Psalms 36
1 [Wicked people continually desire to] sin. They consider [IDM] that they do not need to revere God.
Nkunga Davidi, kisadi ki Yave, kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Mambu ma Nzambi madi mu ntimꞌama Mu mambu matedi disumu di mutu wumbimbi: kuisi ko mambu ma kinzikila Nzambi va meso mandi.
2 Because they are very proud, they do not think that God will discover their sins and condemn them (OR, they do not think about their sins and hate themselves for it).
Bila va meso mandi veka, weti kukiniemisa buwombo mu bakula voti lenda masumu mandi.
3 [Everything] that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.
Mambu ma munuꞌandi madi mambimbi ayi ma luvunu. Wulembo kuandi buela ba nkua nduenga ayi bueba vanga mamboti.
4 While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm [others]; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse [to do what is] evil.
Bu kadi va mbukꞌandi, wunyindulanga mambu mambimbi. Weti kukiyekula niandi veka mu nzila yi masumu kalozanga ko mambu mambimbi.
5 Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens, you faithfully [do what you have promised]; [it is as though your doing that] extends up to the clouds.
Luzolo luaku, a Yave, lueti tula nate ku diyilu kikhuikizi kiaku nate mu matuti
6 Your righteous behavior is [as permanent as] the highest mountains [MET], your acting justly [will continue as long as] the deepest oceans [exist]. You take care of people and you take care of animals.
Busonga buaku buidi banga miongo minda; zinzengolo ziaku zidi banga dibulu dinneni. O Yave, ngeyo wunkebanga mutu ayi bulu.
7 God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].
Tala phila luzolo luaku lu ngolo lukambu thalu! Luidi luzangulu ayi lukululu va khatitsika batu bobo bansuaminanga ku tsi phozi yi mavevi maku.
8 You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply [IDM] that you have; your great blessings for us [flow] like a river.
Beti tula minyengo mu wombo di bima bi nzo aku ayi ngeyo wukubanuikinanga mu nlangu wu makhini maku.
9 You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to see.
Bila kuidi ngeyo kuidi tho yi luzingu. Mu kiezila kiaku, tulembo moni kiezila.
10 Continue to faithfully love those who have experienced a relationship with you, and bless those who act righteously/justly.
Landakana vanga luzolo luaku kuidi bawu bazebi ayi busonga buaku kuidi bawu badi mintima mi lulama.
11 Do not allow proud people [SYN] to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.
Bika kulu ku nkua luniemo kubika kumbakidila; voti bika koko ku mutu wumbimbi kubika kuthinisa thama.
12 Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
Tala phila yilembo buila bisadi bi mambu mambimbi; balumbulu va tsi ayi balendi buela telama ko.
