Psalms 95
1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
Yizanu, bika tuyimbidila Yave mu khini. Bika tuyamikina kuidi ditadi di phulusu eto.
2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
Bika tuizanu ku ntualꞌandi mu vana matondo tunyayisa mu miziki ayi mu minkunga.
3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
Bila Yave widi Nzambi yinneni, ntinu wunneni va yilu zinzambi zioso.
4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
Va koko kuandi muidi vadi phinda zi ntoto zitsongi zi miongo zivuiwulu kuidi niandi.
5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
Mbu wandi bila niandi veka wuvanga wawu ayi mioko miandi mivanga ntoto wu yuma.
6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
Yizanu bika tukikulula mu buongama, bika tufukamanu va ntuala Yave mvangi eto.
7 He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
Bila niandi Nzambi eto ayi beto tuidi batu bandi keta dikila, nkangu mamemi mu ku tsi lukebolo luandi. Enati lumbu kiaku luwilu mbembo andi,
8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
lubika kitula mintima mieno ngolo banga bu luvangila Meliba, banga bu luvangila mu lumbu ki Masa mu dikanga;
9 There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
Kuna madise beno bathotila ayi batsokila; ka diambu ko bamona momo ndivanga.
10 For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
Mu makumaya ma mimvu, ndiba mu nganzi kuidi tsungi yina; ndituba: “badi batu badi mintima mizimbila ayi basia zaba zinzila ziama ko.”
11 So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
Diawu ndizengila ndefi ku tsi nganzi ama: “balendi kota ko mu luvundulu luama.”
