Psalms 141
1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry to thee: make haste to me; give ear to my voice, when I cry to thee.
Nkunga Davidi. A Yave, ngeyo nditela; yiza nsualu kuidi minu. Wa mbemboꞌama mu thangu ndilembo kutedi.
2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Bika lusambulu luama luba va ntualꞌaku banga ansa bika mvumbudulu yi mioko miama yiba banga dikaba di masika.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Tula nsungi va munu ama, a Yave; keba bumboti muelo wu bididi biama.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.
Kadi yinika ntimꞌama ku mambimbi, mu baka kuku mu mavanga mambimbi va kimosi ayi bamvanganga mambimbi; kadi tala ti ndidia bidia biawu bidi lueki.
5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.
Bika mutu wusonga kambeta, diodi didi dimboti; bika kathemina, diodi didi mafuta va ntuꞌama; ayi ntuꞌama wulendi manga mawu ko. Muaki lusambulu luama luela nuanisanga mu zithangu zioso mavanga ma batu bamvanganga mambimbi.
6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
Minyadi miawu miela lozo ku tsi tona ku yilu ngumbu ayi batu bambimbi bela longuka ti mambu mama ndituba, matubu bumboti.
7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Bela tuba: “mutu bu keti kabila ntoto ayi vasila ntoto buawu bobo mimvesi mieto mididi misasakana va muelo tsi bafua”. (Sheol h7585)
8 But my eyes are to thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.
Vayi meso mama madi kaka kuidi ngeyo Yave, mutu wumvanganga makazodidi Kuidi ngeyo ndintombila suamunu, kadi kundiekula mu lufua.
9 Keep me from the traps which they have laid for me, and the snares of the workers of iniquity.
Wukheba mu makondi bathambila ayi mu mintambu mitula batu bamvanganga mambimbi.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape.
Bika batu bambimbi, babua mu makondi mawu veka vayi minu ndiviokila vawu mu luvovomo.
