< Psalms 63 >
1 [A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah.] God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.
Nkunga Davidi mu thangu kaba mu dikanga di Yuda. A Nzambi! Ngeyo widi Nzambiꞌama, mu kiedika ngeyo ndintomba; muelꞌama wulembo moni phuila yi ngeyo; nitu ama tsatu yidi mu kumona mu tsi yi yuma; yibiva; yikondolo nlangu;
2 So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.
Ndimmona mu buangu kinlongo ndimona lulendo luaku ayi nkembo aku.
3 Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.
Bila luzolo luaku luviatukidi luzingu; bididi biama biela kukembisa.
4 So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.
Ndiela kuzitisa thangu yoso ndidi moyo. Mu diambu di dizina diaku, ndiela vumuna mioko miama ku yilu.
5 My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,
Muelꞌama wela yukuta banga kimvuama kiwombo ki bidia mu minkunga bididi bi munu ama biela kuzitisa.
6 when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.
Va mbukꞌama ndikutebukilanga moyo ndieti kuyindula builu bu mvimba.
7 For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.
Bila ngeyo lusadusu luama, ayi ndilembo yimbila ku tsi kitsusula ki mavavi maku.
8 My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
Muelꞌama widi wukangama mu ngeyo; ayi koko kuaku kulubakala kueti kukhindisa.
9 But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Bobo beti tomba luzingu luama bela bungana; bela kota kuna tsi ntoto.
10 They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be jackal food.
Bela kuba yekula mu lulendo lu sabala; bela kituka bidia bi zimbua zi nsitu.
11 But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
Vayi Ntinu wela mona khini mu Nzambi; baboso bobo banleva ndefi mu dizina di Nzambi bela kunzitisa. Bila miunu mi bankua luvunu miela kangama.
