Psalms 74
1 Understanding for Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture?
Nkunga Asafi. Bila mbi wutulozidi mu zithangu zioso, a Nzambi e? Bila mbi wufuemini minkangu miaku mi mamemi miomi weti dikila e?
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast possessed from the beginning. The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt.
Tebukila batu baku moyo; bobo wukibakila thama; dikanda di kiuka kiaku, diodi wukula. Mongo wu Sioni, koko wuvuanda.
3 Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
Balula zithambi ziaku ku ndambu bibuangu bitiolumunu mu mvu ka mvu. Zimbivusu zioso ziozi mbeni kavanga mu buangu kinlongo.
4 And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs,
Batu balendidi balembo vomi va buangu kioki wutudenginina; batula bidalapo biawu banga dimbu ki ndungunu.
5 And they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top. As with axes in a wood of trees,
Badi banga batu bannanguna soka mu zenga minti ku nsitu widi khoba.
6 They have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.
Bakosikisa mabaya moso momo bamana fikula mu bisoka biawu ayi zi malito ziawu.
7 They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.
Bazinisa buangu kiaku kinlongo mu mbazu; basumuna buangu kieti vuandanga dizina diaku.
8 They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land.
Babedi tubanga mu mintima miawu: “Tuela kuba kosikisa mvimba” Bazinisa mu mbazu bibuangu bioso biobi beti buongimina Nzambi mu tsi.
9 Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: and he will know us no more.
Bakadi kutumonisa kadi kumu kimosi kusiedi mimbikudi ko. Kadi mutu wumosi mu beto zebi keni nate thangu mbi mama mela tatamana bela e?
10 How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?
Nate thangu mbi mbeni kela kusekinina, a Nzambi e? Nate thangu mbi mutu wundendidi kela lenzilanga dizina diaku mu zithangu zioso e?
11 Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand out of the midst of thy bosom for ever?
Bila mbi kangidi koko kuaku, koko kuaku ku lubakala e? Bonga kuawu mu mimfutu mi kukhutu kiaku ayi wuba bungi.
12 But God is our king before ages: he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
Vayi ngeyo Nzambi, ngeyo ntinu ama tona muna tona; ngeyo weti nata phulusu va ntoto.
13 Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Keti ngeyo wuvasa mbu mu lulendo luaku; wukosikisa mintu mi bisimbi bi minlangu;
14 Thou hast broken the heads of the dragon: thou hast given him to be meat for the people of the Ethiopians.
keti ngeyo wukosikisa mintu mi Leviatani, wumvana banga bidia kuidi bibulu bi dikanga
15 Thou hast broken up the fountains and the torrents: thou hast dried up the Ethan rivers.
Keti ngeyo wuzibula zitho zi minlangu ayi mimvuila mi minlangu Ngeyo wusikisa minlangu minneni miomi mieti kumba mu zithangu zioso.
16 Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.
Ngeyo vuidi muini, ayi ngeyo vuidi builu; ngeyo wuvanga ngondi ayi thangu.
17 Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: the summer and the spring were formed by thee.
Keti ngeyo wumana vanga zindilu zioso zi ntoto, ngeyo wuvanga tsungi yi muini wu ngolo ayi yi kiozi kingolo.
18 Remember this, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.
Tebuka moyo buevi mbeni kalembo sekinina, a Yave, buevi bivungisi balenzila dizina diaku!
19 Deliver not up to beasts the souls that confess to thee: and forget not to the end the souls of thy poor.
Kadi yekula luzingu lu dibembi diaku kuidi bibulu bi nganzi ayi kadi thumbu zimbakana luzingu lu batu baku badi mu phasi.
20 Have regard to thy covenant: for they that are the obscure of the earth have been filled with dwellings of iniquity.
Bengudila Nguizani aku thalu; bila bisuamunu biyindulungu makhemi bifulukidi mu bibuangu bitombi bi ntoto.
21 Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.
Kadi tala ti mutu wuyamusu kavutuka mu tsoni Bika nkua kiadi ayi nsukami bazitisa dizina diaku.
22 Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached thee all the day.
Telama a Nzambi! Wukinungisa! Tebukila moyo buevi bivungisi bilembo sekinina mu bilumbu bioso.
23 Forget not the voices of thy enemies: the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually.
Kadi zimbakana biyoko bi bambeni ziaku divunzi di bambeni ziaku, diodi dilembo buelamanga thangu ka thangu.
