Psalms 81
1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Nkunga Asafi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu ngitala yi basi Ngati. Yimbidilanu Nzambi mu khini; niandi zingolo zieto! Yamikinanu kuidi Nzambi yi Yakobi!
2 Take up the psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Tonanu miziki, sikanu zindungu; Bulanu minningu mu Ngitala ayi lu Lila.
3 Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day.
Sikanu phoka yi dimemi va ntotukila ngondi yi mona; ayi Ngondi bu yidi yiduka ayi mu lumbu ki nyengo eto!
4 For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
Yayi yidi nzengolo mu diambu di Iseli, ayi tsikudukusu yi Nzambi yi Yakobi,
5 He appointed it in Joseph for testimony, when he went out over the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
Wukindisa yawu banga nsiku mu diambu di Zozefi mu thangu kanuanisa tsi yi Ezipite… Kuna tuwa mbembo yoyi tusia sudika ko.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were freed from the basket.
Tubidi: “Ndibotudi mfuna wubedi va mavangiti mawu. Ayi babotudi pani kibedi mu mioko miandi.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Mu ziphasi ziaku, ngeyo wutela ayi ndikula ndivana mvutu ku tsi dumu ki matuti nditota ku minlangu mi Meliba.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
Wanu beno batu bama, ayi ndiela kululubula: enati beno luzola ku ndimba, a Iseli.
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Kulendi ba kadi nzambi yi nzenza ko va khatitsikꞌaku. Kulendi buongimina nzambi yi nzenza ko!
10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Minu ndidi Yave, Nzambi, yoyi yilutotula mu tsi Ezipite; zibula bumboti munu aku ayi ndiela ku wuwesa.
11 But my people hearkened not to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
Vayi batu bama basia zola ku ndimba ko; Iseli kasia kuthumukina ko.
12 So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.
Buna ndiba yekula mu mintima miawu mingolo; mu landakana zikhanu ziawu veka.
13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
Enati batu bama bandima kuama, enati Iseli wuzola landakana zinzila ziama!
14 I should soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
Nganu mu nsualu ndieka tumbu kuba yekudila bambeni ziawu ayi balula koko kuama kuidi bobo beti kuba lenda.
15 The haters of the LORD should submit themselves unto him: but their time should endure for ever.
Bobo beti lenda Yave balenda kukikulula va ntualꞌandi ayi nganu thumbudulu awu yela zingilanga mu zithangu zioso;
16 He should feed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I satisfy thee.
Vayi nganu ngeyo wudikulu mu ble yilutidi kitoko, mu niosi yintotukila mu ditadi, ndiela kuyukutisila.”
