Psalms 141
1 A psalm of David. Lord, I'm calling out to you! Please hurry up and help me! Please listen to me when I cry out to you!
Nkunga Davidi. A Yave, ngeyo nditela; yiza nsualu kuidi minu. Wa mbemboꞌama mu thangu ndilembo kutedi.
2 May my prayer be like incense before you, my uplifted hands like an evening offering.
Bika lusambulu luama luba va ntualꞌaku banga ansa bika mvumbudulu yi mioko miama yiba banga dikaba di masika.
3 Lord, make sure I don't say anything I shouldn't—keep a watch over my conversations.
Tula nsungi va munu ama, a Yave; keba bumboti muelo wu bididi biama.
4 Don't let me think about evil things or take part in doing anything wrong with wicked people. I won't join in eating fancy food at their feasts.
Kadi yinika ntimꞌama ku mambimbi, mu baka kuku mu mavanga mambimbi va kimosi ayi bamvanganga mambimbi; kadi tala ti ndidia bidia biawu bidi lueki.
5 Let a good person punish me in love—let them correct me. It will be like an anointing—I won't refuse it. But I still pray against those who do evil.
Bika mutu wusonga kambeta, diodi didi dimboti; bika kathemina, diodi didi mafuta va ntuꞌama; ayi ntuꞌama wulendi manga mawu ko. Muaki lusambulu luama luela nuanisanga mu zithangu zioso mavanga ma batu bamvanganga mambimbi.
6 They shall be thrown down by the power of the rock that judges them, and then they will recognize what I said was true!
Minyadi miawu miela lozo ku tsi tona ku yilu ngumbu ayi batu bambimbi bela longuka ti mambu mama ndituba, matubu bumboti.
7 Just as the earth is broken up by the plough, so shall their bones be scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Bela tuba: “mutu bu keti kabila ntoto ayi vasila ntoto buawu bobo mimvesi mieto mididi misasakana va muelo tsi bafua”. (Sheol h7585)
8 But I'm looking to you, Lord God, for I find protection in you. Don't let me die!
Vayi meso mama madi kaka kuidi ngeyo Yave, mutu wumvanganga makazodidi Kuidi ngeyo ndintombila suamunu, kadi kundiekula mu lufua.
9 Keep me safe from the traps they have set to catch me, from the snares of evil people.
Wukheba mu makondi bathambila ayi mu mintambu mitula batu bamvanganga mambimbi.
10 Let them fall into their own traps while I pass by unharmed.
Bika batu bambimbi, babua mu makondi mawu veka vayi minu ndiviokila vawu mu luvovomo.
