Psalms 36
1 For the music director. A psalm of David, servant of the Lord. Evil speaks to the wicked, deep down in their minds, for in their eyes they have no need to respect God.
Nkunga Davidi, kisadi ki Yave, kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Mambu ma Nzambi madi mu ntimꞌama Mu mambu matedi disumu di mutu wumbimbi: kuisi ko mambu ma kinzikila Nzambi va meso mandi.
2 In their own eyes they're so wonderful that they can't even see their sin and do something about it.
Bila va meso mandi veka, weti kukiniemisa buwombo mu bakula voti lenda masumu mandi.
3 Whatever they say is deceptive and deceitful. They no longer do anything wisely or for good.
Mambu ma munuꞌandi madi mambimbi ayi ma luvunu. Wulembo kuandi buela ba nkua nduenga ayi bueba vanga mamboti.
4 Even when they're lying in bed they think up evil schemes. They commit themselves to a way of life that is no good. They choose evil, and don't reject it.
Bu kadi va mbukꞌandi, wunyindulanga mambu mambimbi. Weti kukiyekula niandi veka mu nzila yi masumu kalozanga ko mambu mambimbi.
5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to the heavens, your trustworthiness to the clouds.
Luzolo luaku, a Yave, lueti tula nate ku diyilu kikhuikizi kiaku nate mu matuti
6 Your goodness is like the highest mountains, your fairness is like the deepest oceans. Lord, you save both the people and the animals.
Busonga buaku buidi banga miongo minda; zinzengolo ziaku zidi banga dibulu dinneni. O Yave, ngeyo wunkebanga mutu ayi bulu.
7 God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.
Tala phila luzolo luaku lu ngolo lukambu thalu! Luidi luzangulu ayi lukululu va khatitsika batu bobo bansuaminanga ku tsi phozi yi mavevi maku.
8 They gain strength from the wonderful food you provide in your house; you give them drink from your refreshing river.
Beti tula minyengo mu wombo di bima bi nzo aku ayi ngeyo wukubanuikinanga mu nlangu wu makhini maku.
9 You are the source of life; you are the light by which we see.
Bila kuidi ngeyo kuidi tho yi luzingu. Mu kiezila kiaku, tulembo moni kiezila.
10 Extend your trustworthy love to those who know you, and your goodness to those who truly live right.
Landakana vanga luzolo luaku kuidi bawu bazebi ayi busonga buaku kuidi bawu badi mintima mi lulama.
11 Don't let the arrogant trample me down; don't let the wicked drive me out.
Bika kulu ku nkua luniemo kubika kumbakidila; voti bika koko ku mutu wumbimbi kubika kuthinisa thama.
12 Now look! See how those who do evil have fallen—thrown down, unable to get up.
Tala phila yilembo buila bisadi bi mambu mambimbi; balumbulu va tsi ayi balendi buela telama ko.
