Psalms 55
1 For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David. Give ear, O God, to my prayer; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi, kayimbidila. Dimba lusambulu luama, a Nzambi; ayi kadi zimbakana mambu mama.
2 Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;
Wunguila ayi wuphani mvutu; mayindu mama malembo mbonisa phasi ayi ndilembo sambi;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
mu diambu di mbembo yi mbeni; mu diambu di yamusu ku mutu wumbimbi bila minu beti yekikilanga ziphasi bila balembo mfingi mu nganzi awu.
4 My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Ntimꞌama widi mu maniongo mu minu; ayi boma bu lufua lu mbuididi.
5 Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
Tsisi ayi lukhuku bieka mu minu ayi boma bu ngolo bumbuididi.
6 And I said: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
Buna ndituba: “Enati ndiba ayi mavavi ma dibembi nganu ndieka tumbu dumuka ayi ba mu luvundulu.
7 Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)
Nganu, ndiela tinina ku thama, ayi vuanda ku dikanga.
8 I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'
Ndiela tina nsualu mu tomba suamunu ku buangu kikambulu phemo yingolo ayi vuka kingolo.”
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Kotisa batu bambimbi mu divuda, A Yawe ayi vunzikisa mambu mawu bantuba. Bila ndilembo moni makhemi ayi ziphaka mu divula.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
Muini ayi builu, makhemi ayi ziphaka bizungidila bibaka bi divula; diela dimbimbi ayi kambu dukisa zitsila bieka mu khati divula.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.
Mbivusu kiawu kisalu kieka mu khati divula; khuamusu ayi luvunu bikadi botuka mu zinzila zi divula.
12 For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
Enati mbeni wumfingidi nganu ndikimba moyo; enati mutu wukundendanga niandi weti kukiniemisa va ntualꞌama nganu ndisuama kuama va ntualꞌama.
13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;
Vayi ngeyo, mutu banga minu wundiatanga yama va kimosi; nkundi ama wu kuikama;
14 We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.
mutu wowo wubedi kalanga yama mu khini; wubedi kibanga va kimosi ayi nkangu wu batu ku Nzo Nzambi!
15 May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them. (Sheol h7585)
Bika lufua lu bibuila bambeni ziama mu kinzimbukila ayi bika bakuluka bamoyo ku tsi bafua! Bila mambimbi mabakudi buangu va khatitsikꞌawa, (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Mbadi minu, ndintela Nzambi, ayi Yave wuphukisidi.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.
Yiba nsuka, midi ayi masika, Ndieti yamikina mu ziphasi; ayi weti wa mbembo ama.
18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.
Wukukhulanga wumbimba, mu kambu sumbula mu mvita yi banduanisa ka diambu ko bawombo banduanisa.
19 God shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, (Selah) such as have no changes, and fear not God.
Nzambi wunyadila va kundu kiandi ki luyalu mu zithangu zioso wela kuba wa ayi wela kuba monisa phasi; batu bobo balendi balula zinzila ziawu ko ayi bakinzikanga Nzambi ko.
20 He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
Mutu wundiatanga yama wulembo nuanisa bakundi bandi wubundula Nguizani andi.
21 Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.
Mambu mandi ndelo madi banga dibela muaki mvita yidi mu ntimꞌandi; Mambu mandi madi malebila viokila mafuta muaki madi banga bisabala bikubimini mu vonda.
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Yekula bizitu biaku kuidi Yave, niandi wela kukindisa; kalendi tala ko ti mutu wusonga kabua.
23 But Thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the nethermost pit; men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; but as for me, I will trust in Thee.
Vayi ngeyo Nzambi, wela buisa batu bambimbi; mintengudi mi menga ayi bankua livunu bela dukisa ko ndambu yi bilumbu biawu; vayi minu diana diama didi mu ngeyo.
