Psalms 81
1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength: make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
Nkunga Asafi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu ngitala yi basi Ngati. Yimbidilanu Nzambi mu khini; niandi zingolo zieto! Yamikinanu kuidi Nzambi yi Yakobi!
2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Tonanu miziki, sikanu zindungu; Bulanu minningu mu Ngitala ayi lu Lila.
3 Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Sikanu phoka yi dimemi va ntotukila ngondi yi mona; ayi Ngondi bu yidi yiduka ayi mu lumbu ki nyengo eto!
4 For this [was] a statute for Israel, [and] a law of the God of Jacob.
Yayi yidi nzengolo mu diambu di Iseli, ayi tsikudukusu yi Nzambi yi Yakobi,
5 This he ordained in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: [where] I heard a language [that] I understood not.
Wukindisa yawu banga nsiku mu diambu di Zozefi mu thangu kanuanisa tsi yi Ezipite… Kuna tuwa mbembo yoyi tusia sudika ko.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
Tubidi: “Ndibotudi mfuna wubedi va mavangiti mawu. Ayi babotudi pani kibedi mu mioko miandi.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Mu ziphasi ziaku, ngeyo wutela ayi ndikula ndivana mvutu ku tsi dumu ki matuti nditota ku minlangu mi Meliba.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee; O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me;
Wanu beno batu bama, ayi ndiela kululubula: enati beno luzola ku ndimba, a Iseli.
9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Kulendi ba kadi nzambi yi nzenza ko va khatitsikꞌaku. Kulendi buongimina nzambi yi nzenza ko!
10 I [am] the LORD thy God who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Minu ndidi Yave, Nzambi, yoyi yilutotula mu tsi Ezipite; zibula bumboti munu aku ayi ndiela ku wuwesa.
11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would not obey me.
Vayi batu bama basia zola ku ndimba ko; Iseli kasia kuthumukina ko.
12 So I gave them up to their own hearts lust: [and] they walked in their own counsels.
Buna ndiba yekula mu mintima miawu mingolo; mu landakana zikhanu ziawu veka.
13 O that my people had hearkened to me, [and] Israel had walked in my ways!
Enati batu bama bandima kuama, enati Iseli wuzola landakana zinzila ziama!
14 I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
Nganu mu nsualu ndieka tumbu kuba yekudila bambeni ziawu ayi balula koko kuama kuidi bobo beti kuba lenda.
15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves to him: and their time should have endured for ever.
Bobo beti lenda Yave balenda kukikulula va ntualꞌandi ayi nganu thumbudulu awu yela zingilanga mu zithangu zioso;
16 He would have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock I should have satisfied thee.
Vayi nganu ngeyo wudikulu mu ble yilutidi kitoko, mu niosi yintotukila mu ditadi, ndiela kuyukutisila.”
