Psalms 22
1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi, wuyimbidila wawu mu nningu wu beti tedilanga “Nsuma wu nsuka”. Nzambi ama, Nzambi ama, bila mbi wundiekuididi e? Ayi bila mbi wididi thama mu kambu ku phukisa e? Ayi bila mbi wididi thama mu kambu wa maniongo mama e?
2 My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
Nzambi ama, ndinyamikina va muini, vayi wukadi vutula mvutu. Va builu, ndivuandanga ko dio sui.
3 But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
Vayi ngeyo wubieko banga wunlongo. Ngeyo nzitusu wu Iseli.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
Mu ngeyo bakulu beto batula diana diawu. Batula diana diawu mu ngeyo ayi wuba kula.
5 When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
Kuidi ngeyo bayamikina ayi ngeyo wuba vukisa. Mu ngeyo batula diana diawu ayi basia fuisu tsoni ko.
6 But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
Vayi minu, ndidi kiela vayi bika mutu. Babakala balembo mvuezi, batu balembo ndenzi.
7 Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
Babo bobo beti kumbona beti ku tsekinina. Beti finga. Beti nikuna mintu:
8 “He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
“Kuidi Yave keti tula diana diandi buna bika kamvukisa, bika kankula bila khini keti mona mu niandi.”
9 [Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
Vayi, ngeyo wuthotula mu vumu; wuvanga ti nditula diana diama mu ngeyo banga va thulu yi ngudi ama.
10 [It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
Tona ndibutuka ndiyekulu kuidi ngeyo tona mu vumu ki ngudi ama. Tona mu vumu ki ngudi ama, ngeyo wuba Nzambi ama.
11 So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
Kadi kuthatukila bila ziphasi zifikimini, bila kuisi ko mutu wulenda sadisa.
12 [My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
Zingombi ziwombo zimbakala zinzungididi, zingombi zi Basani zinzungididi.
13 [They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
Mu kunga ku khosi yeti kanzuna bulu miunu miawu midi mizibuka ngolo mu diambu diama
14 I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
Mbeni dukuka banga nlangu ayi mimvesi miama mioso mivasukidi. Ntimꞌama widi banga mafuta beti vindanga mu mabaya. Wulembo siuti mu khati yi nitu ama.
15 My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
Zingolo ziama zilembo yumi banga tini ki nzungu tuma ayi ludimi luama lunemi mu munu ama. Ngeyo wuthula mu mbungi-mbungi yi lufua.
16 My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
Zimbwa zinzungididi, Nkangu wu batu bambimbi banzungididi. Batobudi mioko miama ayi malu mama.
17 [I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
Ndilenda tanga mimvesi miama mioso. Batu beti kutsungimina ayi balembo thadi.
18 They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
Balembo kabana bawu na bawu minlele miama ayi balembo budila yunga kiama tsombo.
19 O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
Vayi ngeyo Yave, kadi ba thama. Ngeyo zingolo ziama ayi yiza nsualu mu kutsadisa.
20 Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
Kula luzingu luama mu sabala; luzingu luama lu thalu mu luyalu lu zimbua.
21 Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
Wukhudi mu munu wu khosi wuphukisa mu ziphoka zi ziphaka.
22 [But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
Ndiela yolukila dizina diaku kuidi bakhomba baama; ndiela ku zitisa va khatitsika lukutukunu.
23 You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
Beno lunkinzikanga Yave, bika lunzitisa! Beno babo luidi mu nkuna Yakobi, bika lunkinzika! Beno babo luidi mu nkuna wu Iseli, bika lunzitisa.
24 He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
Bila kasia lenza ko ayi kasia kakumukina ko ziphasi zi mutu widi mu phasi; kasia kunsuekila zizi kiandi ko vayi weti wa yamikina kuandi bu keti tomba lusadusu.
25 Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
Kuidi ngeyo kueti totukila minzitusu miama mu lukutukunu lunneni va ntuala bobo beti ku kinzika, ndiela dukisa zitsila ziama.
26 The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
Minsukami miela dia ayi miela yukuta. Bobo beti tomba Yave bela kumvana nzitusu. Bika mintima mieno mizinga mu zithangu zioso!
27 I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
Zitsuka zioso zi ntoto ziela tebuka moyo; Ziela baluka kuidi Yave. Batu ba makanda moso bela buongama va ntualꞌaku.
28 Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
Bila Kipfumu kidi kuidi Yave; niandi wunyadilanga makanda.
29 I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
Batu boso badi kimvuama ba ntoto bela dia ayi mamvawu bela buongama. Babo bankulukanga mu mbungi-mbungi bela komvama va ntualꞌandi; bobo bankambu baka bu zingisila luzingu luandi bawu veka.
30 People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
Nkuna wela ku nsadila. Batu bela samuna mambu matedi Yave kuidi tsungi yinkuiza.
31 People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
Bela yolukila busonga buandi kuidi batu bobo babutukidi ko. Bila niandi wuvanga mambu mama.
