Psalms 124

1 A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. If the Lord had not bene on our side, (may Israel now say)

Nkunga Davidi wunyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Bika Iseli katuba: Enati Yave kasia ba ku ndambuꞌeto ko;

2 If the Lord had not bene on our side, when men rose vp against vs,

Enati Yave kasia ba ku ndambu eto ko mu thangu batu batelama mu kutunuanisa;

3 They had then swallowed vs vp quicke, when their wrath was kindled against vs.

mu thangu nganzi awu yitubuila, keti nganu mina batumina bamoyo;

4 Then the waters had drowned vs, and the streame had gone ouer our soule:

khuka nlangu yitumbu kutuvitumuna ayi nguma yi nlangu yitudiamisa,

5 Then had the swelling waters gone ouer our soule.

minlangu mi nguma mitulalumuna.

6 Praysed be the Lord, which hath not giuen vs as a praye vnto their teeth.

Nzitusu wuba kuidi Yave mutu wowo wukambu kutuyekula batukanzuna mu meno ma miunu miawu.

7 Our soule is escaped, euen as a bird out of the snare of the foulers: the snare is broken, and we are deliuered.

Tutina banga nuni bu keti tinina mu dikondi di ntambi wu zinuni. Dikondi dikanzuka ayi beto tutina.

8 Our helpe is in the Name of the Lord, which hath made heauen and earth.

Lusadusu lueto luidi mu dizina di Yave, mvangi wu diyilu ayi ntoto.
