Psalms 140
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O YHWH, from an evil man, Keep me from one of violence.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Wukhudi, a Yave, mu mutu wumbimbi; wukheba mu mutu wu makhemi;
2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
bobo banyindulanga zikhanu zimbimbi mu mintima miawu ayi bantombanga lumbu ka lumbu nuana mvita.
3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of a viper [is] under their lips. (Selah)
Beti kitula ludimi luawu meno banga lu nioka; mitsa mi bikusa midi mu bididi biawu.
4 Preserve me, YHWH, from the hands of the wicked, Keep me from one of violence, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
Wukheba, a Yave, mu mutu wumbimbi. Wuthanina mu batu badi makhemi; bobo beti kubika zikhanu mu buisa malu mama.
5 The proud hid a snare for me—and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, They have set snares for me. (Selah)
Batu ba luniemo bathambila makondi; bayalumuna minsinga mi makondi mawu ayi bathambila mintambu muyenda nsolo ama.
6 I have said to YHWH, “You [are] my God, Hear, YHWH, the voice of my supplications.”
A Yave, ndituba kuidi ngeyo: “ngeyo Nzambi ama.” Wa, a Yave, yamikina kuama bu ndintomba monono kiadi.
7 O YHWH, my Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of armor.
A Yave, mutu wumvanganga makazodidi ngeyo nkudi ama wu ngolo ngeyo weti kaka ntuꞌama mu lumbu ki mvita.
8 Do not grant, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked, Do not bring forth his wicked scheme, They are high. (Selah)
Kadi tala zitsatu zi batu bambimbi zivangama, a Yave. Kadi tala ti zikhanu ziawu zinunga nganu bela ba luniemo.
9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covers them.
Bika mintu mi bobo banzungididi mifuku kuidi ziphasi ziozi bididi biawu bitotula.
10 They cause burning coals to fall on themselves, He casts them into fire, Into deep pits—they do not arise.
Bika makala ma mbazu mabua va bawu. Bika balozo ku mbazu, ku tsi mabulu madi nyamba; babika buela telama.
11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunts to overflowing.
Bika mimvuezi mibika zingila mu tsi; bika mabienga malandakana mu kambu vonga batu badi makhemi.
12 I have known that YHWH executes The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
Nzebi ti Yave weti vana luvovomo lusonga kuidi nsukami ayi wela nuanina minsukami.
13 Surely the righteous give thanks to Your Name, The upright dwell with Your presence!
Bukiedika, basonga bela zitisa dizina diaku ayi batu badi mintima milulama bela zingila va ntualꞌaku.
