Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
Nkunga Davidi. A Yave, ngeyo nditela; yiza nsualu kuidi minu. Wa mbemboꞌama mu thangu ndilembo kutedi.
2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Bika lusambulu luama luba va ntualꞌaku banga ansa bika mvumbudulu yi mioko miama yiba banga dikaba di masika.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my tips.
Tula nsungi va munu ama, a Yave; keba bumboti muelo wu bididi biama.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to be occupied in deeds of wickedness with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Kadi yinika ntimꞌama ku mambimbi, mu baka kuku mu mavanga mambimbi va kimosi ayi bamvanganga mambimbi; kadi tala ti ndidia bidia biawu bidi lueki.
5 Let the righteous smite me, [it shall be] a kindness; and let him reprove me, [it shall be as] oil upon the head; let not my head refuse it: for even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.
Bika mutu wusonga kambeta, diodi didi dimboti; bika kathemina, diodi didi mafuta va ntuꞌama; ayi ntuꞌama wulendi manga mawu ko. Muaki lusambulu luama luela nuanisanga mu zithangu zioso mavanga ma batu bamvanganga mambimbi.
6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; and they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Minyadi miawu miela lozo ku tsi tona ku yilu ngumbu ayi batu bambimbi bela longuka ti mambu mama ndituba, matubu bumboti.
7 As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth. (Sheol h7585)
Bela tuba: “mutu bu keti kabila ntoto ayi vasila ntoto buawu bobo mimvesi mieto mididi misasakana va muelo tsi bafua”. (Sheol h7585)
8 For mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee do I put my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
Vayi meso mama madi kaka kuidi ngeyo Yave, mutu wumvanganga makazodidi Kuidi ngeyo ndintombila suamunu, kadi kundiekula mu lufua.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the gins of the workers of iniquity.
Wukheba mu makondi bathambila ayi mu mintambu mitula batu bamvanganga mambimbi.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
Bika batu bambimbi, babua mu makondi mawu veka vayi minu ndiviokila vawu mu luvovomo.
