Psalms 35
1 BY DAVID. Strive, YHWH, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
Nkunga Davidi. Zonzisa, a Yave, bobo balembo nzonzisa. Nuanisa bobo balembo nduanisa,
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
simba nkaku wu fioti ayi wunneni telama ayi yiza wutsadisa.
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, “I [am] your salvation.”
Bonga dionga difioti ayi dinneni ayi kaka nzila yi bobo balembo ndandakana kamba muelꞌama: “Minu ndidi phulusu aku.”
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
Bika batu babo bantombanga luzingu luama baba dio kombolo ayi bafua tsoni. Bika bobo bantombanga mabienga mama bavutuka ku mbusa ayi baba mu divuda;
5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of YHWH driving away.
bika baba banga mavevolo mamvevomono kuidi phemo va kimosi ayi mbasi yi Yave yi bakuka.
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of YHWH—their pursuer.
Bika nsolo awu wuba tombi ayi ndelo. Va kimosi ayi mbasi Yave yi balandakana.
7 For without cause they hid their net [in] a pit for me, Without cause they dug for my soul.
Bila bathambididi dikondi diawu mu kambu bila; mu kambu kadi bila bakabidi dibulu dinneni mu diambu diama.
8 Desolation meets him—he does not know, And his net that he hid catches him, He falls into it for desolation.
Bika mbivusulu yi babuila mu kinzimbukila ayi bika dikondi diodi batamba bawu veka dibabuila; bika babua mu dibulu, mu diambu di mbivusulu awu.
9 And my soul is joyful in YHWH, It rejoices in His salvation.
Buna muelꞌama wela mona khini mu Yave ayi wela yangalala mu phulusu andi.
10 All my bones say, “YHWH, who is like You, Delivering the poor from the [one] stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.”
Buna nitu ama yimvimba yela yamikina: “nani widi banga ngeyo Yave? Ngeyo weti kula nsukami mu mioko mi mutu wunlutidi zingolo; nsukami ayi nkua mabienga mu mioko mi mutu wowo wulembo bayibi.”
11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
Bambangi bakondolo kiadi zilembo telama; zilembo ndiuvula buivu mu mambu ma khambulu kuama zaba.
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
Bamvutudidi mambimbi mu mamboti. Bayekudi muelꞌama wawu veka.
13 And I—in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled my soul with fastings, And my prayer returns to my bosom.
Vayi bu baba mu kimbevo; minu ndivuata tsaku. Ndikikulula mu kukifuisa nzala mu diambu di lusambulu Thangu zitsambulu ziama zivutuka kuidi minu mu kambu mvutu.
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I habitually walked, As a mourner for a mother, I have bowed down mourning.
Ndibedi diatanga ku tsi kiadi banga mu diambu di nkundi ama voti khomba ama. Ndibedi komvikanga ntu ku tsi mu diambu di kiadi banga minu ndindila ngudi ama.
15 And they have rejoiced in my halting, And have been gathered together, The strikers were gathered against me, And I have not known, They have torn, and they have not ceased;
Minu bu ndibumina thutu, bakutakana va kimosi mu khini. Batu bakutakana mu diambu di kunduanisa minu mu kambu zaba diambu. Bawu bamfinga mu kambu vonga.
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing their teeth against me.
Banga batu bobo bankinzikanga ko mambu ma Nzambi, balembo tsekinina mu bu mbimbi balembo khuetila meso.
17 Lord, how long do You behold? Keep my soul back from their desolations, My only one from young lions.
A Yave, nate thangu mbi wela kumatadidilanga e? Kula luzingu luama mu mbivusu awu; kula luzingu luama luthalu mu zikhosi zioso.
18 I thank You in a great assembly, I praise You among a mighty people.
Ndiela kuvutudila matondo mu lukutukunu lunneni; va khatitsika batu bawombo ndiela kuzitisa.
19 Do not let my enemies rejoice over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
Kadi tala ti bamona khini mu diambu diama, bobo badi bambeni ziama mu kambu bila; Kadi tala ti bobo bakundenganga mu kambu bila, bandiengudila meso mu bumbimbi.
20 For they do not speak peace, And against the quiet of the land, They devise deceitful words,
Bayolukilanga ndembama ko; vayi banyindulanga mambu ma luvunu mu diambu di vunina bobo banzingilanga mu ndembama mu tsi.
21 And they enlarge their mouth against me, They said, “Aha, aha, our eye has seen.”
Balembo nzibudila miunu ayi balembo tubi: “A, a… mu meso meto veka tumueni mawu.”
22 You have seen, O YHWH, Do not be silent, O Lord—do not be far from me,
A Yave, ngeyo wumona mambu momo bika ba dio sui, kadi kuthatukila, a Yave,
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
kotuka ayi telama mu zonzika, Nzambi ama ayi Yave ama.
24 Judge me according to Your righteousness, O YHWH my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
Wundungisa boso buididi busonga buaku, a Yave, Nzambi ama; ayi kadi tala ti bamona khini mu diambu diama.
25 They do not say in their heart, “Aha, our desire.” They do not say, “We swallowed him up.”
Kadi kuba bika bayindula: “A, a … buawu bobo tutididi.” Voti babika tuba: “beto tumminini.”
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
Bika babo bammonanga khini mu ziphasi ziama, bafua tsoni ayi baba dio kombolo Bika bobo balembo kukiniemisanga bawu veka mu diambu diama bafua tsoni ayi baba dio kombolo.
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they continually say, “YHWH is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.”
Bika bobo bamonanga khini mu ndungunu ama bamonanga khini ayi bayangadala bika batuba mu zithangu zioso: “Bika Yave kayayusu, niandi wummonanga khini mu mamboti ma kisadi kiandi.”
28 And my tongue utters Your righteousness, All the day Your praise!
Buna ludimi luama luela yolukila busonga buaku; ayi minzitusu miaku mu lumbu kimvimba.
