Psalms 77
1 For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of Asaph. I cry out to God for help—I even shout. If only he would listen to me!
Nkunga Asafi kuidi Yedutuni, pfumu wu minyimbidi. Ndiyamikina kuidi Nzambi mu diambu di lusadusu ndiyamikina kuidi Nzambi mu kunguila.
2 When I was in trouble I prayed to the Lord. All night long I stretched out my hands to him in prayer but nothing brought me any comfort.
Thangu ndiba mu ziphasi, nditomba Yave; va builu ndinonuna mioko miama mu kambu vonga; ayi muelꞌama wumanga bombo.
3 I thought about God, groaning loudly; I meditated on him, but I was discouraged. (Selah)
Ndietebukila moyo, a Nzambi, ayi ndikunga; ndiyindula mu tsi ntima ayi pheve ama yivonga ngolo.
4 You stop me going to sleep; I'm so upset I can't even talk.
Wekeba meso mama ma bika zibama, ndiba diaka mu phasi mu tuba.
5 I think of the old days, years ago.
Ndiyindula bilumbu bivioka, mimvu mi thama.
6 I remember the songs I sung in the night. I meditate and ask myself:
Ndieti tebukila minkunga miama moyo va builu, Ntima ama uyindula ku tsi ntima ayi pheve ama yikiyuvula:
7 Has the Lord given up on me forever? Won't he ever be pleased with me again?
Pfumu wela tumbu loza kuandi mvimba e? Kalendi buela monisa nlemvo andi ko e?
8 Has his trustworthy love disappeared forever? Have his promises permanently ended?
Luzolo luandi lungolo lusukidi kuandi mvimba e? Zitsila ziandi mu zithangu zioso zikitukidi zi phamba e?
9 Has God forgotten to be kind? Has he angrily slammed the door shut on his compassion? (Selah)
Nzambi wuzimbikini kuandi buela monisa nlemvo e? Wuyimini kiadi kiandi mu diambu di nganzi e?
10 Then I said, “This is what hurts me the most: the Most High doesn't treat me the way he used to.”
Buna ndiyindula “mu diambu diadi ndiela singimina: mimvu mi koko ku lubakala ku Nzambi yizangama.”
11 I remember what you have done, Lord; I remember all the wonderful things you did long ago.
Ndiela tebukila moyo mavanga ma Yave, bukiedika ndiela tebukila moyo bikumu biaku bi thama.
12 I will think about all you have accomplished; I will think deeply about how you have acted.
Ndiela yindulanga mu tsi ntima bisalu biaku bioso; ayi ndiela banzilanga mavanga maku moso ma lulendo.
13 God, your ways are holy; is any god as great as you?
Zinzila ziaku, a Nzambi, zidi zinlongo; nzambi mbi widi wunneni banga Nzambi eto e?
14 You are the God who does wonderful things! You have revealed your power to the nations.
Ngeyo widi Nzambi yimvanganga bikumu; Ngeyo weti monisa lulendo luaku muidi batu.
15 Through your strength you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
Mu koko kuaku ku lulendo wukuidila batu baku, nkuna wu Yakobi ayi wu Zozefi.
16 When the waters saw you, God, when they looked they trembled! Yes, they shook down to the very depths!
Minlangu mimmona, ngeyo a Nzambi! Minlangu mimona ngeyo, ayi mikotadala zitsina zi minlangu zi nikuka.
17 The clouds poured rain down; the skies crashed with thunder; your lightning flew like arrows.
Matuti madukula minlangu; diyilu diduma mu nzazi madionga maku matotuka ku ntuala ayi ku mbusa.
18 Your thunder rumbled from the whirlwind; lightning flashes lit up the world; the earth quaked and shook.
Zinzazi ziaku ziwakana mu kimbongila; zitsiemo zikienzula ntoto; ntoto wunikuka ayi wutita.
19 Your way led through the sea; your path passed through the deep sea; yet your footprints were invisible.
Nsolo aku wuviokila va khatitsika mbu, nzilꞌaku mu minlangu midi nguma, muna zithambi ziaku zisia monika ko.
20 You led your people like a flock, shepherded by Moses and Aaron.
Wudiatisa batu baku banga nkangu wu mamemi, mu koko ku Moyize ayi Aloni.
