< Psalms 64 >

1 God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Wungwa, a Nzambi, bu ndilembo wakikisa maniongo mama keba luzingu luama va ntuala mbeni yoyi ndieti mona tsisi!
2 Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
Wutsueka mu zikhanu zintotukilanga mu lukutukunu lu nsueki lu batu bambimbi ayi mu lukutukunu lu nkangu wu batu bamvanganga mambimbi; bobo badi bulawu.
3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
Balembo bengula ludimi luawu banga sabala; bantotulanga mambu mawu banga madionga meti vonda.
4 Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].
Beti lozila bu badi mu bibuangu bisuama mutu kambulu zaba diambu Beti kunlozila mu kinzimbukila, mu kambu mona tsisi.
5 They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,
Beti kukikindisa mu zikhanu zimbimbi; beti tubana mu diambu di batamba mintambu miawu, Beti kamba: “A nani wela mimona e?”
6 because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!
Beti yindula mambu makambulu masonga ayi beti tuba: “Tukubikidi lukanu lu fuana.” Bukiedika, mayindu ma tsi ntima ayi ntima wu mutu thipula bidi.
7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
Vayi Nzambi wela kuba lozila madionga mandi mu kinzimbukila bela.
8 Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].
Wela balula ludimi luawu veka mu diambu diawu ayi kuba nata ku mbivusu babo bela kuba mona bela nikuna ntu.
9 And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.
Batu boso bela mona tsisi, bela yamikisa mavanga ma Nzambi; ayi bela sudika momo kavanga.
10 Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
Bika mutu wusonga kamona khini mu Yave ayi katombila suamunu mu niandi ayi babo badi mintima mi lulama banzitisa.
