Psalms 84
1 Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
Nkunga wu bana ba Kole kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; bayimbidila mu ngitale yi basi Ngati. A phila lueki luidi mu buangu kiaku kioki weti vuanda! A Nzambi, nkua ngolo yoso.
2 I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
Muelꞌama phuila widi ayi wulembo suki-suki mu diambu di luphangu lu Yave. Ntimꞌama ayi nsuni ama bilembo yamikina mu diambu di Nzambi yi moyo.
3 Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
Ka diambu ko dikuanga beki nzoꞌandi, ayi tsiodila mamvandi beki dianza diandi koko keti lundila bana bandi… buangu kifikimini ntalꞌaku A Yave nkua ngolo yoso, Ntinu ama ayi Nzambi ama!
4 (Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
Lusakumunu kuidi bobo beti vuanda mu Nzo aku! Beti kuzitisa mu zithangu zioso.
5 Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
Lusakumunu kuidi batu bobo zingolo ziawu zidi mu ngeyo; bobo bakubika mintima miawu mu kuenda sambila ku Yelusalemi.
6 While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
Bu bamviokanga mu ndimba wu Baka, buna beti kuwukitula buangu ki zitho zi minlangu; mvula mamvandi wufukidila wawu mu bibuindi.
7 [As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
Zingolo ziawu zieti buelama nate kadika mutu kammonika va ntuala Nzambi yi sioni.
8 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
Wa lusambulu luama, a Yave, Nzambi nkua ngolo yoso, wundimba Nzambi yi Yakobi.
9 God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
Tala nkaku eto, a Nzambi Tadila mu nlemvo mutu aku wuvinda mafuta.
10 [For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
Lumbu kimosi mu luphangu luaku kiviokidi mili di bilumbu kunkaka. Thidi kuama ba nsungi wu muelo mu nzo yi Nzambi ama ayi mu vuandanga mu zinzo zi ngoto zi batu bambimbi.
11 Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
Bila Yave Nzambi niandi thangu ayi nkaku, Yave wela vana nlemvo ayi nzitusu, kadi kima kimosi kimboti kalendi yimina ko bobo bandiatilanga mu kambu tsembolo.
12 Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
A Yave nkua ngolo yoso! Lusakumunu kuidi mutu wowo weti tula diana diandi mu ngeyo!
