Psalms 74
1 Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
Nkunga Asafi. Bila mbi wutulozidi mu zithangu zioso, a Nzambi e? Bila mbi wufuemini minkangu miaku mi mamemi miomi weti dikila e?
2 Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.
Tebukila batu baku moyo; bobo wukibakila thama; dikanda di kiuka kiaku, diodi wukula. Mongo wu Sioni, koko wuvuanda.
3 Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
Balula zithambi ziaku ku ndambu bibuangu bitiolumunu mu mvu ka mvu. Zimbivusu zioso ziozi mbeni kavanga mu buangu kinlongo.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
Batu balendidi balembo vomi va buangu kioki wutudenginina; batula bidalapo biawu banga dimbu ki ndungunu.
5 It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
Badi banga batu bannanguna soka mu zenga minti ku nsitu widi khoba.
6 And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
Bakosikisa mabaya moso momo bamana fikula mu bisoka biawu ayi zi malito ziawu.
7 They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
Bazinisa buangu kiaku kinlongo mu mbazu; basumuna buangu kieti vuandanga dizina diaku.
8 They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
Babedi tubanga mu mintima miawu: “Tuela kuba kosikisa mvimba” Bazinisa mu mbazu bibuangu bioso biobi beti buongimina Nzambi mu tsi.
9 We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Bakadi kutumonisa kadi kumu kimosi kusiedi mimbikudi ko. Kadi mutu wumosi mu beto zebi keni nate thangu mbi mama mela tatamana bela e?
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
Nate thangu mbi mbeni kela kusekinina, a Nzambi e? Nate thangu mbi mutu wundendidi kela lenzilanga dizina diaku mu zithangu zioso e?
11 Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
Bila mbi kangidi koko kuaku, koko kuaku ku lubakala e? Bonga kuawu mu mimfutu mi kukhutu kiaku ayi wuba bungi.
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Vayi ngeyo Nzambi, ngeyo ntinu ama tona muna tona; ngeyo weti nata phulusu va ntoto.
13 Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
Keti ngeyo wuvasa mbu mu lulendo luaku; wukosikisa mintu mi bisimbi bi minlangu;
14 Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.
keti ngeyo wukosikisa mintu mi Leviatani, wumvana banga bidia kuidi bibulu bi dikanga
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
Keti ngeyo wuzibula zitho zi minlangu ayi mimvuila mi minlangu Ngeyo wusikisa minlangu minneni miomi mieti kumba mu zithangu zioso.
16 Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
Ngeyo vuidi muini, ayi ngeyo vuidi builu; ngeyo wuvanga ngondi ayi thangu.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.
Keti ngeyo wumana vanga zindilu zioso zi ntoto, ngeyo wuvanga tsungi yi muini wu ngolo ayi yi kiozi kingolo.
18 Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.
Tebuka moyo buevi mbeni kalembo sekinina, a Yave, buevi bivungisi balenzila dizina diaku!
19 O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.
Kadi yekula luzingu lu dibembi diaku kuidi bibulu bi nganzi ayi kadi thumbu zimbakana luzingu lu batu baku badi mu phasi.
20 Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
Bengudila Nguizani aku thalu; bila bisuamunu biyindulungu makhemi bifulukidi mu bibuangu bitombi bi ntoto.
21 O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.
Kadi tala ti mutu wuyamusu kavutuka mu tsoni Bika nkua kiadi ayi nsukami bazitisa dizina diaku.
22 Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
Telama a Nzambi! Wukinungisa! Tebukila moyo buevi bivungisi bilembo sekinina mu bilumbu bioso.
23 Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.
Kadi zimbakana biyoko bi bambeni ziaku divunzi di bambeni ziaku, diodi dilembo buelamanga thangu ka thangu.
