Psalms 37
1 By David. Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.
Nkunga Davidi. Kadi fuemina batu bamvanganga mambimbi. Kadi monanga kikhenene bobo bamvanganga mambimbi.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither like the green herb.
Bila banga biti, bela yuma mu nsualu; banga biti bi nlangu bela lebuka mu nsualu.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy safe pasture.
Tula diana diaku mu Yave ayi vanga mamboti; buna wela vuanda mu tsi ayi wela zingila mu ndembama.
4 Also delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Mona khini mu Yave buna wela kuvana mambu mantomba ntimꞌaku.
5 Commit your way to the LORD. Trust also in him, and he will do this:
Yekula nzilꞌaku kuidi Yave, Tula diana diaku mu niandi, buna wela vanga diambu diadi:
6 he will make your righteousness shine out like light, and your justice as the noon day sun.
Wela kienzula busonga buaku banga kiezila ki khiesa buisi nzengolo yi diambu diaku banga thangu va midi.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.
Ba dio sui va ntuala Yave, ayi wuntadidila mu mvibudulu kadi fuemina batu bu balembo moni mamboti mu nzilꞌandi; ayi kadi fuemina batu balembo sadila makani mawu mambimbi.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Don’t fret; it leads only to evildoing.
Bika buela fuema ayi zimbakana nganzi; kadi fuema bila dieti nata kaka ku mambu mambimbi.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
Bila bobo bamvanganga mambimbi bela lalukusu; vayi bobo bantulanga diana diawu mu Yave bela tambula tsi banga kiuka.
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked will be no more. Yes, though you look for his place, he isn’t there.
Fioti kuandi fisiedi, buna batu bambimbi balendi buela monika ko; buna wela tala buangu kibabedi vayi bela va ba ko.
11 But the humble shall inherit the land, and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Vayi minlembami miela tambula tsi banga kiuka ayi miela monanga khini mu ndembama yiwombo.
12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.
Batu bambimbi bamfielanga batu basonga ayi beti kuba kuetila meno.
13 The Lord will laugh at him, for he sees that his day is coming.
Yave wunsevanga mutu wumbimbi; bila zebi ti lumbu kiandi kalembo yizi.
14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.
Batu bambimbi bavola bisabala ayi baleka mimbasa mu diambu di vonda nkua kiadi ayi mutu wusukama; mu diambu di zenga bobo bandiatanga mu nzila yi lulama.
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart. Their bows shall be broken.
Bisabala biawu biela kota mu mintima miawu veka; ayi mimbasa miawu miela kelulu.
16 Better is a little that the righteous has, than the abundance of many wicked.
Baka ku fioti ku mutu wusonga kulutidi ayi baka kuphuedi ku wombo di batu bambimbi.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Bila lulendo lu batu bambimbi luela kelulu, vayi Yave wunsimbanga batu basonga.
18 The LORD knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever.
Bilumbu bi batu bakambulu tsembolo bizabikini kuidi Yave ayi kiuka kiawu kizingilanga mu zithangu zioso.
19 They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Mu thangu yi ziphasi, balendi yuma ko mu lumbu ki nzala, bawu bela mona khini yiwombo.
20 But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of the LORD shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke.
Vayi batu bambimbi bela bungana. Bambeni zi Yave, badi banga kitoko ki zitsola, ziela lalakana; ziela lalakana banga muisi.
21 The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously.
Mutu wumbimbi wundevanga vayi kavutulanga ko; Vayi mutu wusonga weti kabula mu luzolo lu ntima.
22 For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
Bobo Yave kasakumuna bela tambula tsi banga kiuka, vayi bobo kasinga bela lalukusu.
23 A man’s steps are established by the LORD. He delights in his way.
Enati Yave mueni khini mu nzila yi mutu buna wunkindisanga zithambi zi mutu beni.
24 Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for the LORD holds him up with his hand.
Ka diambu ko bumini thutu; kalendi bua ko; bila Yave wukunsimbidilanga mu koko kuandi.
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.
Ndiba ditoko, buabu ndieka nunu; vayi ndisia mona ko mutu wusonga wuyekolo voti ndisia mona ko bana bandi balomba dipha.
26 All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed.
Mu zithangu zioso, beti kabula ayi vananga mu luzolo Bana bawu bela sakumunu.
27 Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
Tina mambimbi; vanga mamboti buna wela vuanda mu tsi mu zithangu zioso.
28 For the LORD loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
Bila Yave wunzolanga mambu masonga ayi kalendi zimbakana ko mikhuikizi miandi. Bela kebungu mu zithangu zioso vayi nkuna wu batu bambimbi wela lalukusu.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
Batu basonga bela tambula tsi banga kiuka ayi bela mukalanga mu zithangu zioso.
30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.
Munu wu mutu wusonga wuntotulanga mambu ma nduenga ayi ludimi luandi luntubanga mambu ma lulama.
31 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
Mina mi Nzambi andi midi mu ntimꞌandi; Malu mandi malendi sialumuka ko.
32 The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him.
Mutu wumbimbi wumfielanga mutu wusonga ayi wuntombanga kumvondisa.
33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Yave kalendi yekula ko basonga mu lulendo lu batu bambimbi voti kuba bika babedoso bu balembo sambusu.
34 Wait for the LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.
Tadidila Yave, ayi keba nzilꞌandi. Buna wela kuyayisa mu diambu wutambula tsi banga kiuka; thangu batu bambimbi bela lalukusu, ngeyo wela bumona.
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.
Ndimona mutu wumbimbi, ayi mutu kondolo kiadi, wuyunduka bumboti banga nti wu nlangu mu ntoto wowo kabutukila.
36 But he passed away, and behold, he was not. Yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Niandi wuvioka, nsualu ayi kasiedi ko. Ndintombidi ngolo vayi kasia monika ko.
37 Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
Fiongunina mutu kambulu tsembolo ayi tala tala mutu wu lulama buna wela mona ti tsukulu yi mutu wowo yidi tsukulu yi ndembama.
38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together. The future of the wicked shall be cut off.
Vayi bankua masumu boso bela vondo va kimosi tsukulu yi batu bambimbi yela ba lalukusu.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD. He is their stronghold in the time of trouble.
Phulusu yi batu basonga kuidi Yave yeti ba. Niandi zingolo ziawu mu thangu yi ziphasi.
40 The LORD helps them and rescues them. He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, because they have taken refuge in him.
Yave wukubasadisanga ayi wukubakulanga; wukubakulanga mu batu bambimbi ayi wukubavukisanga bila mu niandi beti suamina.
