Psalms 90
1 BOOK FOURTH: “A prayer of Moses the man of God.” Lord, a place of refuge hast thou been unto us in all generations.
Lusambulu lu Moyize, mutu Nzambi. Yave, ngeyo wuba buangu kieto kivuanda mu tsungi ka tsungi.
2 Before yet the mountains were brought forth, or thou hadst ever produced the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Tuamina miongo mibutuka voti tuamina wuvanga ntoto ayi nza; tona mu thangu ka thangu, ngeyo widi Nzambi.
3 Thou turnest man to contrition, and sayest, Return ye children of men.
Ngeyo wumvutulanga batu mu fundu-fundu bu weti tuba: “Vutuka mu fundu-fundu, e e bana ba batu.”
4 For a thousand years are in thy eyes but as the yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
Bila va meso maku mili di mimvu midedikini banga lumbu kimosi kiviokidi zono; voti banga thangu yimosi va builu,
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning [they grow] like the grass which changeth.
ngeyo weti botula batu mu tulu tu lufua, badi banga biti bimona va nsuka.
6 In the morning it blossometh, and is changed: in the evening it is mowed off, and withereth.
Va nsuka bimenini bimona, va masika bilebukidi ayi biyumini.
7 For [thus] are we consumed by thy anger, and by thy fury are we terrified.
Tulembo lalakana mu diambu di nganzi aku ayi tsisi tulembo moni mu diambu di miangu miaku.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our concealed sins before the light of thy countenance.
Ngeyo wutudidi mambimbi meto va ntualꞌaku, masumu meto masuama va ntuala kiezila ki zizi kiaku.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we consume our years like a word that is spoken.
Bilumbu bieto bioso bilembo mani ku tsi nganzi aku; tulembo manisa mimvu mieto ayi luniongo.
10 The days of our years in this life are seventy years; and if by uncommon vigor they be eighty, yet is their greatness trouble and mishap; for it soon hasteneth off, and we fly away.
Tezo ki bilumbu bieto kidi ki lusambudi lumimvu voti lunana enati ngolo zidi yeto. Sina kiawu kidi kaki kiphasi ayi kimianga. Bila luzingu lueti lulembo vioki nsualu ayi tulembo yendi.
11 Who knoweth the strength of thy anger, and thy wrath which is like the fear of thee?
Nani zebi lulendo lu nganzi aku e? Muingi miangu miaku miba tola banga lukinzu lolo fueni tambula.
12 Let us then know how to number our days, that we may obtain a heart endowed with wisdom.
Wutulongisa tanga bilumbu bieto mu bufuana muingi tubaka ntima wu duenga.
13 Return, O Lord, how long yet? and bethink thee concerning thy servants.
Bika buela fuema, a Yave. Nate thangu mbi mela bela e? Bika wumona bisadi biaku kiadi.
14 O satisfy us in the morning with thy kindness, that we may be glad and rejoice throughout all our days.
Mu nsuka, bika wutuyukutisa mu luzolo luaku lu ngolo; buna tuela yimbilanga mu khini ayi buna tuela yangalala mu bilumbu bioso.
15 Cause us to rejoice as many days as those wherein thou hast afflicted us, the years wherein we have seen unhappiness.
Wutuyangidikanga boso buididi bilumbu biobi wutumonisina phasi boso buididi mimvu miomi tuyamusunu.
16 Let thy act be visible on thy servants, and thy majesty over their children.
Bika mavanga maku mamonoso kuidi bisadi biaku; kiezila kiaku kuidi bana bawu.
17 And may the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us; and the work of our hands do thou firmly establish upon us: yea, the work of our hands—firmly establish thou it.
Bika nlemvo wu Yave, Nzambi eto wubanga va beto, bika mu diambu dieto, wukindisa kisalu ki mioko mieto. Nyinga, kindisa kisalu ki mioko mieto.
