Psalms 124

1 [A Song of Ascents. By David.] If it had not been YHWH who was on our side, let Israel now say,

Nkunga Davidi wunyimbudulu mu nzila yikuendila ku nzo Yave. Bika Iseli katuba: Enati Yave kasia ba ku ndambuꞌeto ko;

2 if it had not been YHWH who was on our side, when men rose up against us;

Enati Yave kasia ba ku ndambu eto ko mu thangu batu batelama mu kutunuanisa;

3 then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us;

mu thangu nganzi awu yitubuila, keti nganu mina batumina bamoyo;

4 then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul;

khuka nlangu yitumbu kutuvitumuna ayi nguma yi nlangu yitudiamisa,

5 then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

minlangu mi nguma mitulalumuna.

6 Blessed be YHWH, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Nzitusu wuba kuidi Yave mutu wowo wukambu kutuyekula batukanzuna mu meno ma miunu miawu.

7 Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler's snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

Tutina banga nuni bu keti tinina mu dikondi di ntambi wu zinuni. Dikondi dikanzuka ayi beto tutina.

8 Our help is in the name of YHWH, who made heaven and earth.

Lusadusu lueto luidi mu dizina di Yave, mvangi wu diyilu ayi ntoto.
