Psalms 37
1 A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
Nkunga Davidi. Kadi fuemina batu bamvanganga mambimbi. Kadi monanga kikhenene bobo bamvanganga mambimbi.
2 For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
Bila banga biti, bela yuma mu nsualu; banga biti bi nlangu bela lebuka mu nsualu.
3 Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
Tula diana diaku mu Yave ayi vanga mamboti; buna wela vuanda mu tsi ayi wela zingila mu ndembama.
4 Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
Mona khini mu Yave buna wela kuvana mambu mantomba ntimꞌaku.
5 Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
Yekula nzilꞌaku kuidi Yave, Tula diana diaku mu niandi, buna wela vanga diambu diadi:
6 And he will bring forth thy justice 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 Be subject to the Lord and pray to him Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
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 leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
Bika buela fuema ayi zimbakana nganzi; kadi fuema bila dieti nata kaka ku mambu mambimbi.
9 For the evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit 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 shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
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 inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
Vayi minlembami miela tambula tsi banga kiuka ayi miela monanga khini mu ndembama yiwombo.
12 The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
Batu bambimbi bamfielanga batu basonga ayi beti kuba kuetila meno.
13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
Yave wunsevanga mutu wumbimbi; bila zebi ti lumbu kiandi kalembo yizi.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart.
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 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
Bisabala biawu biela kota mu mintima miawu veka; ayi mimbasa miawu miela kelulu.
16 Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the 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 in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
Bila lulendo lu batu bambimbi luela kelulu, vayi Yave wunsimbanga batu basonga.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; 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 confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:
Mu thangu yi ziphasi, balendi yuma ko mu lumbu ki nzala, bawu bela mona khini yiwombo.
20 Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
Vayi batu bambimbi bela bungana. Bambeni zi Yave, badi banga kitoko ki zitsola, ziela lalakana; ziela lalakana banga muisi.
21 The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
Mutu wumbimbi wundevanga vayi kavutulanga ko; Vayi mutu wusonga weti kabula mu luzolo lu ntima.
22 For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.
Bobo Yave kasakumuna bela tambula tsi banga kiuka, vayi bobo kasinga bela lalukusu.
23 With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
Enati Yave mueni khini mu nzila yi mutu buna wunkindisanga zithambi zi mutu beni.
24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
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 just 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 He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
Mu zithangu zioso, beti kabula ayi vananga mu luzolo Bana bawu bela sakumunu.
27 Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
Tina mambimbi; vanga mamboti buna wela vuanda mu tsi mu zithangu zioso.
28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
Bila Yave wunzolanga mambu masonga ayi kalendi zimbakana ko mikhuikizi miandi. Bela kebungu mu zithangu zioso vayi nkuna wu batu bambimbi wela lalukusu.
29 But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
Batu basonga bela tambula tsi banga kiuka ayi bela mukalanga mu zithangu zioso.
30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall speak 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, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
Mina mi Nzambi andi midi mu ntimꞌandi; Malu mandi malendi sialumuka ko.
32 The wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh to put him to death,
Mutu wumbimbi wumfielanga mutu wusonga ayi wuntombanga kumvondisa.
33 But the Lord will not leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
Yave kalendi yekula ko basonga mu lulendo lu batu bambimbi voti kuba bika babedoso bu balembo sambusu.
34 Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
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 highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
Ndimona mutu wumbimbi, ayi mutu kondolo kiadi, wuyunduka bumboti banga nti wu nlangu mu ntoto wowo kabutukila.
36 And I passed by, and lo, he was not: and I sought him and his place was not found.
Niandi wuvioka, nsualu ayi kasiedi ko. Ndintombidi ngolo vayi kasia monika ko.
37 Keep innocence, and behold justice: for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
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 unjust shall be destroyed together: the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
Vayi bankua masumu boso bela vondo va kimosi tsukulu yi batu bambimbi yela ba lalukusu.
39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
Phulusu yi batu basonga kuidi Yave yeti ba. Niandi zingolo ziawu mu thangu yi ziphasi.
40 And the Lord will help them and deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
Yave wukubasadisanga ayi wukubakulanga; wukubakulanga mu batu bambimbi ayi wukubavukisanga bila mu niandi beti suamina.
