Psalms 106
1 Praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; he faithfully loves [us] forever/continually!
Luzitisa Yave, luvutudila Yave matondo bila widi wumboti, luzolo luandi lunzingila mu zithangu zioso.
2 [Because Yahweh has done many great things], no one can [RHQ] tell all the great things that Yahweh has done, and no one can praise him enough/sufficiently.
Nani wulenda yamikisa mavanga ma lulendo ma Yave? Voti samuna nzitusu andi woso e?
3 (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who act fairly/justly, with those who always do what is right.
Lusakumunu kuidi bobo basimbididi busonga; bobo beti vanga mambu ma lulama mu zithangu zioso.
4 Yahweh, be kind to me when you help your people; help me when you rescue/save them.
Wuthebukila moyo, a Yave, mu thangu wumvangila batu baku mamboti wiza wutsadisa mu thangu wela kubavukisa,
5 Allow me to see it when your people become prosperous again and when [all the people of] your nation, [Israel], are happy; allow me to be happy with them! I want to praise you along with [all] those [others] who belong to you.
muingi ndibaka bu muena khini mu mamboti ma batu baku bobo wusobula; muingi ndibaka bukabudila khini ayi batu baku; ayi muingi ndifubakana va kimosi ayi kiuka kiaku mu kuvananga nzitusu.
6 We and our ancestors have sinned; we have done things that were very wicked [DOU].
Tuvola masumu banga buvodila madise meto; beto tuvanga mambimbi ayi mavanga mambimbi.
7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not pay attention to the wonderful things that Yahweh did; they forgot about the many times that he showed that he faithfully loved them. Instead, when they were at the Red Sea, they rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god.
Thangu madise meto baba ku Ezipite, basia ba ko kadi mayindu mu bikumu biaku; basia tebukila ko moyo woka ku mamboti maku vayi baba bankua matingu va ndambu mbu, va ndambu mbu wu mbuaki.
8 But he rescued them for the sake of his own [reputation] in order that he could show that he is very powerful.
Vayi wuba vukisa mu diambu di nkembo wu dizina diandi mu monisa lulendo luandi.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea and it became dry, and [then] while he led our ancestors across it, they walked through it as though it were as dry as a desert [SIM].
Wutemina mbu wu mbuaki, buna wawu wuyuma; wuba diatisa mu dibulu dinneni banga mu dikanga.
10 In that way he rescued them from the power [MTY] of their enemies who hated them [DOU].
Wuba vukisa mu koko ku mutu wowo wu balenda; wuba kula mu koko ku bambeni.
11 [Then] their enemies were drowned in the water [of the Red Sea]; not one of them was left.
Minlangu midiamisa bambeni ziawu; kadi wumosi kasia siala wumoyo ko.
12 When that happened, our ancestors believed [that Yahweh had truly done for them] what he had promised to do, and they sang to praise him.
Buna bawilukila zitsila ziandi ayi bayimbila minzitusu miandi.
13 But they soon forgot what he had done for them; they [did things] without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.
Vayi mu nsualu bavika zimbakana momo kavanga, ayi basia tadidila zindongi ziandi ko.
14 They intensely wanted [food like they formerly ate in Egypt]. They [did evil things to] find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them].
Mu dikanga, bakiyekula mu zinzinunu ziawu; va buangu kikambulu batu, batota Nzambi.
15 [So] he gave them what they requested, but he [also] caused a terrible disease to afflict them.
Buna wuba vana biobi balomba; ayi wubafidisila ziphasi.
16 [Later] when [some of] the men became jealous of Moses and [his older brother] Aaron, who was dedicated [to serve Yahweh by being a priest],
Bavangila Moyize kiphala ayi Aloni ku ka, mutu wowo Yave kabieka nlongo.
17 the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and [also] buried Abiram and his family.
Ntoto wuzibuka ayi wumina Datani; ayi wufuka dikabu di batu ba Abilami
18 And [God sent] a fire down [from heaven] which burned up [all] the wicked [people who (supported them/agreed with) them].
Mbazu yilema va khatitsika batu baba kubakuka, nlaki wu mbazu wuzinisa batu bambimbi.
19 Then the [Israeli leaders] made a gold statue at Sinai [Mountain] and worshiped it.
Ku Holebi, bavanga muana ngombi; ayi babuongimina tumba kivangulu mu suitisa sengo.
20 Instead of worshiping [our] glorious God, they [started to] worship a statue of a bull that eats grass!
Baviakisa nkembo awu mu mfikula yi ngombi yeti dia biti
21 They forgot about God, who had rescued them by the great miracles that he performed in Egypt.
Bazimbakana Nzambi, mutu wubavukisa, mutu wuvanga mambu manneni mu Ezipite,
22 They forgot about the wonderful things that he did for them in Egypt and the amazing/awesome things that he did for them at the Red Sea.
bikumu mu tsi Hami ayi mambu ma tsisi va ndambu mbu wu mbuaki.
23 Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelis, but Moses, whom God had chosen [to serve him], pleaded with God [not to get rid of them]. And as a result God did not destroy them.
Buna wutuba ti wukana ku babunga; enati kambu Moyize, mutu andi wukasobula, wutelama mu diambu di kuba sambildila va ntualꞌandi mu diambu di kakidila miangu miandi mi ngolo muingi kabika ku babunga.
24 [Later], our ancestors (refused/were afraid) to enter beautiful [Canaan] land because they did not believe [that God would enable them to take the land from the people who were living there, as] he had promised.
Buna balenza tsi yi makhini, basia wilukila ko tsilꞌandi.
25 They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not pay attention to what Yahweh said that they should do.
Baniunguta mu zinzo ziawu zi ngoto; ayi basia tumukina ko Yave.
26 So he solemnly [MTY] told them that he would cause them to die [there] in the desert,
Buna wuvumuna koko kuandi mu leva ndefi mu diambu diawu ti wela kuba buisa mu dikanga;
27 and that he would scatter their descendants among the [people of other] nations/people-groups [who did not believe in him], and that he would allow them to die in those lands.
ti wela buisa nkunꞌawu va khatitsika makanda; ayi wela kuba sasikisa mu yenda ntoto.
28 Later the Israeli people [started to] worship [the idol of] Baal [who they thought lived] at Peor [Mountain], and they ate [meat that had been] sacrificed to [Baal and those other] lifeless gods.
Bakiyekula bawu veka kuidi Bali-Pewoli ayi badia makaba matambuku kuidi zinzambi zikambulu moyo.
29 Yahweh became [very] angry because of what they had done, [so again] he sent a terrible disease to attack/strike them.
Basoka Yave muingi kafuema mu diambu di mavanga mawu mambimbi, ayi nsongo wutotuka va khatitsikꞌawu.
30 But Phinehas stood up and punished/killed [the ones who had sinned greatly], and as a result the (plague/serious disease) ended.
Buna Pineyasi wutelama ayi wuvuata nsamu; buna nsongo wutumbu manisa.
31 People have remembered that righteous thing that Phinehas did, and in future years people will remember it.
Buna bantangila diawu banga busonga mu zitsungi zinkuiza zikambulu tsukulu.
32 [Then] at Meribah Springs our ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry, and as a result Moses had trouble.
Ku minlangu mi Meliba, bafuemisa Yave; buna ziphasi zibuila Moyize mu diambu diawu.
33 They caused Moses to become very angry [IDM], and he said things that were foolish.
Bila batinguna Pheve yi Nzambi ayi mambu makambulu fuana matotukila mu bididi bi Moyize.
34 Our ancestors did not destroy the people [who did not believe in Yahweh] like he told them to do.
Basi bunga ko batu boso bubela lutumunu lu Yave.
35 Instead, they mingled with people from those people-groups, and they started to do the evil things that those people did.
Vayi bafubakana ayi makanda mankaka ayi balonguka kikhulu ki makanda beni.
36 Our ancestors worshiped the idols of those people, which resulted in their being destroyed/exiled/taken to another country [MET].
Babuongimina bitumba biawu, biawu bikituka ntambu kuidi bawu.
37 [Some of] the Israelis sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons [that those idols represented].
Batambika bana bawu bababakala ayi babaketo kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi.
38 They killed [MTY] their own children, who (were innocent/had not done things that were wrong), and offered them as sacrifices to the idols in Canaan. [As a result], Canaan land was polluted by those murders [MTY].
Batengula menga ma batu bakambulu zaba diambu; menga ma bana bawu bababakala ayi babaketo mawu batambika kuidi bitumba bi Kana. Buna ntoto wusumuka mu diambu di menga mawu.
39 So by their deeds they caused themselves to become unacceptable to God; [because they did not faithfully worship only God], [they became like] women who sleep with other men [instead of sleeping only with their husbands] [MET].
Bakisumuna bawu veka mu momo bavanga, mu mavanga mawu, ba ta kitsuza bawu veka.
40 So Yahweh became very angry with his people; he was completely disgusted with them.
Muaki Yave wufuemina batu bandi ayi wukakumukina kiuka kiandi.
41 [As a result] he allowed people-groups [who did not believe in him] to conquer them, so those who hated our ancestors started to rule over them.
Wuba yekula kuidi makanda ayi bobo baba lenda babayadila.
42 Their enemies (oppressed them/treated them cruelly) and completely controlled them [MET].
Bambeni bawu ziba yamisa ayi batulu ku tsi lulendo luawu.
43 Many times Yahweh rescued them, but they continued to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed because of the sins that they committed.
Zikhumbu ziwombo kaba kudila vayi baba kaka bankua matingu ayi bakibivisa mu masumu mawu.
44 However, Yahweh [always] heard them when they cried out to him; he listened to them when they were distressed.
Vayi wubela ziphasi ziawu mayindu thangu kawa yamikina kuawu.
45 For their sake, he thought about the agreement/promise that he had made [to bless] them, and because he never stopped loving them very much, he changed his mind [about punishing them more].
Mu bila kiawu, wutebukila nguizani andi moyo; ayi mu luzolo luandi lunneni wubalula lukanu.
46 He caused all those who had taken the Israelis [to Babylonia] to (feel sorry for/pity) them.
Niandi wuvanga ti bamueno kiadi kuidi bobo baba nata mu kivika.
47 Yahweh our God, rescue/save us and bring us back [to Israel] from among those people-groups in order that we may thank you [MTY] and joyfully praise you.
Wutuvukisa, a Yave, Nzambi eto; ayi wutukutikisa tona ku makanda muingi tubaka buvutudila dizina diaku dinlongo matondo ayi nkembo mu nzitusu aku.
48 Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], praise him now and forever! And I want everyone to say, “Amen/May it be so!” Praise Yahweh!
Yave kazitusu, Nzambi yi Iseli! Mu zithangu zioso ayi mu mvu ka mvu. Bika batu boso batuba: “Amen.” Luzitisa Yave.
