Psalms 68

1 “To the chief musician, by David, a Psalm or song.” Oh that God would arise, that his enemies might be scattered, and those that hate him might flee before him.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Bika Nzambi katelama; bika bambeni bandi zisasukusu ayi bobo beti kunlenda bantina va ntualꞌandi.

2 As smoke is driven off, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

Banga bueti lalikinina muisi mu phemo, bika wuba lalikisa; banga bueta siutila sile ku mbazu bika batu bambimbi babungana va meso ma Nzambi.

3 But the righteous shall rejoice; they shall exult before God: yea, they shall be exceedingly joyful.

Vayi bika batu basonga bamona khini; ayi bayangalala va ntuala Nzambi, bika bamona mayangi ayi khini yingolo.

4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name; extol him who rideth upon the heavens: the Everlasting is his name, and rejoice before him.

Yimbidilanu Nzambi; yimbidilanu minzitusu mu diambu di dizina diandi; yayisanu mutu wowo wundiatila va phunda mu matuti Dizina diandi Yave; ayi lumona khini va ntualꞌandi.

5 A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

Nzambi niandi widi dise di bisana ayi niandi weti nuanina mafuola. Mu buangu kiandi kinlongo kioki keti vuanda.

6 God places those who are solitary in the midst of their families: he bringeth out those who are bound unto happiness; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Nzambi wumvananga dikanda kuidi bobo badi bawu veka; niandi weti tuadisa basi nloko mu ngimbudulu vayi bankua matingu bawu banzingilanga mu ntoto wu yuma.

7 O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people, when thou didst tread along through the wilderness—Selah—

Mu thangu wutuaminina batu baku ku ntuala, a Nzambi, mu thangu mu dikanga,

8 The earth quaked, also the heavens dropped at the presence of God, yea, this Sinai, at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

ntoto wunikuka, diyilu dinokisa mvula va ntualꞌaku. Va ntuala Nzambi, mutu wu Sinayi va ntuala Nzambi, Nzambi yi Iseli.

9 Rain of beneficence didst thou pour down, O God, whereby thou didst truly strengthen thy heritage, when it was weary.

Ngeyo wunokisa masala mawombo, a Nzambi; ngeyo wukindisa kiuka kiaku mu thangu kivonga.

10 Thy assembly dwelt therein: thou didst prepare it with thy goodness for the afflicted [people]. O God,

Batu baku bavuanda muawu A Nzambi, mu mamboti maku, ngeyo wukubika bima mu diambu di nsukami.

11 The Lord gave [happy] tidings; they are published by the female messengers, a numerous host.

Yave wutuba diambu dimosi: batu bawombo bamonika mu yamikisa mawu.

12 The kings of the armies flee away—flee away: yet she that tarried at home divideth the spoil.

Mintinu ayi minkangu mi masodi milembo tini mu thinu nsualu, mu bika bi batu, batu bakabula biobi baziona mu mvita.

13 When ye lie still between the folds [of your cattle], [ye will be like] the wings of the dove covered with sliver, and her pinions shining with flaming gold.

Lukidi kueno leki va khatitsika bidikulu bi bibulu mavavi ma dibembi diama mavindu palata, zitsala ziandi zivindu nolo yilembo lezama.

14 When the Almighty scattered kings in the midst of her, then even in darkness shone light [as pure] as snow.

Thangu Nzambi nkua ngolo yoso kasasikisa mintinu va ntoto, yiba banga yi matadi ma phembi.

15 A mountain of God is the mount of Bashan; many peaks hath the mount of Bashan.

Miongo mi Basani midi miongo mi nzitusu; miongo mi Basani midi miongo midi zitsongi ziwombo.

16 Why watch ye enviously, ye many-peaked mountains, yonder mountain which God hath chosen for his residence? yea, the Lord will also dwell [there] for ever.

A bila mbi luntadila mu kikhenene, e beno miongo midi zitsongi ziwombo; mongo wowo kasobula mu yadila, kuna niandi veka Yave kela vuandanga mu zithangu zioso.

17 The chariots of God are two myriads; thousands of angels [follow him]: the Lord is among them: so is Sinai holy [among mountains].

Matoma ma mvita ma Yave madi dikumi di zimili ayi zimili yi zimili; Yave wutotukila ku Sinayi mu buangu kiandi kinlongo.

18 Thou didst ascend on high, lead away captives, receive gifts among men, yea, even the rebellious, to dwell among them. O Lord God.

Thangu wukuma ku yilu, wunata mu ntandꞌaku batu bakangama. Wutambula makaba kuidi batu ayi kuidi bankua matingu muingi ngeyo, a Yave Nzambi wuvuanda kuna.

19 Blessed be the Lord; day by day he loadeth us [with benefits]; our God is our salvation. (Selah)

Nzitusu kuidi Yave, kuidi Nzambi mvulusi eto. Niandi weti kutunatina bizitu bieto lumbu ka lumbu. Niandi Nzambi wukutuvananga phulusu.

20 Our God is to us the God of salvation: and by the Eternal the Lord are the escapes from death.

Nzambi eto widi Nzambi weti vukisa. Yave, mutu wumvanganga momo kazodidi, wumvukisanga mu lufua.

21 But God will crush the head of his enemies, the hairy skull of him who walketh in his guiltiness.

Bukiedika, Nzambi wela kosikisa mintu mi bambeni bandi; wela kosikisa mintu mi batu bobo badi zitsuki ziwombo, bobo bandiatilanga mu masumu mawu.

22 The Lord hath said, From Bashan will I bring back, I will bring back from the depths of the sea:

Pfumu tubidi: “Ndiela kuba totula mu Basani, ndiela kuba totula ku tsina yi mbu,

23 In order that thou mayest wade with thy feet in blood, feeding the tongue of thy dogs from the enemies' blood.

Muingi wubuika malu maku mu menga ma bobo beti kulenda ayi ludimi lu zimbua ziaku lubaka kuku kiawu.”

24 Men see thy goings forth, O God! the goings forth of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

Ndiatulu aku yimonika, a Nzambi. Ndiatulu yi Nzambi ama, ayi yi ntinu ama mu buangu kinlongo.

25 First come singers, then follow players on instruments, in the midst of maidens playing on timbrels.

Minyimbidi miba ku ntuala; bosi minsiki mi miziki miba landakana, miba va kimosi bana ba baketo bansika zindungu.

26 In assemblies bless ye God, [praise] the Lord, ye sprung from Israel's fountain.

Bika luzitisa Nzambi mu lukutukunu lunneni, Luzitisa Yave mu dikabu di Iseli!

27 There Benjamin the youngest leadeth them on, the princes of Judah in purple robes, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

Kuna kuidi dikanda di fioti di Benzami, wuba tuadisa, kuna kuba batu bawombo banneni ba Yuda ayi batu banneni ba Zabuloni ayi ba Nefitali.

28 Thy God hath ordained the rule to thee: strengthen, O God, what thou hast wrought for us.

Tumina lulendo luaku, a Nzambi. Wutumonisa zingolo ziaku, a Nzambi banga bobo wutuama vangila.

29 Because of thy temple over Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee.

Mu diambu di nzo aku ku Yelusalemi; mintinu miela kunatina makaba.

30 Rebuke the wild beasts hiding among the reeds, the troops of steers among the calves of nations, that hasten along with presents of silver. He scattereth nations that are eager for the fight.

Tubidila bulu va khatitsika masoso nkangu zingombi zi mbakala va khatitsika bana zingombi zi makanda. Bu kakululu, wulenda nata bitini bi palata. Sasikisa makanda mona khini mu nuana mvita!

31 Nobles will come out of Egypt: Ethiopia will stretch forth eagerly her hands unto God.

Batu bafidusu bela totukila mu Ezipite; Kusi wela kukiyekula niandi veka ku tsi minsua mi Nzambi.

32 Kingdoms of the earth, sing unto God; sing praises unto the Lord: (Selah)

Yimbidilanu Nzambi beno bipfumu bi ntoto; yimbilanu minzitusu kuidi Yave;

33 To him who rideth over the highest heavens, of ancient days: hear! he sendeth forth his voice, the voice of might.

Kuidi mutu wowo wundiatila banga va mbata phunda mu diyilu, mu diyilu di khulu. Mutu wowo wulembo dumu mu mbembo yi lulendo.

34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the skies.

Luyamikisa lulendo lu Nzambi nzitusu andi widi va mbata Iseli lulendo luandi luidi mu matuti.

35 Thou art tremendous, O God, from thy holy residences: O God of Israel, [thou art] he that givest strength and power unto [thy] people. Blessed be God.

Tsisi widi, a Nzambi, mu buangu kiaku kinlongo. Nzambi yi Iseli niandi weti vana lulendo ayi zingolo kuidi batu bandi. Nzitusu wuba kuidi Nzambi.
