Psalms 40
1 Unto the end, a psalm for David himself. With expectation I have waited for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Ndieti tadidila Yave mu mvibudulu. Niandi wubaluka kuidi minu ayi wuwa yamikina kuama.
2 And he heard my prayers, and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs. And he set my feet upon a rock, and directed my steps.
Niandi wuthampula mu dibulu di tsisi, mu khati nyamba wu ngolo. Wutula malu mama va ditadi, wuphana buangu kikinda kioki ndilenda telama.
3 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many shall see, and shall fear: and they shall hope in the Lord.
Niandi wutula nkunga wumona va munu ama; nkunga wu zitisila Nzambi eto, Batu bawombo bela mona ayi bela mona tsisi; ayi bela tula diana diawu mu Yave.
4 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wunkitulanga Yave diana diandi; ayi wunkambu talanga bankua luniemo kuidi bobo beti baluka kuidi zinzambi zi luvunu.
5 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee. I have declared and I have spoken they are multiplied above number.
A Yave, Nzambi ama, ngeyo wuvanga matsiminanga mawombo; ayi bima biobi wukubika mu diambu dieto. Kuisiko mutu wulenda kutangila biawu. Enati thidi ku mayolukila ayi ku matubila; mawu mawokidi ngolo muingi ndimasamuna.
6 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require:
Makaba ma vonda ayi makaba matambuku; ngeyo wumanga mawu; Ngeyo wutobula matu mama. Makaba mayoko ayi makaba mu diambu di masumu, ngeyo wusia malomba ko.
7 Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me
Buna ndituba: “ndilembo yizi; didi disonama mu diambu diama mu buku ti:
8 That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
Minu thidi vanga luzolo luaku; a Nzambi ama, Mina miaku midi mu ntimꞌama.”
9 I have declared thy justice in a great church, lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
Ndinyamikisa busonga buaku mu lukutukunu lunneni. Ndisia zibika bididi biama ko. Banga kuandi buzebi, a Yave.
10 I have not hid thy justice within my heart: I have declared thy truth and thy salvation. I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth from a great council.
Ndisi sueka ko busonga buaku mu ntimꞌama. Ndiyolukila kikhuikizi kiaku ayi phulusu aku. Ndisia sueka ko luzolo luaku ayi kiedika kiaku mu lukutukunu lunneni.
11 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
Kadi zimbakana kumbonanga kiadi, a Yave. Bika Luzolo luaku ayi kiedika kiaku bikhebanga mu zithangu zioso.
12 For evils without number have surrounded me; my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see. They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: and my heart hath forsaken me.
Bila ziphasi ziwombo zikambu zabakana thalu zinzungididi. Masumu mama mambakidila, ayi ndikadi mona. Maviokidi zitsuki ziama zi ntu mu thalu. Ayi ntimꞌama wulembo vongi mu minu.
13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, look down, O Lord, to help me.
Yangalala, a Yave, mu kuphukisa A Yave, yiza nsualu mu kutsadisa.
14 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul to take it away. Let them be turned backward and be ashamed that desire evils to me.
Bika babo bobo bantomba baka luzingu luama; bafua tsoni ayi baba dio kombolo bika babo bammonanga khini mu mbivusu ama baba dio kombolo.
15 Let them immediately bear their confusion, that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
Bika babo bobo bantubanga kuidi minu: “A, a…” bamona tsisi mu diambu di zitsoni ziawu veka
16 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
Vayi bika babo bobo bakutombanga bayangalala, ayi bamona khini mu ngeyo. Bika babo banzolanga phulusu aku batuba mu zithangu zioso: “Bika Yave kayayusu.”
17 But I am a beggar and poor: the Lord is careful for me. Thou art my helper and my protector: O my God, be not slack.
Vayi minu, ndidi mu kiadi ayi nsukami, bika Yave kambanzila. Ngeyo nsadisi ama ayi nkudi ama. Nzambi ama, kadi zingila.
