yave, Tula diana diaku mu niandi, buna wela vanga diambu diadi:
6 and he will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Wela kienzula busonga buaku banga kiezila ki khiesa buisi nzengolo yi diambu diaku banga thangu va midi.
7 Rest in Jehovah, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him that prospereth in his way, because of the man that bringeth mischievous devices to pass.
Ba dio sui va ntuala Yave, ayi wuntadidila mu mvibudulu kadi fuemina batu bu balembo moni mamboti mu nzilꞌandi; ayi kadi fuemina batu balembo sadila makani mawu mambimbi.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it [would be] only to do evil.
Bika buela fuema ayi zimbakana nganzi; kadi fuema bila dieti nata kaka ku mambu mambimbi.
9 For evil-doers shall be cut off; but those that wait on Jehovah, they shall possess the land.
Bila bobo bamvanganga mambimbi bela lalukusu; vayi bobo bantulanga diana diawu mu Yave bela tambula tsi banga kiuka.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked is not; and thou considerest his place, but he is not.
Fioti kuandi fisiedi, buna batu bambimbi balendi buela monika ko; buna wela tala buangu kibabedi vayi bela va ba ko.
11 But the meek shall possess the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of prosperity.
Vayi minlembami miela tambula tsi banga kiuka ayi miela monanga khini mu ndembama yiwombo.
12 The wicked plotteth against the righteous, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
Batu bambimbi bamfielanga batu basonga ayi beti kuba kuetila meno.
13 The Lord laugheth at him; for he seeth that his day is coming.
Yave wunsevanga mutu wumbimbi; bila zebi ti lumbu kiandi kalembo yizi.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the afflicted and needy, to slay those that are upright in [the] way:
Batu bambimbi bavola bisabala ayi baleka mimbasa mu diambu di vonda nkua kiadi ayi mutu wusukama; mu diambu di zenga bobo bandiatanga mu nzila yi lulama.
15 their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Bisabala biawu biela kota mu mintima miawu veka; ayi mimbasa miawu miela kelulu.
16 The little that the righteous hath is better than the abundance of many wicked;
Baka ku fioti ku mutu wusonga kulutidi ayi baka kuphuedi ku wombo di batu bambimbi.
17 for the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but Jehovah upholdeth the righteous.
Bila lulendo lu batu bambimbi luela kelulu, vayi Yave wunsimbanga batu basonga.
18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever:
Bilumbu bi batu bakambulu tsembolo bizabikini kuidi Yave ayi kiuka kiawu kizingilanga mu zithangu zioso.
19 they shall not be ashamed in the time of evil, and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Mu thangu yi ziphasi, balendi yuma ko mu lumbu ki nzala, bawu bela mona khini yiwombo.
20 For the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume, like smoke shall they consume away.
Vayi batu bambimbi bela bungana. Bambeni zi Yave, badi banga kitoko ki zitsola, ziela lalakana; ziela lalakana banga muisi.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again; but the righteous is gracious and giveth:
Mutu wumbimbi wundevanga vayi kavutulanga ko; Vayi mutu wusonga weti kabula mu luzolo lu ntima.
22 for those blessed of him shall possess the land, and they that are cursed of him shall be cut off.
Bobo Yave kasakumuna bela tambula tsi banga kiuka, vayi bobo kasinga bela lalukusu.
23 The steps of a man are established by Jehovah, and he delighteth in his way:
Enati Yave mueni khini mu nzila yi mutu buna wunkindisanga zithambi zi mutu beni.
24 though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for Jehovah upholdeth his hand.
Ka diambu ko bumini thutu; kalendi bua ko; bila Yave wukunsimbidilanga mu koko kuandi.
25 I have been young, and now am old, and I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread:
Ndiba ditoko, buabu ndieka nunu; vayi ndisia mona ko mutu wusonga wuyekolo voti ndisia mona ko bana bandi balomba dipha.
26 all the day he is gracious and lendeth, and his seed shall be a blessing.
Mu zithangu zioso, beti kabula ayi vananga mu luzolo Bana bawu bela sakumunu.
27 Depart from evil, and do good, and dwell for evermore;
Tina mambimbi; vanga mamboti buna wela vuanda mu tsi mu zithangu zioso.
28 for Jehovah loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: They are preserved for ever; but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Bila Yave wunzolanga mambu masonga ayi kalendi zimbakana ko mikhuikizi miandi. Bela kebungu mu zithangu zioso vayi nkuna wu batu bambimbi wela lalukusu.
29 The righteous shall possess the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Batu basonga bela tambula tsi banga kiuka ayi bela mukalanga mu zithangu zioso.
30 The mouth of the righteous proffereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment;
Munu wu mutu wusonga wuntotulanga mambu ma nduenga ayi ludimi luandi luntubanga mambu ma lulama.
31 the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not slide.
Mina mi Nzambi andi midi mu ntimꞌandi; Malu mandi malendi sialumuka ko.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him:
Mutu wumbimbi wumfielanga mutu wusonga ayi wuntombanga kumvondisa.
33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Yave kalendi yekula ko basonga mu lulendo lu batu bambimbi voti kuba bika babedoso bu balembo sambusu.
34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to possess the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
Tadidila Yave, ayi keba nzilꞌandi. Buna wela kuyayisa mu diambu wutambula tsi banga kiuka; thangu batu bambimbi bela lalukusu, ngeyo wela bumona.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading like a green tree in its native soil:
Ndimona mutu wumbimbi, ayi mutu kondolo kiadi, wuyunduka bumboti banga nti wu nlangu mu ntoto wowo kabutukila.
36 but he passed away, and behold, he was not; and I sought him, but he was not found.
Niandi wuvioka, nsualu ayi kasiedi ko. Ndintombidi ngolo vayi kasia monika ko.
37 Mark the perfect, and behold the upright, for the end of [that] man is peace;
Fiongunina mutu kambulu tsembolo ayi tala tala mutu wu lulama buna wela mona ti tsukulu yi mutu wowo yidi tsukulu yi ndembama.
38 but the transgressors shall be destroyed together; the future of the wicked shall be cut off.
Vayi bankua masumu boso bela vondo va kimosi tsukulu yi batu bambimbi yela ba lalukusu.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah: he is their strength in the time of trouble.
Phulusu yi batu basonga kuidi Yave yeti ba. Niandi zingolo ziawu mu thangu yi ziphasi.
40 And Jehovah will help them and deliver them: he will deliver them from the wicked, and save them; for they trust in him.
Yave wukubasadisanga ayi wukubakulanga; wukubakulanga mu batu bambimbi ayi wukubavukisanga bila mu niandi beti suamina.
