Psalms 147
1 Praise Yahweh! It is good to sing to praise our God. It is a delightful thing to do and the right thing to do.
Luzitisa Yave! A phila mboti yidi mu yimbila minzitusu kuidi Nzambi eto. A phila khini ayi fuana kuidi mu kunzitisa.
2 [Jerusalem was destroyed, but] Yahweh is [enabling us to] build Jerusalem again. He is bringing back the people who were taken [to Babylonia].
Yave weti tunga Yelusalemi, weti kutikisa bana ba Iseli bayenda mu kivika.
3 He enables those who were very discouraged to be encouraged again; [it is as though] they have wounds and he bandages them.
Niandi weti belusa mintima mi kosakana ayi wunkanganga ziphasima mu ziphuta ziawu.
4 He has determined how many stars there will be, and he gives names to all of them.
Niandi weti zenga thalu yi zimbuetete ayi weti kuzitedila kadika mbuetete mu dizina diandi.
5 Yahweh is great and very powerful, and no one can measure how much he understands.
Pfumu eto widi wunneni ayi lulendo luandi luidi lunneni; diela diandi disi kadi ndilu ko.
6 Yahweh lifts up those who have been oppressed, and he throws the wicked down to the ground.
Yave weti kindisa woso mutu weti kukikululanga ayi weti lumba batu bambimbi va tsi.
7 Thank Yahweh while you are singing to him to praise him; on the harps, play music to our God.
Luyimbidila Yave mu kumvutudilanga matondo; Lusikila Nzambi eto miziki mu ngitala.
8 He covers the sky with clouds, [and then] he sends rain to the earth and causes grass to grow on the hills.
Niandi wufukidilanga diyilu mu matuti; wunkubikanga mvula mu diambu di ntoto ayi niandi wummenisanga biti va mbata miongo mi fioti.
9 He gives to animals the food that they [need], and gives food to young crows/birds when they cry out [because they are hungry].
Niandi wumvananga bidia kuidi bibulu bi fioti ayi kuidi bana ba ngonyi-ngonyi bu beti tela.
10 He is not pleased with strong horses or with men who can run [MTY] fast.
Khini andi yisi ko mu zingolo zi phunda ayi yangalala kuandi kuisi ko mu malu ma mutu.
11 Instead, what pleases him are those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to continue to faithfully love them.
Yave weti yangalala mu batu bobo beti kunkinzika, bobo bantulanga diana diawu mu luzolo luandi lungolo.
12 [You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, praise Yahweh! Praise your God!
Yayisa Yave, a Yelusalemi; zitisa Nzambi aku, a Sioni;
13 He [guards your city] by keeping its gates strong. He blesses the people who live there.
bila niandi wunkindisanga zitunga zi mielo miaku; ayi weti sakumuna batu baku badi mu ngeyo.
14 He protects the borders [of your country, so that enemies from other countries cannot attack you]. He gives you plenty of very good wheat/grain to eat.
Niandi wuntulanga ndembama mu zindilu ziaku ayi wukuyukutisanga mu ble yilutidi kitoko.
15 He commands what he wants to be done on the earth, and his words quickly come to the place to which he sends them.
Niandi wumfidisanga zithumunu ziandi ku ntoto; mambu mandi meti tembakana mu thinu nsualu.
16 He sends snow which [covers the ground] like a white wool blanket [SIM], and he scatters frost [on the ground] like [wind scatters] ashes [SIM].
Niandi wumvananga mvula yi matadi banga mika mi dimemi; ayi wuntembikisanga disala banga dibombi.
17 He sends hail down like (pebbles/tiny stones); [when that happens], (it is very difficult to endure because the air becomes very cold./who can endure because the air becomes very cold?) [RHQ]
Niandi wunlonzanga mvulꞌandi yi matadi banga matadi ma fioti Nani wulenda telama va ntuala phemo andi yi kiozi e?
18 [But] he commands the wind to blow, and it blows. [Then the hail] melts and [the water] flows [into the streams].
Weti fidisa mambu mandi ayi weti kumasiutisa; weti vemuna phemo yi ngolo andi ayi minlangu mieti kumba.
19 He sent his message to [the descendants of] Jacob; [he tells to his] Israeli people the laws and regulations that he had decreed.
Niandi wuzabikisa mambu mandi kuidi Yakobi; mina miandi ayi zinzengolo ziandi kuidi Iseli.
20 He has not done that for any other nation; the other nations do not know his laws. Praise Yahweh!
Kasia bu vangila kadi kuidi dikanda dinkaka ko basia zaba ko mina miandi. Luzitisa Yave.
