Psalms 124

1 A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

Nkunga Davidi wunyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Bika Iseli katuba: Enati Yave kasia ba ku ndambuꞌeto ko;

2 If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

Enati Yave kasia ba ku ndambu eto ko mu thangu batu batelama mu kutunuanisa;

3 Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

mu thangu nganzi awu yitubuila, keti nganu mina batumina bamoyo;

4 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

khuka nlangu yitumbu kutuvitumuna ayi nguma yi nlangu yitudiamisa,

5 Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

minlangu mi nguma mitulalumuna.

6 Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

Nzitusu wuba kuidi Yave mutu wowo wukambu kutuyekula batukanzuna mu meno ma miunu miawu.

7 Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

Tutina banga nuni bu keti tinina mu dikondi di ntambi wu zinuni. Dikondi dikanzuka ayi beto tutina.

8 Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!

Lusadusu lueto luidi mu dizina di Yave, mvangi wu diyilu ayi ntoto.
