Psalms 124

1 A Song of Ascents; of David. 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us', let Israel now say;

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

2 'If it had not been the LORD who was for us, when men rose up against us,

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

3 Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

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

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul;

khuka nlangu yitumbu kutuvitumuna ayi nguma yi nlangu yitudiamisa,

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.'

minlangu mi nguma mitulalumuna.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

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

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

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