Psalms 34
1 [A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Nkunga Davidi mu thangu kavuna lawuka va meso ma Abimeleki bu kankuka ayi Davidi wuyenda. Ndiela yayisa Yave mu zithangu zioso; Nzitusu andi wela ba mu bididi biama mu kadika thangu.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.
Muelꞌama wela kiniemisa mu Yave. Bika badi mu phasi bawa ayi bamona khini.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Kembisanu Yave va kimosi ayi minu, bika tuyayisanu dizina diandi va kimosi,
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Nditomba Yave, niandi wuphana mvutu ayi niandi wukhula mu zitsisi ziama zioso.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces shall never be confounded.
Batu bobo batala kuidi niandi bakienzulu ayi bizizi biawu bilendi mona tsoni nkutu ko.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
Nsukami wawu wutela; ayi Yave wunwa ayi wuphukisa mu ziphasi ziandi zioso.
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Mbasi Yave yinzungidilanga bobo bankinzikanga Yave ayi wukubakulanga.
8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Lubimba ayi lutala ti Yave widi wumboti; Lusakumunu luidi kuidi mutu wowo wuntombanga suamunu mu niandi.
9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
Lukinzika Yave beno banlongo bandi. Bila bobo beti kunkinzika, balendi kambu kima ko.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
Zikhosi zimvonganga ayi zimfuanga nzala vayi bobo bantombanga Yave balendi kambu kima ko.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Yizanu bana bama, lungua. Ndiela ku lulonga buevi bu kinzikilanga Yave.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth [many] days, that he may see good?
Nani mutu mu beno wunzolanga luzingu, ayi tidi mona bilumbu biwombo bi mboti
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Vengumuna ludimi luaku mu mambu mambimbi, ayi bididi biaku mu tuba mambu ma luvunu.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Botuka mu mambimbi vayi vanga mamboti. Tomba ndembama ayi landakana yawu.
15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and his ears are [open] unto their cry.
Meso ma Yave mantalanga basonga ayi makutu mandi madi mazibuka bu beti yamikina.
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
Yave wunsuekanga zizi kiandi kuidi batu bamvanganga mambimbi mu diambu babika buela tebukulu moyo va ntoto.
17 [The righteous] cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
Batu basonga banyamikinanga ayi Yave weti kuba wanga ayi wukubakulanga mu ziphasi ziawu zioso.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Yave widi wufikama vadi batu bobo badi mintima mi kofakana. Ayi wumvukisanga bobo badi pheve yidi mu kiadi kingolo.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Mutu wusonga wumbuilungu ziphasi ziwombo vayi Yave wunkukulanga mu zizioso.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Niandi wunkebanga mimvesi miandi mioso kadi wumosi wulendi keluka ko.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.
Mambu mambimbi mela vonda mutu wumbimbi; bobo beti lenda nkua busonga bela bedoso.
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be condemned.
Yave wunkulanga bisadi biandi, ayi kadi wumosi mu babo bobo bansuaminanga mu niandi kalendi bedoso ko.
