Psalms 26
1 Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].
Nkunga Davidi. Wundungisa, a Yave, bila ndidiatila mu luzingu lukambulu tsembolo. Nditula diana diama mu Yave mu kambu memata.
2 Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].
A Yave wumfiongunina, wumbeki, fiongunina mayindu ma ntimꞌama ayi ntimꞌama.
3 I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.
Bila luzolo luaku luidi mu zithangu zioso ku ntualꞌama ayi ndindiatanga mu zithangu zioso mu kiedika kiaku.
4 I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.
Ndivuandanga ko va kimosi ayi batu ba luvunu. Ndifubakananga ko va kimosi ayi bankua mayuya.
5 I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.
Ndieti kakumukina lukutukunu lu batu bamvanganga mambimbi. Ndivuandanga ko va kimosi ayi batu bambimbi.
6 Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,
Tsukudi mioko miama mu monisa ti ndisi zaba diambu ko, ayi ndiela zungidila ntalꞌaku, a Yave!
7 we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].
Mu yamikina minzitusu miaku mu mbembo yingolo ayi mu diambu di yolukila mangitukulu maku moso.
8 Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.
Ndinzolanga nzo yoyi weti zingila; a Yave buangu kimvuandanga nkemboꞌaku.
9 Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,
Kadi botula muelꞌama va kimosi ayi bankua masumu ayi luzingu luama va kimosi ayi bantengulanga menga ma batu,
10 and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.
mu bobo badi mioko miyuku kubika zikhanu zimbimbi, bobo mioko mi lubakala miwedi makaba ma kinsueki.
11 But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.
Vayi minu, ndieti diatila mu luzingu lukambu tsembolo; bika wukhula ayi wumbona kiadi.
12 I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
Malu mama madi va ntoto wuyalumuka mu lukhutukunu lunneni, ndiela zitisa Yave.
