< Psalms 42 >
1 Unto the end, understanding for the sons of Core. As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
Nkunga bana ba babakala ba Kole kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Boso bummoninanga disofi phuila yi nlangu, buawu bobo muelꞌama wididi phuila yi ngeyo; Nzambi ama.
2 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
Muelꞌama wulembo moni phuila yi Nzambi, Phuila yi Nzambi yi moyo. Thangu mbi ndiela nkuenda ayi ndiela dengana Nzambi e?
3 My tears have been any bread day and night, whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
Matsuela mama mawu maba bidia biama mu builu ayi muini bu babedi ku khambanga mu lumbu kimvimba: “Kuevi kuidi Nzambi aku e?”
4 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God: With the voice of joy and praise; the noise of one feasting.
Mambu momo ndieti tebukila moyo banga minu ndintiamuna muelꞌama: buevi ndibedi kuendilanga va kimosi ayi nkangu wu batu, mu kuba diatisa mu ntanda nate ku nzo Nzambi mu biyoko bi khini ayi mu phutudulu yi matondo va khatitsika batu bawombo badi mu nyengo.
5 Why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou trouble me? Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance,
Bila mbi vongidi bobo, a muelꞌama e? Bila mbi muelꞌama wulembo niongina mu khati ama e? Tula diana diaku mu Nzambi bila ndiela kunzitisa diaka; Mvulusi ama ayi Nzambi ama.
6 And my God. My soul is troubled within myself: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
Muelꞌama widi wuvonga mu khati nitu ama Diawu ndiela kutebukilanga moyo tona ku tsi yi Yolidani, ku zitsongi zi miongi mi Elimoni ayi tona ku mongo wu Mizali.
7 Deep calleth on deep, at the noise of thy flood-gates. All thy heights and thy billows have passed over me.
Kiza kieta tela kiza kinkaka mu khumbulu yi minlangu mu zithadi ziaku. Mayo maku mamo mafioti ayi manneni ma mbukimini.
8 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; and a canticle to him in the night. With me is prayer to the God of my life.
Mu muini, Yave wumfidisanga luzolo luandi Mu builu nkungꞌandi widi va minu lusambulu kuidi Nzambi yi luzingu luama.
9 I will say to God: Thou art my support. Why hast thou forgotten me? and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
Ndintuba kuidi Nzambi, ditadi diama di ngolo: “Bila mbi wunzimbikini e? Bila mbi mfueti diatilanga mu phasi, yamusungu kuidi mbeni e?”
10 Whilst my bones are broken, my enemies who trouble me have reproached me; Whilst they say to me day be day: Where is thy God?
Mimvesi miama milmbo moni phasi yi lufua; batu bobo bandendi bu balembo mfingi bu beti ku khambanga mu lumbu kimvimba ti: “Kuevi kuidi Nzambi aku e?”
11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Bila mbi vongidi bobo, a muelꞌama e? Bila mbi wulembo niongina mu khati ama e? Tula diana diaku mu Nzambi bila ndiela kunzitisa diaka; niandi Mvulusi ama ayi Nzambi ama.
