Psalms 74
1 AN INSTRUCTION OF ASAPH. Why, O God, have You cast off forever? Your anger smokes against the flock of Your pasture.
Nkunga Asafi. Bila mbi wutulozidi mu zithangu zioso, a Nzambi e? Bila mbi wufuemini minkangu miaku mi mamemi miomi weti dikila e?
2 Remember Your congregation [That] You purchased of old, You redeemed the rod of Your inheritance, This Mount Zion—You dwelt in it.
Tebukila batu baku moyo; bobo wukibakila thama; dikanda di kiuka kiaku, diodi wukula. Mongo wu Sioni, koko wuvuanda.
3 Lift up Your steps to the continuous desolations, Everything the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary.
Balula zithambi ziaku ku ndambu bibuangu bitiolumunu mu mvu ka mvu. Zimbivusu zioso ziozi mbeni kavanga mu buangu kinlongo.
4 Your adversaries have roared, In the midst of Your meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.
Batu balendidi balembo vomi va buangu kioki wutudenginina; batula bidalapo biawu banga dimbu ki ndungunu.
5 He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood—axes.
Badi banga batu bannanguna soka mu zenga minti ku nsitu widi khoba.
6 And now they break down its engravings, Together, with axe and hatchet,
Bakosikisa mabaya moso momo bamana fikula mu bisoka biawu ayi zi malito ziawu.
7 They have sent Your sanctuary into fire, They defiled the Dwelling Place of Your Name to the earth,
Bazinisa buangu kiaku kinlongo mu mbazu; basumuna buangu kieti vuandanga dizina diaku.
8 They said in their hearts, “Let us oppress them together,” They burned all the meeting-places of God in the land.
Babedi tubanga mu mintima miawu: “Tuela kuba kosikisa mvimba” Bazinisa mu mbazu bibuangu bioso biobi beti buongimina Nzambi mu tsi.
9 We have not seen our ensigns, There is no longer a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing how long.
Bakadi kutumonisa kadi kumu kimosi kusiedi mimbikudi ko. Kadi mutu wumosi mu beto zebi keni nate thangu mbi mama mela tatamana bela e?
10 Until when, O God, does an adversary reproach? Does an enemy despise Your Name forever?
Nate thangu mbi mbeni kela kusekinina, a Nzambi e? Nate thangu mbi mutu wundendidi kela lenzilanga dizina diaku mu zithangu zioso e?
11 Why do You turn back Your hand, Even Your right hand? Remove [it] from the midst of Your bosom.
Bila mbi kangidi koko kuaku, koko kuaku ku lubakala e? Bonga kuawu mu mimfutu mi kukhutu kiaku ayi wuba bungi.
12 And God [is] my king of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Vayi ngeyo Nzambi, ngeyo ntinu ama tona muna tona; ngeyo weti nata phulusu va ntoto.
13 You have divided [the] sea by Your strength, You have shattered heads of dragons by the waters,
Keti ngeyo wuvasa mbu mu lulendo luaku; wukosikisa mintu mi bisimbi bi minlangu;
14 You have broken the heads of leviathan, You make him food for the people of desert-dwellers.
keti ngeyo wukosikisa mintu mi Leviatani, wumvana banga bidia kuidi bibulu bi dikanga
15 You have cleaved a fountain and a stream, You have dried up perennial flowings.
Keti ngeyo wuzibula zitho zi minlangu ayi mimvuila mi minlangu Ngeyo wusikisa minlangu minneni miomi mieti kumba mu zithangu zioso.
16 The day [is] Yours, The night [is] also Yours, You have prepared a light-giver—the sun.
Ngeyo vuidi muini, ayi ngeyo vuidi builu; ngeyo wuvanga ngondi ayi thangu.
17 You have set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter—You have formed them.
Keti ngeyo wumana vanga zindilu zioso zi ntoto, ngeyo wuvanga tsungi yi muini wu ngolo ayi yi kiozi kingolo.
18 Remember this—an enemy reproached YHWH, And a foolish people have despised Your Name.
Tebuka moyo buevi mbeni kalembo sekinina, a Yave, buevi bivungisi balenzila dizina diaku!
19 Do not give up to a [wild] creature, The soul of Your turtle-dove, Do not forget the life of Your poor ones forever.
Kadi yekula luzingu lu dibembi diaku kuidi bibulu bi nganzi ayi kadi thumbu zimbakana luzingu lu batu baku badi mu phasi.
20 Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.
Bengudila Nguizani aku thalu; bila bisuamunu biyindulungu makhemi bifulukidi mu bibuangu bitombi bi ntoto.
21 Do not let the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Your Name,
Kadi tala ti mutu wuyamusu kavutuka mu tsoni Bika nkua kiadi ayi nsukami bazitisa dizina diaku.
22 Arise, O God, plead Your plea, Remember Your reproach from a fool all the day.
Telama a Nzambi! Wukinungisa! Tebukila moyo buevi bivungisi bilembo sekinina mu bilumbu bioso.
23 Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The noise of Your withstanders is going up continually!
Kadi zimbakana biyoko bi bambeni ziaku divunzi di bambeni ziaku, diodi dilembo buelamanga thangu ka thangu.
