Psalms 94
1 A Psalm of David for the fourth [day] of the week. The Lord is a God of vengeance; the God of vengeance has declared himself.
A Yave, Nzambi wumvutulanga landi. A Nzambi, wumvutulanga landi; bika wukimonisa!
2 Be you exalted, you that judge the earth: render a reward to the proud.
Telama kuaku ngeyo zuzi di ntoto; bika wuvutudila batu badi luniemo momo bafueni tambula.
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord, how long shall sinners boast?
Nate thangu mbi batu bambimbi, a Yave? Nate thangu mbi batu bambimbi bela monanga khini e?
4 They will utter and speak unrighteousness; all the workers of iniquity will speak [so].
Bawu balembo muangisa mambu ma luniemo. Batu boso bobo beti vanga mambimbi bafulukidi mu luyanu.
5 They have afflicted your people, O Lord, and hurt your heritage.
Bawu balembo diatidila batu baku, a Yave, balembo yamisa kiuka kiaku.
6 They have slain the widow and fatherless, and murdered the stranger.
Balembo vondi difuola ayi nkebi; balembo vondi bana ba sana.
7 And they said, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
Balembo tubi: “Yave kakadi mona ayi Nzambi yi Yakobi kakadi matala.”
8 Understand now, you simple among the people; and you fools, at length be wise.
Lukeba beno bakambulu diela luidi va khatitsika batu! Bosi beno bivungisi thangu mbi luela bela nzayilu e?
9 He that planted the ear, does he not hear? or he that formed the eye, does not he perceive?
Niandi wutula dikutu kalendi wa ko e? Niandi wukubika dieso kalendo mona ko e?
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he punish, [even] he that teaches man knowledge?
Niandi weti vana makanda thumbudulu makanda kalendi vana thumbudulu ko e? Niandi ko weti longa mutu kambulu nzayilu e?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
Yave zebi mayindu ma mutu; zebi ti mawu madi kaka maphamba.
12 Blessed is the man whoever you shall chasten, O Lord, and shall teach him out of your law;
Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo weti vana thumbudulu, a Yave, mutu wowo weti longila mu Mina miaku.
13 to give him rest from evil days, until a pit be digged for the sinful one.
Weti kumvana lusadusu mu bilumbu bi phasi nate dibulu dinneni diela mana kabu mu diambu di batu bambimbi.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
Bila Yave kalendi yekula batu bandi ko kalendi loza kiuka kiandi ko.
15 until righteousness return to judgment, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. (Pause)
Tsambusu yela buela ba diaka yisonga ayi baboso bobo badi mintima milulama bela landakana yawu.
16 Who will rise up for me against the transgressors? or who will stand up with me against the workers of iniquity?
Nani wela kuthelumina va ntuala batu bambimbi e? Nani wela telama mu diambu diama mu nuanisa bobo bamvanganga mambimbi e?
17 If the Lord had not helped me, my soul had almost sojourned in Hades.
Enati Yave kasia kuphana lusadusu ko nganu mu thinu nsualu ndivuandila dio sui mu lufua.
18 If I said, My foot has been moved;
Mu thangu ndituba; “kulu kuama kueka sialumuka”; luzolo luaku, a Yave, lutsimba.
19 your mercy, O Lord, helped me. O Lord, according to the multitude of my griefs within my heart, your consolation have soothed my soul.
Mu thangu mayindu maba mawombo mu minu; mbombolo aku yinata khini mu muelꞌama.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with you, which frames mischief by an ordinance?
Kundu ki luyalu ki batu bamvanganga mambimbi kilenda ba kithuadi ayi ngeyo ko e? Kioki kinatanga khuamusu mu zinzengolo ziandi e?
21 They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
Bankutakananga mu nuanisa batu basonga ayi zengila mutu kambu bila nkanu wu lufua.
22 But the Lord was my refuge; and my God the helper of my hope.
Vayi Yave wuyika suamunu kiama kingolo; ayi Nzambi ama niandi ditadi dingolo diodi ndieti suamina.
23 And he will recompense to them their iniquity and their wickedness: the Lord our God shall utterly destroy them.
Wela kuba vutudila mu diambu di masumu mawu, ayi wela kuba bunga mu diambu di mambimbi mawu. Yave, Nzambi eto, wela kuba bunga.
