Psalms 17
1 A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer from lips without deceit.
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 judgment come forth from Thy presence; let Thine eyes behold equity.
Bika ndungunu ama yitotukila kuidi ngeyo ayi bika meso maku mamona momo madi ma lulama.
3 Thou hast tried my heart, Thou hast visited it in the night; Thou hast tested me, and Thou findest not that I had a thought which should not pass my mouth.
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 As for the doings of men, by the word of Thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
Mu diambu di mavanga ma batu; mu nzila yi mambu ma bididi biaku, ndieti kukikeba mu nzila yi mutu widi matsita.
5 My steps have held fast to Thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
Bitambi biama bidi kaka bikinda mu minsolo miaku, malu mama malendi sialumuka ko.
6 As for me, I call upon Thee, for Thou wilt answer me, O God; incline Thine ear unto me, hear my speech.
A Nzambi, ndikutela bila ngeyo wela kuphana mvutu. Yinika dikutu diaku ku ndidi ayi wa lusambulu luama.
7 Make passing great Thy mercies, O Thou that savest by Thy right hand from assailants them that take refuge in Thee.
Monisa matsiminanga ma luzolo luaku lunneni, ngeyo wuphukisanga mu koko kuaku ku lubakala bobo bansuaminanga mu ngeyo, mu bobo bakubalendanga.
8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shadow of Thy wings,
Wukheba banga ngengele yi dieso diaku; wutsueki ku tsi kitsusula ki mavavi maku,
9 From the wicked that oppress, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
mu diambu di batu bambimbi beti kundiamisa, mu diambu di bambeni ziama zieti kunzungidila; ziosi zintomba lufua luama.
10 Their gross heart they have shut tight, with their mouth they speak proudly.
Bakikangidi mintima miawu midi banga matadi; Miunu miawu mintubanga mambu ma lunanga.
11 At our every step they have now encompassed us; they set their eyes to cast us down to the earth.
Balembo ndandakana, banzungididi buabu; balembo tadi mu diambu bambuisa va tsi.
12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear in pieces, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.
Badedikini banga khosi yidi nzala kanzuna, banga khosi yiyunduka yidi yilambididi va buangu kisuama.
13 Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down; deliver my soul from the wicked, by Thy sword;
Telama, Yave, wuba nuanisa ayi bika wuba buisa, wukhula mu sabala kiaku; mu mutu wumbimbi.
14 From men, by Thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in this life, and whose belly Thou fillest with Thy treasure; who have children in plenty, and leave their abundance to their babes.
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 As for me, I shall behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
Vayi minu, ndiela mona zizi kiaku mu busonga. Bu ndiela kotuka ndiela yukuta mu talanga mfikulꞌaku.
