Psalms 34
1 BY DAVID, IN HIS CHANGING HIS BEHAVIOR BEFORE ABIMELECH, AND HE DRIVES HIM AWAY, AND HE GOES. [ALEPH-BET] I bless YHWH at all times, His praise [is] continually in my mouth.
Nkunga Davidi mu thangu kavuna lawuka va meso ma Abimeleki bu kankuka ayi Davidi wuyenda. Ndiela yayisa Yave mu zithangu zioso; Nzitusu andi wela ba mu bididi biama mu kadika thangu.
2 In YHWH my soul boasts herself, The humble hear and rejoice.
Muelꞌama wela kiniemisa mu Yave. Bika badi mu phasi bawa ayi bamona khini.
3 Ascribe greatness to YHWH with me, And we exalt His Name together.
Kembisanu Yave va kimosi ayi minu, bika tuyayisanu dizina diandi va kimosi,
4 I sought YHWH, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.
Nditomba Yave, niandi wuphana mvutu ayi niandi wukhula mu zitsisi ziama zioso.
5 They looked expectingly to Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
Batu bobo batala kuidi niandi bakienzulu ayi bizizi biawu bilendi mona tsoni nkutu ko.
6 This poor [one] called, and YHWH heard, And saved him from all his distresses.
Nsukami wawu wutela; ayi Yave wunwa ayi wuphukisa mu ziphasi ziandi zioso.
7 A messenger of YHWH is encamping, Around those who fear Him, And He arms them.
Mbasi Yave yinzungidilanga bobo bankinzikanga Yave ayi wukubakulanga.
8 Taste and see that YHWH [is] good, O the blessedness of the man who trusts in Him.
Lubimba ayi lutala ti Yave widi wumboti; Lusakumunu luidi kuidi mutu wowo wuntombanga suamunu mu niandi.
9 Fear YHWH, you His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
Lukinzika Yave beno banlongo bandi. Bila bobo beti kunkinzika, balendi kambu kima ko.
10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking YHWH do not lack any good,
Zikhosi zimvonganga ayi zimfuanga nzala vayi bobo bantombanga Yave balendi kambu kima ko.
11 Come, children, listen to me, I teach you the fear of YHWH.
Yizanu bana bama, lungua. Ndiela ku lulonga buevi bu kinzikilanga Yave.
12 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
Nani mutu mu beno wunzolanga luzingu, ayi tidi mona bilumbu biwombo bi mboti
13 Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.
Vengumuna ludimi luaku mu mambu mambimbi, ayi bididi biaku mu tuba mambu ma luvunu.
14 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
Botuka mu mambimbi vayi vanga mamboti. Tomba ndembama ayi landakana yawu.
15 The eyes of YHWH [are] to the righteous, And His ears to their cry.
Meso ma Yave mantalanga basonga ayi makutu mandi madi mazibuka bu beti yamikina.
16 (The face of YHWH [is] on doers of evil, To cut off their memorial from earth.)
Yave wunsuekanga zizi kiandi kuidi batu bamvanganga mambimbi mu diambu babika buela tebukulu moyo va ntoto.
17 They cried, and YHWH heard, And delivered them from all their distresses.
Batu basonga banyamikinanga ayi Yave weti kuba wanga ayi wukubakulanga mu ziphasi ziawu zioso.
18 YHWH [is] near to the broken of heart, And He saves the bruised of spirit.
Yave widi wufikama vadi batu bobo badi mintima mi kofakana. Ayi wumvukisanga bobo badi pheve yidi mu kiadi kingolo.
19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous, YHWH delivers him out of them all.
Mutu wusonga wumbuilungu ziphasi ziwombo vayi Yave wunkukulanga mu zizioso.
20 He is keeping all his bones, Not one of them has been broken.
Niandi wunkebanga mimvesi miandi mioso kadi wumosi wulendi keluka ko.
21 Evil puts the wicked to death, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
Mambu mambimbi mela vonda mutu wumbimbi; bobo beti lenda nkua busonga bela bedoso.
22 YHWH redeems the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
Yave wunkulanga bisadi biandi, ayi kadi wumosi mu babo bobo bansuaminanga mu niandi kalendi bedoso ko.
