Psalms 103
1 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. I will praise him [MTY] with all of my inner being, [because] he [MTY] is holy.
Nkunga Davidi. Zitisa Yave, a muelꞌama; bibioso bidi mu minu bizitisa dizina diandi dinlongo.
2 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh and never forget all the kind things he has done for me:
Zitisa Yave, a muelꞌama, ayi kadi zimbakana mamboti mandi moso kavanga.
3 He forgives all my sins, and he heals me from all my diseases/sicknesses;
Niandi weti lemvukila masumu maku moso ayi weti belusa minsongo miaku bioso.
4 he keeps me from dying [MTY], and blesses me by faithfully loving me and acting mercifully to me.
Niandi weti kula luzingu luaku mu dibulu; ayi niandi weti kuvuika luzolo ayi kiadi.
5 He gives me good things during my entire life. He makes me feel young and strong like eagles.
Niandi weti yukutisa zitsatu ziaku mu bima bimboti muingi bumuana buaku bukituka diaka bumona banga buididi bu mbemba.
6 Yahweh judges justly and (vindicates/does what is right for) all those who have been treated unfairly.
Yave wumvanganga busonga ayi bufuana mu diambu di batu boso beti yamusu.
7 [Long ago] he revealed to Moses what he planned to do; he showed to the [ancestors of us] Israeli people the mighty things that he was able to do.
Wuzabikisa zinzila ziandi kuidi Moyize mavanga mandi kuidi batu ba Iseli.
8 Yahweh acts mercifully and kindly; he does not quickly (get angry/punish us) [when we sin]; he is always [showing us that he] faithfully loves us.
Yave widi nkua kiadi ayi nkua nlemvo; kavika fuemanga ko, fulukidi mu luzolo.
9 He will not keep rebuking us, and he will not remain angry forever.
Niandi kafundanga ko mu zithangu zioso ayi kalundanga ko nganzi andi mu zithangu zioso.
10 He punishes us for our sins, but he does not punish us [severely] as we deserve [DOU]!
Katu vangilanga ko boso buididi masumu meto, katuvananga ko thumbudulu boso buididi mambimbi meto.
11 The skies are very high above the earth, and Yahweh’s faithful love for all those who revere him is just as great.
Bila boso diyilu didi dizangama va yilu ntoto; buawu bobo luzolo luandi luidi lunneni kuidi bobo beti kunkinzikanga.
12 He has taken away [the guilt for] [MTY] our sins, taking it as far from us as the east is from the west.
Boso esite katatukididi ayi wesite, buawu bobo katutatudila zinzimbala zieto.
13 Just like parents act mercifully toward their children, Yahweh is kind to those who revere him.
Banga dise bu kamoninga bana bandi kiadi, buawu bobo Yave kamoninga kiadi bobo beti kunkinzika.
14 He knows what our bodies are like; he remembers that [he created us from] dirt, and so we quickly fail [to do what pleases him] [MET].
Bila zebi buevi tuvangulu weti tebuka moyo ti tuidi mbungi-mbungi.
15 We humans do not live forever [SIM]; we are like grass [SIM] [that withers and dies]. We are like wild flowers: They bloom [for a short while],
Bila kuidi mutu, bilumbu biandi bidi banga biti; weti mona mamboti banga biteka bi tsola.
16 but then the [hot] wind blows over them, and they disappear; no one sees them again.
Phemo yawu viokila va bidi, buna bisiedi ko ayi buangu kibibedi kikadi buela kubitebukila moyo.
17 But Yahweh will faithfully keep loving forever all those who revere him. He will act fairly to our children and to their children;
Vayi mu kadika thangu ayi mu zithangu zioso luzolo lu Yave luidi kuidi bobo beti kunkinzika ayi busonga buandi kuidi bana ba bana bawu;
18 he will act that way to all those who obey the agreement he made with them [to bless them if they did what he told them to do], to all those who obey what he has commanded.
kuidi bobo beti keba Nguizani andi ayi kuidi bobo bantebukilanga tumukina minsiku miandi.
19 Yahweh made/caused the heavens to be the place where he rules [MTY]; from there he rules over everything.
Yave wutula kundu kiandi ki kipfumu ku diyilu ayi kipfumu kiandi kinyadila bima bioso.
20 You angels who belong to Yahweh, praise him! You are powerful creatures/beings who do what he tells you to do; you obey what he commands.
Luzitisa Yave beno zimbasi ziandi; beno makesa lueti vanga zithumunu ziandi, lueti tumukina mambu mandi.
21 Praise Yahweh, you armies/thousands of angels who serve him and do what he desires!
Luzitisa Yave beno minkangu mi masodi mandi ma diyilu; beno bisadi biandi lueti vanganga luzolo luandi.
22 All you things that Yahweh has created, praise him; praise him in every place where he rules, everywhere! And I [also] will praise Yahweh!
Luzitisa Yave beno mavanga mandi moso, mu bibuangu bioso biobi keti yadila. Zitisa Yave, a muelꞌama.
