< Psalms 6 >

1 For the music director. To be accompanied by stringed instruments, according to the sheminith. A psalm of David. Lord, please don't condemn me because you're angry with me; please don't punish me because you're angry with me!
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi, wuyimbidila wawu mu ngitala yi nana di zitsinga. A Yave, kadi kuthemina ku tsi nganzi aku ayi kadi kuphana thumbudulu bu widi ku tsi miangu miaku mi ngolo.
2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak; heal me, Lord, for I am sick to the bone.
Wumbona kiadi a Yave bila ndidi wulebakana, A Yave wumbelusa bila mimvesi miama mieka nduka fua.
3 I'm shaking all over in fear. How long will it be, Lord, before you do something?
Muelꞌama wulembo yami, Nate thangu mbi, a Yave, nate thangu mbi e?
4 Turn, Lord, and rescue me! Save me because of your trustworthy love!
Vutikisa ntima, a Yave, wukhudi, wuphukisa mu diambu di luzolo luaku lu ngolo.
5 For no one remembers you when they're dead. Who is able to praise you from the grave? (Sheol h7585)
Mutu kalendi kutebukila moyo ko niandi fua. Ayi nani wela kuzitisa ku tsi bafua e? (Sheol h7585)
6 My groaning has exhausted me. Every night I soak my bed with my crying; I drench my couch with my tears.
Mbemana vonga kuna ku kunga; builu bu mvimba ndieti bodisa mbukꞌama mu bidilu, ndieti bodisa buangu ki ndieti leka mu matsuela.
7 With all my crying I can hardly see; my eyes grow weak because of the trouble my enemies cause me.
Meso mama mabividi mu diambu di kiadi, ayi manunini mu diambu di bobo beti kundenda.
8 Leave me alone, all you people who do evil, for the Lord has heard me crying!
Botukanu va ntualꞌama beno boso lumvanganga mambu mambimbi. Bila Yave wuwilu bidilu biama.
9 The Lord has heard me calling out for help; the Lord answers my prayer.
Yave wuwilu yamikina kuama mu diambu di kiadi Yave kikinini lusambulu luama.
10 All who hate me will be shamefully defeated and terrified; they will run away in disgrace.
Bambeni ziama zioso baela fua tsoni ayi bela ba boma-boma. Bela vutikisa ku manima ayi bela fua tsoni mu nsualu.
