Psalms 36
1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. An evil man speaks of his transgression from deep in his heart, there is no fear of God in his eyes.
Nkunga Davidi, kisadi ki Yave, kuidi pfumu minyimbidi. Mambu ma Nzambi madi mu ntimꞌama Mu mambu matedi disumu di mutu wumbimbi: kuisi ko mambu ma kinzikila Nzambi va meso mandi.
2 For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.
Bila va meso mandi veka, weti kukiniemisa buwombo mu bakula voti lenda masumu mandi.
3 His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.
Mambu ma munuꞌandi madi mambimbi ayi ma luvunu. Wulembo kuandi buela ba nkua nduenga ayi bueba vanga mamboti.
4 While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.
Bu kadi va mbukꞌandi, wunyindulanga mambu mambimbi. Weti kukiyekula niandi veka mu nzila yi masumu kalozanga ko mambu mambimbi.
5 Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.
Luzolo luaku, a Yave, lueti tula nate ku diyilu kikhuikizi kiaku nate mu matuti
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.
Busonga buaku buidi banga miongo minda; zinzengolo ziaku zidi banga dibulu dinneni. O Yave, ngeyo wunkebanga mutu ayi bulu.
7 How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.
Tala phila luzolo luaku lu ngolo lukambu thalu! Luidi luzangulu ayi lukululu va khatitsika batu bobo bansuaminanga ku tsi phozi yi mavevi maku.
8 They feast upon the abundance of your house; you let them drink from the river of your delights.
Beti tula minyengo mu wombo di bima bi nzo aku ayi ngeyo wukubanuikinanga mu nlangu wu makhini maku.
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will see light.
Bila kuidi ngeyo kuidi tho yi luzingu. Mu kiezila kiaku, tulembo moni kiezila.
10 Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.
Landakana vanga luzolo luaku kuidi bawu bazebi ayi busonga buaku kuidi bawu badi mintima mi lulama.
11 Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Bika kulu ku nkua luniemo kubika kumbakidila; voti bika koko ku mutu wumbimbi kubika kuthinisa thama.
12 Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.
Tala phila yilembo buila bisadi bi mambu mambimbi; balumbulu va tsi ayi balendi buela telama ko.
