Psalms 28
1 A psalm of David. Lord, my rock, I'm calling out to you. Please listen to me! For if you don't respond, I'll be like those who go down into the grave.
Nkunga Davidi. Ngeyo ndintela; A Yave, ditadi diama di ngolo, kadi kunzibikila dikutu diaku Bila ngeyo ba dio sui; buna ndiela dedakana bobo bankulukanga mu dibulu dimula.
2 Listen as I appeal for mercy, as I call for help, as I hold up my hands in prayer towards your holy Temple.
Wa yamikina kuami mu diambu di kiadi banga bu ndikutela mu tomba lusadusu banga bu ndieti vumuna mioko miama ku ndambu buangu kiaku kilutidi kinlongo.
3 Don't drag me off with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak nicely to their neighbors while in their minds they're plotting evil.
Kadi kuphitumuna va kimosi ayi batu bambimbi ayi batu beti vanga mambimbi; bobo banyolukilanga mambu ma ndembama va kimosi ayi badiawu vayi banyindulanga mambimbi mu mintima miawu.
4 Give them what they deserve for their evil actions. Pay them back for what they've done. Give them the reward they've earned!
Wuba vutudila boso buididi mavanga mawu, ayi boso buididi mavanga mawu mambimbi. Wuba vutudila boso buididi mavanga ma mioko miawu, wuba vutudila boso buididi mambu momo bavanga.
5 For they don't pay any attention to what the Lord does, or to what he created. So he will destroy them—they will never be restored.
Sumbu batalanga ko mavanga ma Yave, ayi mavanga ma mioko miandi, wela ku babunga ayi kalendi ku batunga diaka ko.
6 Praise the Lord! For he has heard my appeal for mercy!
Nzitusu wuba kuidi Yave! Bila wuwilu yamikina kuama mu diambu di kiadi.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield. I trust in him and he helps me. I'm so happy, and I sing my thanks to him.
Yave niandi zingolo ziama ayi nkakuꞌama. Ntimꞌama wuntulanga diana mu niandi ayi ndisadusu. Ntimꞌama weti mona khini yi ngolo ayi ndiela kumvutudila matondo mu nkungꞌama.
8 The Lord gives strength to his people; he is a safe refuge for the one he has anointed.
Yave niandi ngolo mu diambu di batu bandi. Niandi buangu kingolo ki khudulu yi mutu andi wowo kadukudila mafuta.
9 Save your people! Bless your “special possession”! Be their shepherd and carry them in your arms forever!
Vukisa batu baku ayi sakumuna kiuka kiaku. Bika wuba nsungi awu ayi wuba nata mu zithangu zioso.
