Psalms 68
1 God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Bika Nzambi katelama; bika bambeni bandi zisasukusu ayi bobo beti kunlenda bantina va ntualꞌandi.
2 Like [wind] blows smoke away, chase your enemies away. Like wax melts when it is near a fire, cause wicked people to (disappear/be destroyed).
Banga bueti lalikinina muisi mu phemo, bika wuba lalikisa; banga bueta siutila sile ku mbazu bika batu bambimbi babungana va meso ma Nzambi.
3 But righteous people should be joyful; they should rejoice when they are in God’s presence; they should be happy, and be very joyful.
Vayi bika batu basonga bamona khini; ayi bayangalala va ntuala Nzambi, bika bamona mayangi ayi khini yingolo.
4 Sing to God; sing to praise him; sing a song (OR, make a road) for him who rides on the clouds; his name is Yahweh; be glad when you are in his presence.
Yimbidilanu Nzambi; yimbidilanu minzitusu mu diambu di dizina diandi; yayisanu mutu wowo wundiatila va phunda mu matuti Dizina diandi Yave; ayi lumona khini va ntualꞌandi.
5 God, who lives in his sacred temple, is [like] [MET] a father to [those who are] orphans, and he is the one who protects widows.
Nzambi niandi widi dise di bisana ayi niandi weti nuanina mafuola. Mu buangu kiandi kinlongo kioki keti vuanda.
6 For those who have no one to live with, he provides families [to live with]. He frees prisoners and enables them to be successful, but those who rebel [against him] will be forced to live in a very hot and dry land.
Nzambi wumvananga dikanda kuidi bobo badi bawu veka; niandi weti tuadisa basi nloko mu ngimbudulu vayi bankua matingu bawu banzingilanga mu ntoto wu yuma.
7 God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
Mu thangu wutuaminina batu baku ku ntuala, a Nzambi, mu thangu mu dikanga,
8 After you did that, because when you, the God [worshiped by us] Israeli people, appeared to us at Sinai [Mountain], the earth shook, and rain poured down from the sky.
ntoto wunikuka, diyilu dinokisa mvula va ntualꞌaku. Va ntuala Nzambi, mutu wu Sinayi va ntuala Nzambi, Nzambi yi Iseli.
9 You caused plenty of rain to fall [on your land], [and so] you enabled good crops to grow again on the land that you gave [to us Israelis].
Ngeyo wunokisa masala mawombo, a Nzambi; ngeyo wukindisa kiuka kiaku mu thangu kivonga.
10 Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
Batu baku bavuanda muawu A Nzambi, mu mamboti maku, ngeyo wukubika bima mu diambu di nsukami.
11 The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
Yave wutuba diambu dimosi: batu bawombo bamonika mu yamikisa mawu.
12 [They proclaimed], “Many kings and their armies are running away [from our army]!” [When our army brought back to their homes] the things that they captured, the women who were at home divided up those things [among themselves and among their families].
Mintinu ayi minkangu mi masodi milembo tini mu thinu nsualu, mu bika bi batu, batu bakabula biobi baziona mu mvita.
13 Even those women who were in the pens [taking care of] the sheep [received some of those things]; they got statues of doves whose wings were covered with silver and whose feathers were covered with pure yellow gold.
Lukidi kueno leki va khatitsika bidikulu bi bibulu mavavi ma dibembi diama mavindu palata, zitsala ziandi zivindu nolo yilembo lezama.
14 When Almighty [God] scattered the [enemy] kings [and their armies], [the number of weapons that they abandoned there] seemed like there had been a snowstorm on Zalmon (OR, a black) [Mountain].
Thangu Nzambi nkua ngolo yoso kasasikisa mintinu va ntoto, yiba banga yi matadi ma phembi.
15 There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
Miongo mi Basani midi miongo mi nzitusu; miongo mi Basani midi miongo midi zitsongi ziwombo.
16 But the [people who live near] that mountain should not [RHQ] envy those who live near [Zion], the mountain on which God chose to live! Yahweh will live there forever!
A bila mbi luntadila mu kikhenene, e beno miongo midi zitsongi ziwombo; mongo wowo kasobula mu yadila, kuna niandi veka Yave kela vuandanga mu zithangu zioso.
17 [After we defeated all our enemies], [it was as though] the Lord, surrounded by many thousands of strong chariots, descended from Sinai [Mountain] and came into the sacred temple [in Jerusalem].
Matoma ma mvita ma Yave madi dikumi di zimili ayi zimili yi zimili; Yave wutotukila ku Sinayi mu buangu kiandi kinlongo.
18 He ascended the sacred mountain [where his temple is], and took with him many people who had been captured [in battles]; and received gifts from the enemies [whom he had defeated]. He received gifts even from those who had rebelled against him, and Yahweh our God will live there [in his sacred temple] forever.
Thangu wukuma ku yilu, wunata mu ntandꞌaku batu bakangama. Wutambula makaba kuidi batu ayi kuidi bankua matingu muingi ngeyo, a Yave Nzambi wuvuanda kuna.
19 Praise the Lord, who [helps us] carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.
Nzitusu kuidi Yave, kuidi Nzambi mvulusi eto. Niandi weti kutunatina bizitu bieto lumbu ka lumbu. Niandi Nzambi wukutuvananga phulusu.
20 Our God is the God who saves us; He is Yahweh, our Lord, the one who (allows us to escape/prevents us) from being killed [in battles].
Nzambi eto widi Nzambi weti vukisa. Yave, mutu wumvanganga momo kazodidi, wumvukisanga mu lufua.
21 But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
Bukiedika, Nzambi wela kosikisa mintu mi bambeni bandi; wela kosikisa mintu mi batu bobo badi zitsuki ziwombo, bobo bandiatilanga mu masumu mawu.
22 The Lord said, “I will bring back the [corpses of those who were killed in] Bashan, and I will bring back those who sank deep in the ocean [and drowned].
Pfumu tubidi: “Ndiela kuba totula mu Basani, ndiela kuba totula ku tsina yi mbu,
23 I will do that in order that you may wash your feet in their blood, and your dogs can [also] lap up some of your enemies’ blood.”
Muingi wubuika malu maku mu menga ma bobo beti kulenda ayi ludimi lu zimbua ziaku lubaka kuku kiawu.”
24 God, many people see you march triumphantly into your sacred temple, [celebrating that you have defeated your enemies]. You [march like] a king does, and a large crowd walks with you.
Ndiatulu aku yimonika, a Nzambi. Ndiatulu yi Nzambi ama, ayi yi ntinu ama mu buangu kinlongo.
25 The singers are in front, and the people who play stringed instruments are at the rear, and young women who are beating their tambourines are between them.
Minyimbidi miba ku ntuala; bosi minsiki mi miziki miba landakana, miba va kimosi bana ba baketo bansika zindungu.
26 [They are all singing], “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
Bika luzitisa Nzambi mu lukutukunu lunneni, Luzitisa Yave mu dikabu di Iseli!
27 First come [the people of the tribe of] Benjamin, the smallest [tribe], and following them come the leaders of [the tribe of] Judah and their group, and following them come the leaders of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
Kuna kuidi dikanda di fioti di Benzami, wuba tuadisa, kuna kuba batu bawombo banneni ba Yuda ayi batu banneni ba Zabuloni ayi ba Nefitali.
28 God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
Tumina lulendo luaku, a Nzambi. Wutumonisa zingolo ziaku, a Nzambi banga bobo wutuama vangila.
29 Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
Mu diambu di nzo aku ku Yelusalemi; mintinu miela kunatina makaba.
30 Rebuke [your enemies, such as those in Egypt who are like] wild hippopotamuses/animals that live in the reeds; and [powerful nations that are like] bulls that are among their calves [MET]; rebuke/trample them until they bow down and give you gifts of silver. Scatter the people who enjoy making wars.
Tubidila bulu va khatitsika masoso nkangu zingombi zi mbakala va khatitsika bana zingombi zi makanda. Bu kakululu, wulenda nata bitini bi palata. Sasikisa makanda mona khini mu nuana mvita!
31 Then people will bring gifts of bronze (OR, of cloth) to you from Egypt; the people in Ethiopia will lift up their hands [to praise you].
Batu bafidusu bela totukila mu Ezipite; Kusi wela kukiyekula niandi veka ku tsi minsua mi Nzambi.
32 [You people who are citizens of] kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
Yimbidilanu Nzambi beno bipfumu bi ntoto; yimbilanu minzitusu kuidi Yave;
33 Sing to the God, the one who rides across the sky, the sky that [he created] long ago. Listen as he shouts with a very powerful voice.
Kuidi mutu wowo wundiatila banga va mbata phunda mu diyilu, mu diyilu di khulu. Mutu wowo wulembo dumu mu mbembo yi lulendo.
34 Proclaim that God is very powerful; he is the king that rules over Israel, and in the skies [he also shows that] he is powerful.
Luyamikisa lulendo lu Nzambi nzitusu andi widi va mbata Iseli lulendo luandi luidi mu matuti.
35 God is awesome as he comes out of his sacred temple; he is the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship]. He makes [DOU] his people very powerful. Praise God!
Tsisi widi, a Nzambi, mu buangu kiaku kinlongo. Nzambi yi Iseli niandi weti vana lulendo ayi zingolo kuidi batu bandi. Nzitusu wuba kuidi Nzambi.
