Psalms 17
1 The prayer of Dauid. Heare the right, O Lord, consider my crye: hearken vnto my prayer of lips vnfained.
Lusambulu lu Davidi. Yave wa mambu ma busonga bu ndieti samba; dimba yamikina kuama; tamba kutu mu lusambulu luama lueti totukila mu bididi bikambulu luvunu.
2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence, and let thine eyes beholde equitie.
Bika ndungunu ama yitotukila kuidi ngeyo ayi bika meso maku mamona momo madi ma lulama.
3 Thou hast prooued and visited mine heart in the night: thou hast tryed me, and foundest nothing: for I was purposed that my mouth should not offend.
Ka diambu ko tidi fiongunina ntimꞌama, ayi kuthala va builu ka diambu ko wumbekini, mu mbazu wulendi mona kadi kiasa ko. Ndibaka lukanu ti munu ama wulendi sumuka ko.
4 Concerning the workes of men, by the wordes of thy lips I kept mee from the paths of the cruell man.
Mu diambu di mavanga ma batu; mu nzila yi mambu ma bididi biaku, ndieti kukikeba mu nzila yi mutu widi matsita.
5 Stay my steps in thy paths, that my feete doe not slide.
Bitambi biama bidi kaka bikinda mu minsolo miaku, malu mama malendi sialumuka ko.
6 I haue called vpon thee: surely thou wilt heare me, O God: incline thine eare to me, and hearken vnto my wordes.
A Nzambi, ndikutela bila ngeyo wela kuphana mvutu. Yinika dikutu diaku ku ndidi ayi wa lusambulu luama.
7 Shewe thy marueilous mercies, thou that art the Sauiour of them that trust in thee, from such as resist thy right hand.
Monisa matsiminanga ma luzolo luaku lunneni, ngeyo wuphukisanga mu koko kuaku ku lubakala bobo bansuaminanga mu ngeyo, mu bobo bakubalendanga.
8 Keepe me as the apple of the eye: hide me vnder the shadowe of thy wings,
Wukheba banga ngengele yi dieso diaku; wutsueki ku tsi kitsusula ki mavavi maku,
9 From the wicked that oppresse mee, from mine enemies, which compasse me round about for my soule.
mu diambu di batu bambimbi beti kundiamisa, mu diambu di bambeni ziama zieti kunzungidila; ziosi zintomba lufua luama.
10 They are inclosed in their owne fat, and they haue spoken proudely with their mouth.
Bakikangidi mintima miawu midi banga matadi; Miunu miawu mintubanga mambu ma lunanga.
11 They haue compassed vs now in our steps: they haue set their eyes to bring downe to the ground:
Balembo ndandakana, banzungididi buabu; balembo tadi mu diambu bambuisa va tsi.
12 Like as a lyon that is greedy of pray, and as it were a lyons whelp lurking in secret places.
Badedikini banga khosi yidi nzala kanzuna, banga khosi yiyunduka yidi yilambididi va buangu kisuama.
13 Vp Lord, disappoint him: cast him downe: deliuer my soule from the wicked with thy sworde,
Telama, Yave, wuba nuanisa ayi bika wuba buisa, wukhula mu sabala kiaku; mu mutu wumbimbi.
14 From men by thine hand, O Lord, from men of the world, who haue their portion in this life, whose bellies thou fillest with thine hid treasure: their children haue ynough, and leaue the rest of their substance for their children.
A Yave, bika wuphukisa mu koko kuaku mu batu ba phila yayi; batu ba ntoto wawu; bobo mfutu awu widi mu luzingu lualu. Weti lembika nzala yi bobo weti zola bana bawu babeki biwombo, ayi balundila bana bawu batsombi kimvuama.
15 But I will beholde thy face in righteousnes, and when I awake, I shalbe satisfied with thine image.
Vayi minu, ndiela mona zizi kiaku mu busonga. Bu ndiela kotuka ndiela yukuta mu talanga mfikulꞌaku.
