Psalms 18
1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid the seruant of the Lord, which spake unto the Lord the wordes of this song (in the day that the Lord delivered him for the hande of all this enemies, and form the and of saul) and sayd, I will loue thee dearely, O Lord my strength.
Nkunga Davidi, kisadi ki Yave, kuidi Pfumu minyimbidi. Wuyimbila nkunga wawu mu diambu di Yave mu thangu Yave kankula mu mioko mi bambeni bandi ayi mu mioko mi Sawuli. Yave, ndikuzolanga, ngeyo zingolo ziama.
2 The Lord is my rocke, and my fortresse, and he that deliuereth me, my God and my strength: in him will I trust, my shield, the horne also of my saluation, and my refuge.
A Yave, niandi ditadi diama, tinunu kiama ki ngolo, ayi ngeyo nkudi ama. Nzambi ama, niandi ditadi diama; mu niandi ndintombila suamunu, niandi nkaku ama, ayi phoka yi phulusu ama, ayi tinunu kiama ki zangama.
3 I will call vpon the Lord, which is worthie to be praysed: so shall I be safe from mine enemies.
Ndiela tela Yave, niandi fueni mu zitusu ayi ndiela vuka mu bambeni ziama.
4 The sorowes of death compassed me, and the floods of wickednes made me afraide.
Minsinga mi lufua mimfietikisa. Bosi khuka nlangu yimbunganga yimbuila mu kinzimbukila.
Minsinga mi tsi bafua minzingalakana. Mintambu mi lufua mi lekama ku ntualꞌama. (Sheol h7585)
6 But in my trouble did I call vpon the Lord, and cryed vnto my God: he heard my voyce out of his Temple, and my crye did come before him, euen into his eares.
Mu ziphasi ziama, nditela Yave Ndiyamikina kuidi Nzambi ama mu tomba lusadusu wuwa mbemboꞌama tona kuna nzoꞌandi, ayi yamikina kuama kutula va ntualꞌandi, mu matu mandi.
7 Then the earth trembled, and quaked: the foundations also of the mountaines mooued and shooke, because he was angrie.
Buna ntoto wunikuka ayi wutita. Zifondasio zi miongo zinikunu ayi zinikuka, bila wuba wufuema ngolo.
8 Smoke went out at his nostrels, and a consuming fire out of his mouth: coales were kindled thereat.
Muisi wutotuka mu mayilu mandi, ayi mbazu yi nlalikisanga yitotuka mu munuꞌandi; muawu mu totukila makala ma mbazu.
9 He bowed the heauens also and came downe, and darkenes was vnder his feete.
Wukulula diyilu ayi wukuluka, ayi matuti ma ndombe maba ku tsi malu mandi.
10 And he rode vpon Cherub and did flie, and he came flying vpon the wings of the winde.
Wukuma va yilu kheluba ayi wudumuka. Wuvevumuka va yilu mavavi ma phemo.
11 He made darkenes his secrete place, and his pauilion round about him, euen darkenesse of waters, and cloudes of the ayre.
Wukitula tombi buangu kiandi kisuamina; kapu andi yiba kunzungidila, tombi kinokisa mvula yi matuti ma diyilu.
12 At the brightnes of his presence his clouds passed, haylestones and coles of fire.
Mu kiezila kiba va ntualꞌandi mutotukila matuti, mvula yi matadi ayi zitsiemo.
13 The Lord also thundred in the heauen, and the Highest gaue his voyce, haylestones and coales of fire.
Yave wuduma tona mu Diyilu; mbembo yi Nzambi yizangama yiwakakana.
14 Then hee sent out his arrowes and scattred them, and he increased lightnings and destroyed them.
Niandi wuloza madionga mandi ayi wusasikisa bambeni; zitsiemo zinneni ayi wuba zimbikisa nzila.
15 And the chanels of waters were seene, and the foundations of the worlde were discouered at thy rebuking, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of thy nostrels.
Tsi nlangu yi mbu yimonika, ayi zifondasio zi ntoto zimonika ngeyo Yave bu wutema mu phemo yitotukila mu mayilu maku.
16 He hath sent downe from aboue and taken mee: hee hath drawen mee out of many waters.
Wunonuna koko kuandi tona ku yilu ayi wutsimba, wuthotula mu minlangu minneni midi thipula.
17 He hath deliuered mee from my strong enemie, and from them which hate me: for they were too strong for me.
Niandi wukhula mu mbeni ama yingolo, ayi mu batu bobo bandenda bila bawu bandutila ngolo.
18 They preuented me in the day of my calamitie: but the Lord was my stay.
Bawu banduanisa mu lumbu ki ndiba mu mabienga, vayi Yave niandi wuba singumunu kiama.
19 Hee brought mee foorth also into a large place: hee deliuered mee because hee fauoured me.
Niandi wuthotula ayi wuthula va buangu kikambulu tsisi; wukhula bila khini kaba monanga mu minu.
20 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnes: according to the purenes of mine hands he recompensed me:
Yave wuphangidi bobo boso buididi busonga buama; wupheni mfutu boso buididi vedila ku mioko miama
21 Because I kept the wayes of the Lord, and did not wickedly against my God.
Bila ndikebidi zinzila zi Yave ayi ndisia tamba Nzambi ama mbusa ko mu diambu di vanga mambimbi.
22 For all his Lawes were before mee, and I did not cast away his commandements from mee.
Mina miandi mioso midi va ntualꞌama ayi ndisia vengama ko mu zithumunu ziandi.
23 I was vpright also with him, and haue kept me from my wickednes.
Ndiba mutu wukambu tsembolo va ntualꞌandi Ndikikeba mu diambu di masumu.
24 Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousnesse, and according to the purenes of mine hands in his sight.
Yave wupheni mfutu boso buididi busonga buama, boso buididi vedila ku mioko miama va ntuala meso mandi.
25 With the godly thou wilt shewe thy selfe godly: with the vpright man thou wilt shew thy selfe vpright.
Kuidi mutu widi wukuikama, ngeyo wukukimonisanga wukuikama. Kuidi mutu wukambulu tsembolo ngeyo wukukimonisanga mutu wukambulu tsembolo.
26 With the pure thou wilt shewe thy selfe pure, and with the froward thou wilt shewe thy selfe froward.
Kuidi mutu wuvedila, wukukimonisanga wuvedila. Kuidi mutu wumbimbi, wukukimonisanga wumbimbi.
27 Thus thou wilt saue the poore people, and wilt cast downe the proude lookes.
Ngeyo wumvukisanga batu beti kukikula ayi wunkululanga meso madi luyanu.
28 Surely thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God wil lighten my darkenes.
Ngeyo a Yave, keba muindꞌama wuba wulema A Nzambiꞌama, kitula tombi kiama; kikituka kiezila.
29 For by thee I haue broken through an hoste, and by my God I haue leaped ouer a wall.
Mu lusadusu luaku ndilenda nuanisa nkangu masodi, va kimosi ayi Nzambi ama, ndilenda dumuka baka kikunzama.
30 The way of God is vncorrupt: the worde of the Lord is tried in the fire: he is a shield to all that trust in him.
Kuidi Nzambi, nzilꞌandi yidi yi fuana, mambu ma Yave madi ma kiedika. Niandi nkaku wu batu boso bobo bansuaminanga mu niandi.
31 For who is God besides the Lord? and who is mightie saue our God?
Bila nani Nzambi, enati ka Yave ko e? Ayi nani ditadi di ngolo, enati ka Nzambi eto ko e?
32 God girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way vpright.
Nzambi, niandi wukuphananga ngolo ayi wunkitulanga nzilꞌama yi fuana.
33 He maketh my feete like hindes feete, and setteth me vpon mine high places.
Wunkitulanga malu mama banga malu ma tsesi, ayi wukuthelimisanga va bibuangu biama bizangama.
34 He teacheth mine hands to fight: so that a bowe of brasse is broken with mine armes.
Wunlongisanga mioko miama mu nuana mvita, mioko miama milenda leka mbasa wusengo.
35 Thou hast also giuen me the shield of thy saluation, and thy right hand hath stayed me, and thy louing kindenes hath caused me to increase.
Wuphana nkaku aku wu ndungunu, ayi koko kuaku ku lubakala kukhindisa ayi wukuluka mu diambu di kukhitula mutu wunneni.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps vnder mee, and mine heeles haue not slid.
Ngeyo wukubikidi nsolo wuyalumuka ku tsi bitambi biama, muingi bikodi biama bibika visuka.
37 I haue pursued mine enemies, and taken them, and haue not turned againe till I had consumed them.
Ndikuka bambeni ziama ayi ndizibakidila. Ndisia vutuka manima ko enati ndisia mana kuzivonda.
38 I haue wounded them, that they were not able to rise: they are fallen vnder my feete.
Ndiba kosikisa ayi basia buela baka bu telimina ko; babua ku tsi malu mama.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength to battell: them, that rose against me, thou hast subdued vnder me.
Ngeyo wuphana zingolo zi nuanina mvita; Ngeyo weti komvika batu beti kundenda ku tsi malu mama.
40 And thou hast giuen me the neckes of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
Ngeyo wuntinisanga bambeni ziama va ntualꞌama ayi ndibunga bobo bakundendanga.
41 They cryed but there was none to saue them, euen vnto the Lord, but hee answered them not.
Bayamikina mu tomba lusadusu, vayi kadi mutu mu kuba vukisa. Bayamikina kuidi Yave vayi kasia ku bavutudila mvutu ko.
42 Then I did beate them small as the dust before the winde: I did treade them flat as the clay in the streetes.
Ndiba kosikisa banga mbungi-mbungi yeti vevumunu kuidi phemo. Ndiba loza thama banga nyamba wu zinzila.
43 Thou hast deliuered me from the contentions of the people: thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people, whom I haue not knowen, shall serue me.
Wukhula mu minzonza mi batu, ayi wukhitula ntu wu makanda; batu bobo ndisia zaba ko, bawu ndiela yadila.
44 As soone as they heare, they shall obey me: the strangers shall be in subiection to me.
Bu batumbu kungua bathumukina; banzenza zikikulula va ntualꞌama.
45 Strangers shall shrinke away, and feare in their priuie chambers.
Zinzenza zilembo vongi, balembo titi sumbu bantotuka mu bibuangu biawu bisuama ngolo.
46 Let the Lord liue, and blessed be my strength, and the God of my saluation be exalted.
Yave wulembo zingi Nzitusu wuba kuidi ditadi diama yayusu kuba kuidi Nzambi Mvulusi ama.
47 It is God that giueth me power to auenge me, and subdueth the people vnder me.
Niandi Nzambi wukuphutudilanga landi; ayi wutula makanda ku tsi luyalu luama.
48 O my deliuerer from mine enemies, euen thou hast set mee vp from them, that rose against me: thou hast deliuered mee from the cruell man.
Wuphukisa mi bambeni ziama, Ngeyo wundiayisa va yilu batu bobo bandenda. Ngeyo wukhula mu batu ba matsita.
49 Therefore I will prayse thee, O Lord, among the nations, and wil sing vnto thy Name.
Diawu ngeyo Yave, ndiela ku zitisa va khatitsika makanda. Ndiela yimbila minzitusu mu diambu di dizina diaku.
50 Great deliuerances giueth hee vnto his King, and sheweth mercie to his anoynted, euen to Dauid, and to his seede for euer.
Niandi wuvana ndungunu yinneni kuidi ntinu andi ayi wummonisanga mamboti mandi ma ngolo kuidi mutu andi kavinda mafuta, kuidi Davidi ayi nkuna andi mu zithangu zioso.
