Psalms 13

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? How long will you hide your face from me?

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. A Yave, nate thangu mbi wela tatamana kunzimbakana mu zithangu zioso e? Nate thangu mbi wela kutsuekilanga zizi kiaku e?

2 How long must I worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Nate thangu mbi ndiela kukinuanisanga mu mayingu mama e? Nate thangu mbi ndiela bela maniongo mu ntimꞌama mu kadika lumbu e? Nate thangu mbi mbeni ama kela ku ndunginanga e?

3 Look at me and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

A Yave, Nzambi ama, wuthadi ayi wuphana mvutu, kienzula meso mama mu diambu ndibika leka tulu tu lufua,

4 Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.

mu diambu mbeni ama kabika tuba: “Ndinnungini” ayi muingi batu beti kundenda babika mona khini minu bua.

5 But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Vayi minu tsidi diana mu luzolo luaku lungolo. Ntimꞌama wulembo moni khini mu phulusu aku. Ndiela yimbidila Yave bila niandi wuphangidi mamboti.

6 I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.
