< Psalms 59 >

1 God, save me from my enemies! Protect me from those who want to attack me!
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi “Kadi vonda” mu thangu Sawuli kafidisa batu bazungidila nzo Davidi mu diambu bamvonda. Wukhula mu bambeni ziama, a Nzambi; wukhebi mu diambu bobo bamfuemini!
2 Rescue me from men who want to do what is wicked, men who are murderers!
Wukhudi mu mimvangi mi mambimbi ayi wuphukisa mu mintengudi mi menga.
3 Look! They are waiting to kill me! Fierce men have gathered to assault me. Yahweh, they are doing that even though I have not done what is wrong!
Tala phila balambididi mu kuphingila. Batu badi ngolo bandiendidi manenga bika sia ti mu diambu di nzimbala yama voti mu diambu di disumu diama, a Nzambi.
4 It is not because I have committed any sin [against them] that they run and get ready to attack me.
Kadi mbimbi ndisia vanga ko vayi bakubimini mu kunduanisa kotuka mu kutsadisa tala phila ndikila.
5 Yahweh my God, commander of the armies of heaven, the one we Israelis [worship], arise and punish the [ungodly/heathen people of] all the nations; do not be merciful to those [wicked people] who have (acted treacherously toward/secretly planned to harm) us.
A Yave, Nzambi nkua ngolo yoso, Nzambi yi Iseli, kotuka mu tumbudila makanda moso; kadi mona kadi kiadi kuidi bobo beti vanga mambimbi.
6 They return each evening, snarling like vicious dogs [SIM] as they prowl around this city.
Bamvutukanga va masika, beti lola banga zimbua; ayi beti zungidila divula.
7 They loudly say terrible things; they say [MTY] many things that [injure people like] [MET] swords do, but they think, “No one will [RHQ] hear us!”
Tala, momo balembo luki mu miunu miawu. Bisabala bidi mu bididi biawu. Ayi balembo tubi: “Nani wulenda kutu wa e?”
8 But Yahweh, you laugh at them. You (scoff at/ridicule) the [people of the pagan] nations.
Vayi ngeyo, a Yave, wulenda basevi; wulembo sekinina makanda moso momo.
9 God, I have confidence in you because you are very strong; you are my refuge.
E ngolo ziama, kuidi ngeyo ndintala, ngeyo, e Nzambi, widi tinunu kiama ki ngolo.
10 Because you love me, you will come to save me; you will allow me to watch while you defeat my enemies.
Nzambi ama, wukuphangilanga mamboti Nzambi ama yi luzolo wela kundengana; Nzambi wela diata va ntuala ama ayi wela kumbonisa khini vadi bobo bakuthubidilanga.
11 But do not kill them [immediately] in order that my people will not forget [how you punished them]! [Instead], Lord, [you who are like a] shield [that protects us] [MET], scatter them by your power, and [then] defeat them.
Vayi kadi kuba vonda, a Yave, nkaku eto, bila muna batu bama bela zimbakana. Mu lulendo luaku, baba mindiengidi ayi wuba buisi.
12 Because what they say [MTY] is sinful, allow them to be trapped for being proud. Because they are [always] cursing and telling lies,
Mu diambu di masumu ma muinu miawu, mu diambu di mambu ma bididi biawu, bika babuilama mu luniemo luawu. Mu diambu di zitsingulu ayi luvunu beti totula,
13 because you are angry, get rid of them; destroy them completely in order that people will know that you rule over us, your Israeli people, and that you rule over all the earth.
Wuba lalikisa mu nganzi aku yi kikhesa; wuba lalikisa muingi babika buela monika buna diela zabakana mu zitsuka zi ntoto ti Nzambi wunyadila Yakobi.
14 My enemies return each evening, snarling like [vicious] dogs as they prowl around this city.
Bamvutukanga va masika, beti lola banga zimbua, ayi beti zungidila divula.
15 They roam around, searching for food; and if they do not find enough, they growl.
Bandiengilanga mu diambu di bidia, ayi enati bakadi yukuta, buna banyamikinanga.
16 But [as for me], I will sing about your power; [every] morning I will sing joyfully about your faithfully loving [us]. I will sing about how you protected me when I was [very] distressed.
Vayi minu, ndiela yimbidila zingolo ziaku; muna nsuka, ndiela yimbidila luzolo luaku bila ngeyo tinunu kiama kingolo ayi suamunu mu zithangu zi ziphasi.
17 God, you are the one who enables me to be strong; you are my refuge; you faithfully love me.
A ngeyo zingolo ziama, ndinyimbila nzitusu mu diambu diaku; ngeyo Nzambi, ngeyo tinunu kiama kingolo; Nzambi ama yi luzolo.
