< 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 )
Mutu kalendi kutebukila moyo ko niandi fua. Ayi nani wela kuzitisa ku tsi bafua e? (Sheol )
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.
