Psalms 31
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to be protected; do not allow me to be [defeated, with the result that I am] disgraced. Since you always do what is fair/right, rescue me!
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Kuidi ngeyo, Yave ndintombila suamunu; kadi khumbu yimosi ndifua tsoni; wukhula mu busonga buaku.
2 Listen to me, and save me right now! Be [like] a huge rock [under which I can hide] [MET] and [like] a strong fort in which I will be safe.
Yinika dikutu diaku kuidi minu, Yiza nsualu, mu kukhula! Kuidi minu, bika wuba ditadi diama dingolo disuamina, suamunu kingolo, mu diambu di kuphukisa.
3 Yes, you are [like] my huge rock and my fort; guide me and lead me [DOU] in order that I can honor you [MTY].
Sumbu didi ti ngeyo ditadi diama dingolo ayi suamunu kiama kingolo. Mu diambu di dizina diaku bika wuthuadisa ayi wundiatisa.
4 You are the one who protects me, so keep me from falling into the hidden traps [that my enemies have set for me].
Bika wuthotula mu ntambu wu bathambila, bila ngeyo suamunu kiama.
5 Yahweh, you are a God who can be trusted, so I put myself into your care because you rescued me.
Mu mioko miaku ndintambika pheve ama; Wukhula, a Yave, ngeyo Nzambi yi kiedika.
6 Yahweh, I hate those who worship useless idols, but I trust in you.
Ndieti lenda bobo bansingiminanga mu bitumba biphamba. Vayi minu diana diama didi mu Yave.
7 I will be very glad [DOU] because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.
Ndiela mona khini ayi ndiela yangalala mu diambu di luzolo luaku; bila wumona ziphasi ziama; wuzaba kiadi ki muelꞌama.
8 You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.
Ayi wusia ku ndiekula ko mu mioko mi mbeni. Vayi ngeyo malu mama va buangu ki yalumuka.
9 [But now], Yahweh, be kind to me [again] because I am distressed. Because I cry [so much], I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.
Bika wumbona kiadi, a Yave, bila mu ziphasi ndidi. Meso mama; mabividi mu diambu di maniongo muelꞌama ayi nitu ama bibividi mu diambu di phasi
10 I have become very weak because I am [so] miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.
Luzingu luama lulembo suki mu kiadi ayi mimvu miama milembo suki mu diambu di kunga. Zingolo ziama zilembo suki mu diambu di ziphasi ziama, ayi mimvesi miama milembo lebakana ngolo.
11 All of my enemies make fun of me, and [even] my neighbors despise me. [Even] my friends are afraid of me [because they think I am being punished by God], and when they see me on the streets, they run away.
Mu diambu di bambeni ziama zioso, ndiyikidi bila ki nlenzo kuidi bobo bafikimini yami ayi bila ki tsisi yiwombo mu diambu di batu bobo bazabini yama. Bobo bakumbona mu nzila balembo tini va ndidi.
12 People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. [They think I am as useless] as a broken pot.
Banzimbikini banga ti ndifua Ndidi banga nzungu tuma yibudika.
13 I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.
Bila ndilembo wi balembo thubidila buwombo ku ndambu ayi tsisi yingolo mu zindambu zioso balembo kutakananga va kimosi mu diambu banduanisa; balembo yendila luzingu luama manenga.
14 But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.
Vayi minu, mu ngeyo ndintula diana diama, a Yave, Ndieti tuba: “Ngeyo Nzambi ama.”
15 My whole life [MTY] is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.
Bilumbu biama bioso bidi mu mioko miaku; wukhula mu mioko mi bambeni ziama ayi mu mioko mi bobo balembo ndandakana.
16 Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.
Bika zizi kiaku kikienzukila kisadi kiaku; wuphukisa mu diambu di luzolo luaku lungolo.
17 Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to [soon die and] go down to the place where the dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Kadi tala ti ndifua tsoni, a Yave, bila kuidi ngeyo ndiyamikina. Vayi bika batu bambimbi bafua tsoni! Bika baba dio sui ku tsi bafua! (Sheol h7585)
18 I desire that you will cause people [MTY] who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
Bika bididi bintotulanga luvunu biba dio sui; mu luniemo ayi mu mvuezolo beti yolukila mu luyanu kuidi mutu wusonga.
19 You have stored up many blessings for those who revere you. You do those good things for those who go to you to be protected; everyone sees you doing that.
A phila, mamboti maku madidi manneni; momo wulundila bobo beti kukinzika; momo wuvangila bobo beti tomba suamunu kuidi ngeyo va ntuala batu.
20 You hide people in your presence where it is safe, and protect them from people who plot [to kill them]. You hide them in safe places from their enemies [MTY] who accuse/insult them.
Va ntuala meso maku, ngeyo weti kuba suekanga mu diambu di mambimbi mayindulanga batu ku buangu kioki wumvuandanga, ngeyo weti kuba keba mu luvovomo mu ludimi lueti funda.
21 Praise Yahweh! When my enemies surrounded the city [in which I was living], he showed me in a wonderful way that he faithfully loves me.
Nzitusu wuba kuidi Yave Bila niandi wumbonisini luzolo luandi lungolo mu thangu ndiba mu divula dizungulu kuidi masodi.
22 I was afraid, and I cried out, “I have been separated from Yahweh!” but you heard me and answered my cry for help.
Mu boma buama minu ndituba: “Minu ndivengumunu thama va ntualꞌaku.” Muaki ngeyo wuwa yamikina kuama mu diambu di kiadi mu thangu nditela mu diambu di lusadusu.
23 You people who belong to Yahweh, love him! Those who are loyal to him, he protects, but those who are very proud, he punishes them severely like they deserve to be punished.
Bika luzola Yave beno banlongo bandi boso. Yave wunkebanga minkhuikizi Vayi wumvutudilanga mu bufuana bobo badi luniemo.
24 You who confidently expect Yahweh [to do great things for you], be strong, be courageous!
Lukikindisa ayi bika luba bukhafi mu mintima mieno; beno boso bobo luntulanga diana dieno mu Yave.
