Psalms 13

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, YHWH? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. A Yave, nate thangu mbi wela tatamana kunzimbakana mu zithangu zioso e? Nate thangu mbi wela kutsuekilanga zizi kiaku e?

2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

Nate thangu mbi ndiela kukinuanisanga mu mayingu mama e? Nate thangu mbi ndiela bela maniongo mu ntimꞌama mu kadika lumbu e? Nate thangu mbi mbeni ama kela ku ndunginanga e?

3 Look, and answer me, YHWH, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

A Yave, Nzambi ama, wuthadi ayi wuphana mvutu, kienzula meso mama mu diambu ndibika leka tulu tu lufua,

4 Lest my enemy say, "I have prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

mu diambu mbeni ama kabika tuba: “Ndinnungini” ayi muingi batu beti kundenda babika mona khini minu bua.

5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

Vayi minu tsidi diana mu luzolo luaku lungolo. Ntimꞌama wulembo moni khini mu phulusu aku. Ndiela yimbidila Yave bila niandi wuphangidi mamboti.

6 I will sing to YHWH, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of YHWH Most High.
