Psalms 37
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.
Nkunga Davidi. Kadi fuemina batu bamvanganga mambimbi. Kadi monanga kikhenene bobo bamvanganga mambimbi.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Bila banga biti, bela yuma mu nsualu; banga biti bi nlangu bela lebuka mu nsualu.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Tula diana diaku mu Yave ayi vanga mamboti; buna wela vuanda mu tsi ayi wela zingila mu ndembama.
4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Mona khini mu Yave buna wela kuvana mambu mantomba ntimꞌaku.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
Yekula nzilꞌaku kuidi Yave, Tula diana diaku mu niandi, buna wela vanga diambu diadi:
6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
Wela kienzula busonga buaku banga kiezila ki khiesa buisi nzengolo yi diambu diaku banga thangu va midi.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Ba dio sui va ntuala Yave, ayi wuntadidila mu mvibudulu kadi fuemina batu bu balembo moni mamboti mu nzilꞌandi; ayi kadi fuemina batu balembo sadila makani mawu mambimbi.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
Bika buela fuema ayi zimbakana nganzi; kadi fuema bila dieti nata kaka ku mambu mambimbi.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
Bila bobo bamvanganga mambimbi bela lalukusu; vayi bobo bantulanga diana diawu mu Yave bela tambula tsi banga kiuka.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be: ] yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be].
Fioti kuandi fisiedi, buna batu bambimbi balendi buela monika ko; buna wela tala buangu kibabedi vayi bela va ba ko.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Vayi minlembami miela tambula tsi banga kiuka ayi miela monanga khini mu ndembama yiwombo.
12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.
Batu bambimbi bamfielanga batu basonga ayi beti kuba kuetila meno.
13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.
Yave wunsevanga mutu wumbimbi; bila zebi ti lumbu kiandi kalembo yizi.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, [and] to slay such as be of upright conversation.
Batu bambimbi bavola bisabala ayi baleka mimbasa mu diambu di vonda nkua kiadi ayi mutu wusukama; mu diambu di zenga bobo bandiatanga mu nzila yi lulama.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Bisabala biawu biela kota mu mintima miawu veka; ayi mimbasa miawu miela kelulu.
16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many wicked.
Baka ku fioti ku mutu wusonga kulutidi ayi baka kuphuedi ku wombo di batu bambimbi.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.
Bila lulendo lu batu bambimbi luela kelulu, vayi Yave wunsimbanga batu basonga.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Bilumbu bi batu bakambulu tsembolo bizabikini kuidi Yave ayi kiuka kiawu kizingilanga mu zithangu zioso.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Mu thangu yi ziphasi, balendi yuma ko mu lumbu ki nzala, bawu bela mona khini yiwombo.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be] as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
Vayi batu bambimbi bela bungana. Bambeni zi Yave, badi banga kitoko ki zitsola, ziela lalakana; ziela lalakana banga muisi.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
Mutu wumbimbi wundevanga vayi kavutulanga ko; Vayi mutu wusonga weti kabula mu luzolo lu ntima.
22 For [such as be] blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and [they that be] cursed of him shall be cut off.
Bobo Yave kasakumuna bela tambula tsi banga kiuka, vayi bobo kasinga bela lalukusu.
23 The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.
Enati Yave mueni khini mu nzila yi mutu buna wunkindisanga zithambi zi mutu beni.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.
Ka diambu ko bumini thutu; kalendi bua ko; bila Yave wukunsimbidilanga mu koko kuandi.
25 I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
Ndiba ditoko, buabu ndieka nunu; vayi ndisia mona ko mutu wusonga wuyekolo voti ndisia mona ko bana bandi balomba dipha.
26 [He is] ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed [is] blessed.
Mu zithangu zioso, beti kabula ayi vananga mu luzolo Bana bawu bela sakumunu.
27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
Tina mambimbi; vanga mamboti buna wela vuanda mu tsi mu zithangu zioso.
28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.
Bila Yave wunzolanga mambu masonga ayi kalendi zimbakana ko mikhuikizi miandi. Bela kebungu mu zithangu zioso vayi nkuna wu batu bambimbi wela lalukusu.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.
Batu basonga bela tambula tsi banga kiuka ayi bela mukalanga mu zithangu zioso.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.
Munu wu mutu wusonga wuntotulanga mambu ma nduenga ayi ludimi luandi luntubanga mambu ma lulama.
31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Mina mi Nzambi andi midi mu ntimꞌandi; Malu mandi malendi sialumuka ko.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
Mutu wumbimbi wumfielanga mutu wusonga ayi wuntombanga kumvondisa.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Yave kalendi yekula ko basonga mu lulendo lu batu bambimbi voti kuba bika babedoso bu balembo sambusu.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see [it].
Tadidila Yave, ayi keba nzilꞌandi. Buna wela kuyayisa mu diambu wutambula tsi banga kiuka; thangu batu bambimbi bela lalukusu, ngeyo wela bumona.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
Ndimona mutu wumbimbi, ayi mutu kondolo kiadi, wuyunduka bumboti banga nti wu nlangu mu ntoto wowo kabutukila.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he [was] not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Niandi wuvioka, nsualu ayi kasiedi ko. Ndintombidi ngolo vayi kasia monika ko.
37 Mark the perfect [man], and behold the upright: for the end of [that] man [is] peace.
Fiongunina mutu kambulu tsembolo ayi tala tala mutu wu lulama buna wela mona ti tsukulu yi mutu wowo yidi tsukulu yi ndembama.
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.
Vayi bankua masumu boso bela vondo va kimosi tsukulu yi batu bambimbi yela ba lalukusu.
39 But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble.
Phulusu yi batu basonga kuidi Yave yeti ba. Niandi zingolo ziawu mu thangu yi ziphasi.
40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
Yave wukubasadisanga ayi wukubakulanga; wukubakulanga mu batu bambimbi ayi wukubavukisanga bila mu niandi beti suamina.
